Govori se da me varaš
i da _______ me ostaviti
a znaš dobro da sam bolan
i da ___________ ozdraviti
Znam da više prava nemam
na te tvoje oči crne
slaži makar da me voliš
ne daj da mi duša trne
Ti _______ opet ić' u kolo
dolazit ______ polivači
pivat _________ pisme stare
pratit _______ vas tamburaši
A nediljom kad _____ šetaš
šuškat će na tebi svila
sigurno ________ zaboravit'
da si kadgod moja bila
ne lomi mi srcu grane
sačekaj da samo stane.

If you need a thourough explanation of the Genetive case in Serbian, take a look at these pdf pages.
My advice for you would be to learn Serbian by listening to songs, such as this one:

Want to practise comparing adjectives in Serbian ? Best way is to do it in relaxed atomsphere, while listening to "old-town songs" and playing the comparison game I made for you, rather than learning the myriads of sound change rules :) Hope you like it!

In January I proudly presented my most beautiful site, www.skolasrpskog.com and the new concept of teaching Serbian online, which I called SkolaSrpskog Activator. It's been working for six months now, and I am really satisfied with all the language materials I've created in this period:
1. My Youtube channel www.youtube.com/learnserbian has 100 videos more (there were only about 20 up to 2011, and now there are 125, with 99 being visible).
2. The initial concept of an online session which was to consist of a language exercise, recipe and a song, has been changed, according to the feedback of all the subscribers. Still, at the end of each session, we enjoy singing one of the songs which I carefully choose each week.
3. I started adding all the explanations and exercises into pdf files, and also creating fun quizzes with the instand feedback. Some of the pages based on the situational phrases can be downloaded in pdf format from www.SkolaSrpskog.com.
4. During Easter, I organized some kind of an "online language quest" and we all had fun chasing Easter eggs on the site (some of them are still hidden there :) and doing fun exercises in Serbian. Some of the participants won free SkolaSrpskog Activator subscription, some won free 1:1 lessons, and I won many new friends and great ideas for our lessons :-)
5. I started gathering anonymous feedback, and here are just a few lines:
"Everything is super"
"I appreciate the amount of work the instructor puts into the experience. The YouTube videos are helpful"
"Everithing, and my teacher is lovely and flexibile, she love teaching us"
However, all that I've done and created so far is hardly mentioning in comparison to the effort my students have put into their work. They regularly attend the lessons and I am really proud of each one of them.
Today, on Britannia bookshop site, one of my most proficient students of Serbian, Jelena from Санкт-Петербург, Russia published the first part of our interview, which was very much inspired by our SkolaSrpskog Activator lessons.
Hvala Jelena i hvala svim đacima, Jani, Fabijanu, Matiji, Lari, Mirku, Milici, Toniju, Silvini, Ljubi i Tini na ukazanom poverenju, istrajnosti i velikom trudu :) U avgustu ćemo napraviti mali raspust, i onda opet nastavljamo sa časovima u septembru.

Happy Holidays from Ivan&Marina & Nat (AhoyThere)

Endings for the 1st, -am, conjugation group of verbs in Serbian in the Present Tense are
-am - aš - a -amo -ate -aju
Endings for the Accusative Fem. Nouns:
Nouns in Singular + question ''šta'' (what) requires the noun in Accusative - find out what the rule is for the Nouns which are Feminine Singular:
Yes, you are right, the ending for Sg. Fem. Noun in Accusative is - U, while
Sg. Masc and neuter have no endings (at least not in the inanimate category).
Now, let's check what's happening in the Plural with Fem. nouns:
Pl. Masc. gets an -i ending, and it also changes to -e, like in "odgovor" - so for plural, don't think
twice, simply add -E and you'll do it splendidly :)
Neuter nouns in Pl. add -a, but then they don't change in Accusative, which is also very nice. So, we
have the example "odelo" in Sg., "odela" in Pl. and then, "Kupio sam odela" IN Acc. is the same.
Let's practise:
-am - aš - a -amo -ate -aju
Endings for the Accusative Fem. Nouns:
Nouns in Singular + question ''šta'' (what) requires the noun in Accusative - find out what the rule is for the Nouns which are Feminine Singular:
- ŠTA ČEKAŠ? ČEKam tvoj ODGOVOR. (odgovor - answer)
- ŠTA ČITAŠ? ČITam KNJIGU. (knjiga - book)
- ŠTA GLEDAŠ? GLEDam PRIREDBU. (priredba - show)
- ŠTA IGRAŠ? IGRam ODBOJKU. (odbojka - volleyball)
- ŠTA IMAŠ? IMam SVESKU. (sveska - notebook)
Let's practise:
Yes, you are right, the ending for Sg. Fem. Noun in Accusative is - U, while
Sg. Masc and neuter have no endings (at least not in the inanimate category).
Now, let's check what's happening in the Plural with Fem. nouns:
- ŠTA OBOŽAVAŠ? OBOŽAVAM KNJIGe. (knjiga - knjige = book - books)
- ŠTA PEVAŠ? PEVAM PESMe. (pesma - pesme = song -songs)
- ŠTA PRIČAŠ? PRIČAM PRIČe. (priča - priče = story - stories)
- ŠTA KUPUJEŠ? KUPUJEM HALJINe. (haljina - haljine = dress - dresses)
- ŠTA RUČAŠ? RUČAM PEČURKe. (pečurka - pečurke = mashrooms)
- ŠTA ČEKAŠ ? ČEKAM ODGOVORe (odgovori - odgovore = answers)
Pl. Masc. gets an -i ending, and it also changes to -e, like in "odgovor" - so for plural, don't think
twice, simply add -E and you'll do it splendidly :)
Neuter nouns in Pl. add -a, but then they don't change in Accusative, which is also very nice. So, we
have the example "odelo" in Sg., "odela" in Pl. and then, "Kupio sam odela" IN Acc. is the same.
