Learn the language
Prepare for everyday conversations before you move. Pick a lesson and start practising.

Take your progress with you
Back up lesson completion and review schedules; choose the file in another browser to restore.
The file contains only this course’s completion marks, review times and daily practice records, not account or session data. It is not sent to a server. Restore keeps your current daily goal, combines completions and uses the newer review record. This is not automatic account sync.
Course backup in my account
Save this course’s completions, review schedule and last 14 days of practice to your Sırbistan İş account only when you choose. Check shared-device records before uploading. This is not automatic sync.
Greetings and politeness
Greet someone, thank them, and politely ask for repetition.
Pronunciation aids are approximate and written for Turkish speakers; they do not represent every sound or stress pattern. This browser has no voice for this language. You can still use the written pronunciation aids.

Practice workshop
Practise the selected lesson’s phrases in two ways.
This practice matches only the lesson’s example, not alternative valid wording. Case, spacing and punctuation are ignored; Serbian letters remain distinct. Results stay in this session and do not change lesson progress.
Understand the local language
- This Serbia course uses ekavian forms: gde (где), vreme (време), mleko (млеко). Ijekavian is also standard in Serbian. Every phrase is shown in Latin and Cyrillic.
- With adults you have just met, vi (ви) and -te forms are a polite starting point. Many phrases are shared with Bosnian; learn this course’s Serbian spellings and word choices together.
- Readings are approximate aids using Turkish letters, not IPA; they omit stress and vowel length. ç’ marks ć and c’ marks đ; the apostrophe adds no sound. ly/ny approximate single palatal sounds. Turkish spelling cannot fully represent č/ć or dž/đ.
