Language learning tip - reading

by Club Francais on Monday, June 01, 2009 in comprehension exercises

Comparative reading exercise using the BBC website. First choose a popular story from BBC Serbian & then choose the same story the English (French) or whatever language you use. http://www.bbc.co.uk/serbian/

It is not quite parallel text reading but it will help you in gaining more of a gist of the story in Serbian. An example is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/serbian/news/2009/06/090601_air_france.shtml

Marina has been a fantastic teacher. She has taken me from knowing absolutely no Serbian and brought me to a level where I am excited to live and thrive in a country where they speak Serbian. I have recommended her and will continue to pass her name along for other students who are interested in learning. I look forward to continuing to keep in touch with her. Katie, USA, 2014

I have been working with Marina twice a week through Udemy since late August and LOVE her and all of her videos and classroom work through Udemy. It is so helpful to be able to log in at any time during the day or night and listen and watch her videos. She breaks each lesson down very well and makes it simple to learn and to interact and practice on my own before our classtime. I will highly recommend Marina to other friends as well as Udemy!
