I am happy to announce that my third book with easy texts both in Cyrillic and Latin alphabet, Who is Who, has been published!
Let me remind you of the first two books, which you can read along with me on my Youtube channel and Patreon page:
This book called "What you can see on the farm" is just the first part of the series covering animal and farm vocabulary, together with the most common verbs in Serbian.
In the third book, Who is Who, we are dealing with some similar names like Jovan and Jovana or Ivan and Ivana. Since they can be a bit confusing, we are trying to figure out who is who, by following our friends in search of one another. At the end of the book there is an Activity book where you need to find the hidden page numbers... a little bit of Locative case will always prove useful in the days to come :D
