Youtube is a great source of unique and authentic materials for learning Serbian, which I have been sharing with you under "listening comprehension" tag. One of the best and most comprehensible TV series for learning the Serbian language are surely ancient "Neven", as well as "Poletarac", directed by Timothy Byford and featuring the most prominent actors, actresses and sportsmen from ex-Yugoslavia in the early eighties.
Watch the first part of "Poletarac" and you'll see why it can come in handy when learning Serbian:
1. Part one about swimming (plivanje) and knowing (znanje) from the beginning to minute 3:00
