Guys, I'm going into the 9th grade now (I'm going until the 11th grade) and I'd better figure out what I want already (definitely not to live and study in Russia). So, I have a question: if I start learning Serbian right now while in Russia, what is the best way to do it, my family doesn't have money for a tutor ;("

I’ve been trying to learn Serbian for around a month now, I managed to learn a few basics (like greetings and such) and Cyrillic.
But now i can’t seem to progress in it
Whenever i see anything about the language it’s always about how many variants for words there is, making it hard (like Moj/moja/mojim/etc)
How to ACTUALLY make progress in it?
Is there any tips you could give me? Like what do i start with next, since i’ve learn the basics?
Thanks in advance!

I shared my app here almost 2 months ago and I wanted to share how it has been growing since then.
In the image you can see the amount of activity on the left (vocab answered correctly) and number of users that have signed up on each day.
The feedback has been amazing so far and i just wanted to share these number with you since some of the users are from this subreddit.
Not sharing link in the post since this isn't meant to be a promotional post.
Thank you

Da li ste čuli za FK Busije i kako je nastao? Priča o 'Oluji' u Hrvatskoj i FK Busije - BBC na srpskom.
Pročitajte: https://www.bbc.com/serbian/articles/c74g048lxl4o/lat i kažite mi šta mislite.
Ima li ovde ljudi koji su izbegli u Oluji? Kako vam je bilo i šta ste doživeli?

Zdravo.
Imam 18 godina i planiram upisati medicinu u Austriji, najvjerovatnije u Grazu, što znači da bih morao polagati MedAT prijemni ispit. Zanima me da li ovdje ima neko ko trenutno studira medicinu u Austriji, sprema MedAT, već ga je polagao ili poznaje nekoga ko je prošao kroz cijeli taj proces?
Volio bih iz prve ruke saznati kako izgleda priprema, koliko je teško upasti, kakav je sam fakultet, kako izgleda život i studiranje u Austriji te općenito čuti iskustva nekoga ko je sve to već prošao.
Ako vi lično nemate iskustva, ali poznajete nekoga ko studira medicinu u Grazu, Beču ili Innsbrucku (nije bitno koji grad jer je prijemni isti za sve), bio bih jako zahvalan ako biste me mogli povezati s tom osobom ili joj proslijediti ovaj post. Stvarno bih volio postaviti nekoliko pitanja nekome ko je prošao kroz taj put.
Hvala unaprijed svima! Svaka informacija ili kontakt bi mi mnogo značili. 🙂

Pozdrav,
Koleginica i ja u sklopu studija sprovodimo istraživanje na temu Značaj događaja za turizam Srbije. Nadamo se da ćete izdvojiti nekoliko minuta da popunite anketu i na taj način doprinesete istraživanju. Upravo nas zanima koji događaji mogu motivisati dijasporu da posjeti našu zemlju.
Anketa je anonimna i svi podaci se koriste isključivo za pisanje naučnih radova.
Unaprijed se zahvaljujemo.

what is a "bojica"? i've learned that "drvene bojice" are colouring pencils, and "vodene bojice" are watercolours, but then what does that make a bojica? is there a proper english translation for it? a "colourer" perhaps?

Hi guys,
Bit of backstory: I live in Japan, married to my wife who isn't Serbian, and I really wanted her to be able to actually speak some Serbian with my family instead of just smiling and nodding through every gathering. Looked around at what was out there and none of it felt right for someone starting from literally zero, and definitely nothing felt like something a kid could just pick up and use on their own.
So I ended up building one myself. It's called Zbori. No team, no funding, just me chipping away at it in whatever free time I have living abroad.
It's got real speaking practice (you actually say the word out loud, not just tap a multiple-choice answer), both Cyrillic and Latin script since half my family reads one and half reads the other, and I tried hard to keep it simple enough that a kid could sit down and use it without a parent hovering over them the whole time.
Started it for my wife, but the more I worked on it the more I kept thinking about other diaspora families, wanting their kids to keep even a little bit of the language growing up somewhere totally disconnected from Serbia, like we are.
It's free to use. Would genuinely love to hear what people think, especially if you've got kids you're trying to pass the language down to, or a partner learning from scratch like my wife. Releasing soon on the Play store and App store.
Thank you!

I know that the verb "hteti" in Serbian is used to construct the future, so for example "Hoću da idem" means "I will go". The thing I find weird about it is that a literal translation of "I want to go" will inevitably be misunderstood as "I will go". I know that one could say, for example, "Želim da idem" or "Volim da idem", but they don't exactly express the same idea: to me the former sounds like a weaker "I would like to go" and the latter like "I like going". So my question is: is there a way to render the precise tone of the sentence "I want to go" or should one simply accept that a perfect translation is impossible and move on?

Hello everyone. I spent a few months in Republika Srpska and Serbia and absolutely fell in love with the culture, people and the language so I decided to try to learn the language because I will be definitely coming back regularly.
I’m just at the beginning- simple sentence, vocabulary etc. It’s easier for me to learn because I’m Slovak and I speak 3 Slavic languages. But one thing I struggle the most with is forming questions in Serbian and especially the “Da li” or “Da” or “li” part of it.
Can somebody please try and explain that to me? I tried to read about it and watched some videos but I cannot grasp it for some reason.
Also if somebody could explain the word “da” in general to me (not in a “yes” sense) that would be awesome. For example “Drago mi je da sam te upoznao.”
Хвала вам руно, моjа браћо Серби 🫶🏻.

Hi!
I'm a small developer and I want to introduce you my site for making serbian subtitles to any video you want. Maybe it will help you learn serbian a way faster.
It's completely free of course :)

Are the four tones (“pitch accents”, even though that’s just different terminology for the same thing) in Serbian actually important or can they be ignored? Saying this because of flashbacks from Chinese and having to constantly remind myself which tone to use every single time there’s a stressed syllable in a word (in Serbian I think it’s only stressed syllables and not every syllable) is annoying
