Here comes a fun slider to help you improve your speaking skills while describing these two photos:

Useful conjugations:

RAZMIŠLJATI: razmišljAM - razmišljAŠ - razmišljA /// razmišljAMO - razmišljATE - razmišljAJU
RAZGOVARATI: razgovarAM ... razgovarAJU
RADITI: radIM - radIŠ - radi /// radIMO - radITE - radE

Razmišljam da te nešto pitam = I've been thinking to ask you something

A great way to practice speaking Serbian is by playing fun online games which are as simple as:

finding a hidden object
dress up flash games
cooking and similar
spotting a difference
asteroid language games

You can practice speaking by following these steps:

at first watch the video with me pronouncing the phrases/sentences
try to speak along with me
next, mute the video and say the phrases or sentences on your own
finally, you are ready to play these games yourself and speak in Serbian while playing them :)

Let me show you a few examples of the videos I created for my students.

Revising Serbian Phrases

Marina Serbian language 365 , Serbian phrases

It's true that it might be difficult to understand some of the Serbian phrases if pronounced quite fast and somewhat incomprehensibly, but the real challenge is surely how to respond appropriately!

That's why I recorded a new video lesson for you, which can be used at all levels (click stop when you are out of your depth). You can use it in different ways:

To check how well you can understand fast speech, simply listen to the phrases and try to jot them down, without watching the video below!
If it is too easy, try to hear the phrase and then respond to it, as fast as you can, without clicking the pause button.
If you are not sure if you understood the phrases, play the video while watching it.
Now, if you are sure what all the phrases mean, try to respond to them, even try to write down/practice with your language partner, how you'd continue the conversation.
Have fun!
