Living language, conversation clubs, and vocabulary trainer
Lectures, excursions, and a library
To start living happily and fully in a new country, it’s important to understand its history, culture, and mindset. That’s why we organize lectures where you can learn slang and regional differences across Serbia, and understand what various graffiti on the walls really mean.

We also go on excursions to cities and landmark locations, such as Subotica or the monasteries of Fruška Gora.
Learning doesn’t end after the lesson. To make sure the language doesn’t stay only in textbooks, we strive to show it as living and real every day.

On our social media — Instagram and Telegram — we share small pieces of everyday Serbian life: from funny memes and everyday expressions to interesting cultural insights and traditions. It’s an easy and unobtrusive way to feel closer to the language, hear how it truly sounds, and see how it’s used in real-life situations.
Daily immersion in language and culture
This allows you to continue learning Serbian even when you can’t physically attend classes (for example, if you’re on vacation or feeling unwell). You can learn more about the course here.
In addition to offline classes, our school offers an online course that you get free access to. It mirrors the main learning program and is enriched with interactive exercises to help reinforce the material.
The online course "Ja govorim srpski" with a vocabulary trainer
In addition to classes, we hold meetings of the conversation club, where we practice spoken language in a safe environment.

Each club is aimed at leveling up a specific skill. For example, we watch TV shows to better understand native speakers. We read a book to expand our vocabulary. We act out situations (in the bank, the police) in order to better solve everyday problems.
From 17 conversation clubs every week
2 classes per week in mini-groups of up to 6 students
Thanks to the mini-group format, classes take place in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, and the teacher is able to give attention to each student. We strive to make lessons not only goal-oriented, but also an engaging and enjoyable learning journey.

Сербский и русский относятся к славянской группе языков. Это огромное преимущество, потому что между нашими языками существует много сходств. Однако чтобы эффективно использовать эти сходства и избежать путаницы, необходима специальная программа.
