Kad si se zagrejao baš za tu kompjutersku igricu? 
    d. misliti - zamisliti
Nikad nisam mislio da ću navijati za Liverpul! Zamisli mene pre pet godina, nisam ni znao gde je Liverpul, ni šta je fudbal :D

Listening Comprehension - Videos with Serbian Subtitles and Exercises

Videos with Serbian Subtitles and Exercises

Because there is such a lack of videos in Serbian with subtitles, I'll do my best to choose good ones, add the subtitles & translation and turn them into great learning resources. Let me start by sharing this fun video about Lepa Brena, a famous Serbian singer.  


Listening Comprehension - Text about Lepa Brena

Lepa Brena, Fahreta Živojinović, poznatija kao Lepa Brena,  jugoslovenko-srpska je folk, pop-folk i pop pevačica, poreklom iz Bosne i Hercegovine.  Njena popularnost u Jugoslaviji rasla je veoma brzo već od pojavljivanja u filmu "Tesna koža" postaje prepoznatljivo lice, veoma prisutno u medijima. Njen  šut u glavu, a potom i pad pamti cela Jugoslavija... i još jedan pad, i nećete verovati, još jedan.
