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.
