Miljana is stable, open-minded and realistic. She’s brave and proactive. She’s very friendly, loves travelling and going out. In her classes you will gradually adopt the Serbian language through communication and laughter, and also learn about the Serbian culture and tradition.

˝I like teaching Serbian, and especially enjoy teaching about my culture and tradition. Meeting new interesting people and different cultures is very motivating for me. In my class, we talk in Serbian about many topics. It’s especially interesting when we share experiences and talk about different perspectives in the Serbian language. That can be achieved with our joint efforts”, says Miljana.

Apart from Serbian, which is her native language, Miljana speaks English and some Russian.
