If we only learn some words and basic Serbian phrases, it will be difficult to reach a higher understanding of the language. That’s why we need to learn the principles behind. Grammar explains these principles and rules how this communicative system operates. We explain grammar crystal clear and we help you form grammatical sentences with confidence.

How do I know?

As a professional Serbian teacher, I’ve learned about 15 foreign languages to a different extent. I’m native Serbian (trained to speak Croatian too), fluent in English, Greek, Italian and Spanish, and I’m learning German and Russian at the moment.

I also co-created the Serbian course for one of the most famous language-learning applications. You might recognize my voice from there.

While I don’t know everything about linguistics, I definitely know A LOT about learning languages and – especially, about learning and teaching Serbian as a foreign language, and creating Serbian language courses.
