Use Desanka Maksimović’s Medvedova ženidba to teach Serbian through story, rhythm, prediction and repeated listening.

Serbian with Children's Stories

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 Intro to Medvedova ženidba by Desanka Maksimović.
