Finish with “Nosim kacigu dok gasim požar.” and “Pišem recepte i spremam jela u restoranu.”. One should become a short dialogue; the other should be recorded twice, with clearer rhythm and more confident recall on the second attempt.
Who Am I? Begins with Ja Sam
| Latin script | Cyrillic script | English |
|---|---|---|
| Živim na selu i svakog jutra hranim životinje. | Живим на селу и сваког јутра храним животиње. | I live in the countryside and feed animals every morning. |
| Radim u bolnici, ali nisam lekarka. | Радим у болници, али нисам лекарка. | I work in a hospital, but I am not a doctor. |
| Imam violinu i sviram u velikom orkestru. | Имам виолину и свирам у великом оркестру. | I have a violin and play in a large orchestra. |
| Nosim kacigu dok gasim požar. | Носим кацигу док гасим пожар. | I wear a helmet while putting out a fire. |
| Pišem recepte i spremam jela u restoranu. | Пишем рецепте и спремам јела у ресторану. | I write recipes and prepare dishes in a restaurant. |
Imagine a picture for “Živim na selu i svakog jutra hranim životinje.” and a sound for “Radim u bolnici, ali nisam lekarka.”. Now produce “Imam violinu i sviram u velikom orkestru.” without either cue and check the Serbian ending.
