Study Serbian via Youtube

2011-10-16T01:07:00.000+02:00

You can study Serbian by simply watching Youtube channels. With this new tool which I've discovered recently, I'll be adding annotations to a certain part of the video, in its basic form, and you can use it when learning / teaching Serbian. For example:

When you see "+ulica", make one of the following sentences:

1. Želeo / želela bih da vidim + mesto (= place, but in Accusative)
2. Hoću da vidim /posetim (visit) + mesto in Accusative
3. Interesuje me + mesto in Nominative (use plural with common nouns)
4. Sviđa / sviđaju mi se + mesto in Nominative (sviđa + Sg. or sviđaju + Pl.)

The first example:
1. Želela bih da vidim zgrade (u Beogradu).
2. Želela bih da posetim Skupštinu (u Beogradu).
3. Interesuje me da vidim Sava centar (u Beogradu).
4. Sviđaju mi se ulice (u Beogradu).

Singular = Jednina:

Da li je sat u dnevnoj sobi ? = Is the clock in the living room ?

Da / Ne

Znači ovo je dnevna soba? Baš je lepa ! = So this is the living room ?

It is really beautiful/nice (lep - lepa - lepo)

Plural = Množina:

Da li su stolice na balkonu ? = Are the chairs on the balcony ?

Da /Ne

Znači ovo je balkon ? Baš je prostran! = This is the balcony ?

It is really spacious (prostran - prostrana - prostrano)

How to Enroll and Use Serbian Online Course via Udemy

Serbian Online Course

2011-09-17T15:58:00.003+02:00

If you've been following SerbianLessons pages on this blog, you've probably noticed that there is a growing number of Serbian online courses which I am adding there.

Why do you need a course ?

Because you need a clear step-by-step guidance, and that is exactly what you get when you enroll one of the courses.
Because you need an easily accessible site where you can easily refer back to the videos from the previous lessons, as well as to the videos of upcoming sessions in order to prepare for the online sessions in advance. By joining one of my courses, you are granted unlimited access and downloading option to all the MP4s, MP3s and PDFs.
Because I'm always there for you to answer your questions in real time.
Because there's a friendly community of other students who are learning Serbian and who are having similar experience like you do and who are asking questions you are intersted in.

What do you learn ?

All my courses are goal oriented - each lesson is organized in such a way that you learn to understand/say something useful, inspired by everyday situations.
At the end of each lecture, I add a song which usually has some grammar structure or vocabulary that was presented in the lesson.
Combining learning by singing and drilling the most common phrases and grammar structures from real-life situations, make a solid foundation for your consistent improvement.

How do I teach ?

I must admit it took me 3 years of learning and experimenting to figure out how to transfer all the best practises from face to face teaching into online teaching. It wasn't only about the approach, but also about the most appropriate and simple tools, which can make an online lesson lively, presonal and joyful experience.
In the courses at the upper levels, 201 and 301, I help students take up a role of a teacher and use the language as actively as possible, practising speaking in the most meaningful and practical way.

How customizable can an online course be ?

One of the main advantages of online teaching is that a student can access the audio/video materials whenever they have time and most of all learn at their own pace.
One of the main misconceptions of online teaching is that the students will learn just because of my previous point - that everything is accessible. We are not machines, we need a social aspect to learning in order to be successful. That's why I chose Udemy as the best learning platform, because of its simplicity and possibility for me, as a teacher to gently nudge students to participate, involving them into forum tasks, connecting them with one another and making the most of the IM system there.
Each video recording is not only about the language, but about how you can personalize and use the language for your own needs and purposes.

Kad te nisam zvao ?
Zar ne znaš da srce svoje,
ja dragoj sam noćas dao ?

Chorus = Refren

Lepše su nam noći

Refren

Što rastanak nosiš,
Zoro moja lepa,
Kad ga srce neće?
Još malo na krilu mome
Nek uzdiše moje cveće.

Serbian School Activator Revisited

2011-07-13T02:12:00.001+02:00

In January I proudly presented my most beautiful site, www.skolasrpskog.com and the new concept of teaching Serbian online, which I called SkolaSrpskog Activator. It's been working for six months now, and I am really satisfied with all the language materials I've created in this period:

1. My Youtube channel www.youtube.com/learnserbian has 100 videos more (there were only about 20 up to 2011, and now there are 125, with 99 being visible).

2. The initial concept of an online session which was to consist of a language exercise, recipe and a song, has been changed, according to the feedback of all the subscribers. Still, at the end of each session, we enjoy singing one of the songs which I carefully choose each week.

3. I started adding all the explanations and exercises into pdf files, and also creating fun quizzes with the instand feedback. Some of the pages based on the situational phrases can be downloaded in pdf format from www.SkolaSrpskog.com.

4. During Easter, I organized some kind of an "online language quest" and we all had fun chasing Easter eggs on the site (some of them are still hidden there :) and doing fun exercises in Serbian. Some of the participants won free SkolaSrpskog Activator subscription, some won free 1:1 lessons, and I won many new friends and great ideas for our lessons :-)

5. I started gathering anonymous feedback, and here are just a few lines:
"Everything is super"
"I appreciate the amount of work the instructor puts into the experience. The YouTube videos are helpful"
"Everithing, and my teacher is lovely and flexibile, she love teaching us"

However, all that I've done and created so far is hardly mentioning in comparison to the effort my students have put into their work. They regularly attend the lessons and I am really proud of each one of them.

Today, on Britannia bookshop site, one of my most proficient students of Serbian, Jelena from Санкт-Петербург, Russia published the first part of our interview, which was very much inspired by our SkolaSrpskog Activator lessons.

Hvala Jelena i hvala svim đacima, Jani, Fabijanu, Matiji, Lari, Mirku, Milici, Toniju, Silvini, Ljubi i Tini na ukazanom poverenju, istrajnosti i velikom trudu :) U avgustu ćemo napraviti mali raspust, i onda opet nastavljamo sa časovima u septembru.

For all of you who'd like to learn more about SkolaSrpskog Activator, do join FB SkolaSrpskog Podcast group and you will be invited to attend our Third Friday Free Serbian lessons.

Serbian Holidays - Vidovdan

2011-06-28T19:38:00.001+02:00

Vidovdan je verski praznik koga praznuju Srpska pravoslavna crkva (15. juna po julijanskom kalendaru, 28. jun po gregorijanskom) i Bugarska pravoslavna crkva i jedan je od najvećih srpskih praznika.

Vidovdan nije praznik radosti, ne igra se i ne peva, a ljudi se prisećaju palih ratnika i obilaze njihove grobove.

Običaj zemljoradnika je da tog dana procenjuju kakva će biti letina.
Veruje se da će najbolje roditi strana sa koje se prvo pojave oblaci. Ako nema oblaka, veruje se da godina neće biti rodna. U nekim delovima Srbije seljaci se trude da poljske radove završe pre Vidovdana. (izvor)

"Vukova crtanka" - part two

2011-05-27T11:38:00.001+02:00

The previous post with Serbian proverbs and sayings covered letters from A to Đ, and now we continue from E to Ž:

1. E, darovnome konju zubi se ne gledaju (Don't look a gift horse in the mouth) - nowadays we tend to say "Poklonu se u zube ne gleda" (obviously the word "horse" is omitted, which makes this modern version a bit funny, but it's widely used)

2. E, da sam juče umro ne bih to danas čuo
(literally: If I'd died yesterday I wouldn't hear it today)

3. E, dok jednom ne smrkne, drugom ne svane
(the death of the wolves is the safety of the sheep) -here's the fun definition

4. E, dok se čovek dima ne nadimi, ne može se ogrejati.
(you must take the rough with the smooth)

Ž ( Ж is my favourite letter in the Cyrillic script)

1- Žena muža nosi na licu, a muž ženu na košulji
(literally: "A wife wears a man on her face, and a husband wears his wife on his shirt", which obviously mean that one can judge how a husband treats his wife by looking at her face, while one can judge how a wife takes care of her husband by looking at his shirt)

2. Žedna preko vode prevesti
(pull the wool over sombody's eyes)

3. Žena će samo onu tajnu sačuvati koju ne zna
(a woman can keep only the secret which she doesn't know)

4. Ženi sina kad hoćeš, a ćerku kad možeš
(Marry your son when you will, your daughter when you can)

Verbs of Movement in Locative, Dative and Accusative Case in Serbian Language

2011-05-25T11:37:00.000+02:00

In the Serbian language, one can express location using the verbs which require nouns in different cases.

The dative and locative case have the same form, but wheras the dative case needs a verb which denotes movement and direction, the locative case requires a verb which denotes place.

Dative:

Sg. Fem. Kreni prema kući. Prilazim crkvi. (krenuti prema = leave for, prilaziti = approach)

Sg. Masc. Idi ka Beogradu. Kreni prema muzeju. (ići prema, krenuti prema)

Sg. Neuter. Idi ka selu. Krećemo se ka jezeru. (ići ka, kretati ka = "ka" is the same as "prema")

Plural: Prilazimo + kućama, crkvama, jezerima, selima, muzejima

Locative:

Sg. Fem. Sedim u kući. Ja sam u crkvi. (sedeti u = sit in )

Sg. Masc. Idem ka Briselu. Primičemo se oblaku. (ići ka, primicati se = approach)

Sg. Neuter. Idem prema dvorištu, selu. (ići prema)

Plural: Prilazim + kućama, crkvama, oblacima, dvorištima, selima

The accusative case is also used with the verbs which denote movement, but it denotes the aim or goal, as can be seen in the following examples:

Accusative: (excellent explanation and different forms)

Sg. Fem. Idem u Budimpeštu. Ptica sleće na granu. (ići u = go to, sleteti=land)

Sg. Masc. Izađi pred muzej. Avion sleće na aerodrom. (izađi pred = come to, sleteti)

Sg. Neuter. Izađi u dvorište. Stigli smo na selo. (stići = arrive)

Pl. Fem: Ptice sleću na grane.

Pl. Masc. Izađi pred muzeje.

Pl. Neuter. Reka teče kroz sela.

Serbian Idioms - "Doterati Cara Do Duvara"

2011-05-11T20:05:00.002+02:00

The Serbian idiom "doterati cara do duvara" has the similar meaning as the English one "to come to a head". I have often heard this phrase in my childhood, always wondering what "duvar" might mean.

The word "duvar" is a loan word, and if you go to Google translate and check it at Turkish-English translation, you'll find out that the meaning of the word is "zid" (wall). So, the literal translation would resemble the expression "to drive someone (in this case "the tzar") up the wall" and yet, Serbian phrase for this expression (drive someone up the wall) is "dovesti nekog do ludila" (or litterally "make someone crazy"). You can check the pronunciation of these two idioms here, at our audio forum (and I hope you'll surprise your Serbian family or friends by pronouncing the phrases correctly and using them appropriately).

Talking about the usage, I was really surprised that in my group of eight teenage students only one had heard of "doterati cara do duvara". She explained that her teacher of Serbian insists on students learning and using proverbs and idioms, but she also hasn't heard of the phrase being used outside of the classroom! Does this mean that we tend to use idioms less frequently, or is it the case just with this idiom ? Maybe the world has changed for better and retko iko ikada (rarely does anyone) "dotera cara do duvara" :)

Veselo je srce golemo blago.

Gde je stida, tu je i poštenja.
D - Delo čoveka hvali.
Dogovor kuću gradi.
Đ - Đe (gde) je obraz tu je i duša.
Đe će kruška no pod krušku.

Q-A:
Pitao sin oca, kad je po svetu hteo poći:
- Od šta mi se valja najviše čuvati ?
- Od tuđe muke.

Tongue Twisters: (audio)
Pitala metla metlu, gde je metla metlu; Metla metla metlu iza vrata.
Čokančićem ćeš me, čokančićem ću te!
Cvrči, cvrči cvrčak, trči, trči trčak; trči, trči trk! Trčak trkom trči, crni cvrčak cvrči!

Easter Egg Hunt

SkolaSrpskog.com Easter Egg Hunt finished on Tuesday. Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to everyone for joining ! It wasn't easy to find an egg and then to record an answer in Serbian.

I'm publishing the results now ... you can read them as "This prize is in..." = Ova nagrada je u ..." or "This egg is now in..." = "Ovo jaje je sada u ..."

Since the first egg at the top, worth 3 months of free Aktivator membership, was the most difficult to find, and wasn't claimed at all, I'll give it to Silvina from Argentina, the woman behind @NovakFunClub . There was also one more unclaimed egg, worth one month of free SkolaSrpskog Aktivator, which I'm giving to Tina - a dedicated student from the Netherlands. Čestitke svima :-)
