If you liked the first part of the story of Dundo Bear's Wedding, I am sure you've been eagerly waiting for its sequel :) Here it comes, but this time you'll be able to read the explanation, English translation and you'll have to answer a few questions before you hear what happened in the second part:
Let me know if you like it?
Javi mi da li ti se sviđa?
What do you think what is the next animal Dundo bear will come across?
Šta misliš na koju životinju će medo Dundo naići?

While preparing a new course based on simple, short stories in Serbian via Udemy, I wanted to share a video lesson dedicated to the verb to be and rooms in a flat:
Ovo je moj stan. On nije mali. U prizemlju je kuhinja i trpezarija i mali toalet. Šta je ovo? Ovo je kuhinja. Šta je ovo? Ovo je trpezarija. Na prvom spratu je radna soba i tatina ordinacija. Na drugom spratu su spavaće sobe i velika dnevna soba. Sa leve strane su spavaće sobe. Sa desne strane je dečija soba i kupatilo.
Da li možete da pogodite koje su ovo sobe?

Da li možete da pogodite koje su ovo sobe?
- Na ovoj slici je...
- Mislim da je ovo...
- Ovo je...
- Ovo je možda...
- Ovo je sigurno...
Da li možete da opišete svoj stan na sličan način?

This is my apartment. It is not small. On the ground floor (there) is the kitchen and dining room and a small toilet. What is this? This is a kitchen. What is this? This is a dining room. On the first floor (there) is a study room and my dad's office. On the second floor (there) are bedrooms and a large living room. On the left side (there) are the bedrooms.

I think that children learn a language best through stories, chants and songs. I've already written about Dundo Bear's Wedding story back in 2013, but now I decided to turn it into a series of lessons which can be used for learning and teaching Serbian.
Let me introduce you to the first part of the story with this four minute long Intro to Medvedova ženidba by Desanka Maksimović.
