Serbonika’s Summer School is a 15-day long immersion course combining tourism and gastronomy with language, culture, art, music and history lessons. It includes Serbian language lessons held every day Monday to Friday in a classroom, plus culture classes: creative workshops, music and traditional dancing lessons, visits to museums and other institutions, excursions, restaurants.

SUMMER SCHOOL INTENSIVE COURSE PROGRAM

The Summer School consists of language lessons with afternoon and weekend activities. It’s aimed to make you speak Serbian and use the language in daily interactions with confidence. The activities will put you in situations to interact with the Serbs in Serbian, and the Serbian language lessons will prepare you for these interactions.

The program includes guided visits to museums, restaurants, parks, the Sava beach, fieldtrips, and home activities at the Jelić family house, cooking, grilling, or just hanging out.

You will study Serbian in a small group so you can be actively involved all the time and get personal approach.

Attention!    We can only accept a small number of people since the program is very personal: you will be our guest.

The Serbonika Summer Course is ideal for you if you’re at a B1 level and above in Serbian: you’ve been learning Serbian for some time and are familiar with the most important grammar rules and vocabulary.

If you’re still at an A level, join our mini-groups and get ready for the summer school in time!

Here you can watch a video that will show you how our Serbian Summer School was in 2021. Or you can read all details and transcript of the video on our blog.
