I wish you all a very happy Ortodox Easter with a few useful links to prepare you to greet your friends and family and learn something new about this day:
If you like learning a language by solving puzzles, this video "zagonetka" is perfect for you:
There's an additional exercise page, but make sure you write the answers in the Serbian Cyrillic script in order to get the proper feedback (simply click "check" button after filling in the gaps).
Let's just practise the verb "to be" in the imperative mood with this video and the follow-up exercise:
Informally: "budi"
Formally or for 2nd person Plural: "budite"
It took me some time to realize that Serbian 101 e-book, with over 40 video lessons and exercises and more than 3 hours of content, needs a short video with instructions how to use it ! I hope this video helps!
Since we are preparing for Ortodox Easter on 5th May, there's a 30% discount until this day if you purchase Serbian 101 via Plimus, or join its Udemy version: simply type "Uskrs5maj" in the box which says "coupon code" (valid until 5th May 2013). The price of the e-book is $17 until Easter !
While watching the video try to figure our which sentences I changed and which synonims I used. You can also try to solve which numbers 1- 5 are missing. After the careful comparison, try to do the additional exercises:
with nouns (the Cyrillic script - still under construction)
Godine .1. slovenska plemena su našla novu domovinu na teritoriji nekadašnjeg vizantijskog Ilirika.
Od reka Save i Dunava pa sve do Peloponeza, Sloveni su pronašli domovinu. Te teritorije na kojima žive Sloveni, vizantijski pisci zovu Sklavinijama. To su plemenski organizovane oblasti u kojima je središnja vlast poglavara ograničena.
Nekadašnja metropola Ilirika ostaće kod Slovena poznata kao Caričin Grad. Imena stotine vizantijskih gradova biće zauvek izgubljena - a sećanja na njih zameniće opšti slovenski pojam za napušten grad "gradina" ili "gradište".
Učeni vizantijski pesnik, Georgije Pisida u Carigradu , piše stihove o teškim vremenima koji su zadesila njegovu zemlju. U jednom stihu kaže da se i Varvari međusobno bore: Avar ubija Slovena i potom biva ubijen - i time su ometeni u vođenju jedinstvene borbe. Na osnovu ovog usamljenog podatka, pretpostavlja se da je .2. godine, nakon neuspele avarsko-slovenske opsade Carigrada, došlo do značajnih sukoba Avara i Slovena.
If you downloaded Serbian 101 e-book, you can easily access the video lessons explaining how to use the verb TO BE and practice both writing and speaking with it:
Uvod = Introduction
Watch the videos and try to pronounce the personal pronouns and the verb TO BE together.
Watch this video and practise asking basic questions and giving answers. The next step is to ask the same questions with "Vi". You can watch one of the previous video lessons with Serbian phrases covering the topic " Vi" vs. "Ti" in Serbian.
Learning any language by singing songs is certainly much more appealing than learning the grammar rules and doing boring tasks. Since all the students ask for the grammar explanations in order to make sense of what is being spoken, I decided to create a few web pages with songs followed by grammar exercises, based on the lyrics. I'm curious to know if you like it ? Here comes the first 20 songs (click on the cover or the following link):
If you got interested in solving detective stories while learning Serbian, soon you'll be able to buy special e-books (like this one) which will lead you to video lessons step by step - the more you "discover", the more videos you'll open, which will help you crack the case :) In the meantime, let's prepare for the Mystery of Poisoned Beer, by doing the task about Serbian wine regions (vinski regioni Srbije) :)))))))
