Ћирилица - Comprehension Exercise for Advanced Learners in Cyrillic

Ако учите српски језик, већ знате да је наше писмо ЋИРИЛИЦА. Има је свуда - на таблама са називима улица, на рекламама, саобраћајним знацима, у школским књигама... Иако користимо и латиницу, ћирилица је наше национално писмо и на њу смо поносни. Она је битан део српске и балканске културе. Ћирилична слова изгледају шармантно, а звуче заводљиво. Проверите и сами - Љ за љубав и љуљашку, Њ за његово и њено, Џ за џукац, Ђ за ђубре, Д за добар дан... 


Test your knowledge and then check your answers with Serbian teacher online.

How it works - Kako to funkcioniše

How it works?

Simple!

First we have introductory (free) conversation. In it you tell me what is your purpose and goal in learning Serbian, how far do you want to go, and do you have some previous knowledge or not at all. 

Then we agree on weekly term for the lesson and the way of payment which suits you best. 

Before every lesson, I send to your email texts, pictures, links, grammar lessons, exercises etc. 

Then - we have normal lessons of  Serbian language. Our classroom is virtual and we have headphones, but we communicate and learn Serbian exactly the same as we were sitting in a same room, in our comfortable chairs, at the desk. 

Then - you are enjoying in learning Serbian and becoming more confident in communication. Everybody tells you: 'You have really advanced lately!'

If you have questions about this topic or you want to schedule introductory conversation, you may write me to kratkeprice@gmail.com .


---

Kako to funkcioniše?

Jednostavno!

Prvo imamo uvodni (besplatni) razgovor preko Skajpa. Tada mi Vi kažete za koje svrhe Vam je potreban srpski jezik, da li imate neko predznanje ili ne i koji je Vaš cilj - do kog nivoa govorenja i pisanja srpskog jezika želite da stignete.

Onda se dogovorimo o nedeljnom terminu i o načinu plaćanja koji Vam najviše odgovara.

Onda Vam pre svakog časa pošaljem na mejl materijal za učenje - tekstove, slike, linkove, vežbanja, gramatičke lekcije itd.

Onda - imamo normalne privatne časove srpskog jezika. Naša učionica je virtuelna i imamo slušalice na ušima, ali razgovaramo i učimo kao da sedimo u istoj prostoriji, udobno smešni u svojim stolicama, za radnim stolom.

Onda - uživate u učenju srpskog jezika i postajete samouvereni u komunikaciji. Svi Vam kažu: 'U poslednje vreme baš napreduješ!'

How to Make Gibanica? (Serbian Dishes - part 1)

Probably you have already tasted Serbian gibanica. It's similar to famous burek, but not completely the same. There are few versions of it. I will present you my favorite recipe for the gibanica. This version is called 'gužvara'. You may read the recipe in Serbian and in English; so, you may compare and learn some new words besides learning how to make this delicious dish. 


Potrebno Vam je: kore (1 pakovanje), 500 gr belog sira, šolja jogurta, čaša kisele vode, 5 jaja, 2 kašičice soli, decilitar ulja. 
Zagrejte rernu na 200 stepeni. Nauljite tepsiju. Stavite tri kore na dno. 
Pomešajte sir, jogurt, kiselu vodu, 4 jaja, 1,5 kašičicu soli i ulje i napravite kompaktnu smesu. 
Jednu po jednu koru umačite i smesu pa je zgužvajte i ređajte u tepsiju. Na kraju prelijte sve ostatkom smese. Stavite još dve kore preko svega. 
Umutite 1 jaje sa malo ulja i pola kašičice soli. Prelijte gibanicu.
Pecite u rerni oko 35 minuta.
Prijatno! 

You will need: kore (1 package) (I left this Serbian word, because there is no good English alternative; in Serbia ask for 'kore' and in other countries you may also find it in Turkish stores, they call it 'jufka'), 500 gr white cheese, cup of yogurt, glass of mineral water, 5 eggs, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 deciliter of oil.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Take big baking dish and oil it a little bit. Place three kore on the bottom. 
Mix cheese, yogurt, mineral water, 4 eggs, 1,5 teaspoon of salt and oil, and make a compact mixture. 
Take one by one kore, crumple it, immerse it into mixture. Place them next to each other in baking dish. When you finish, pour the remains of mixture over everything. Put 2 kore on the top.
Whisk 1 egg with little bit of salt and oil. Pour that small mixture over gibanica. Then, it is ready for the oven.
Bake it in oven for about 35 minutes.
Enjoy!

Šta će Ana obući? (Comprehension Exercise for Advanced Learners of Serbian Language)

When you learn Serbian online, the main advice is: do as much exercises as you can find.

Look at the picture and read the text carefully. Ana and Milan are talking about her dinner plans and what clothes would be the most appropriate for the evening event. Can you answer the question: What outfit will Ana choose?


Šta će Ana obući?


Milan: Gde ideš večeras?
Ana: Jednom kolegi je rođendan, pa u firmi imamo proslavu.
Milan: U onom restoranu na sedmom spratu?
Ana: Da, tamo.
Milan: Lepo. Da li si odlučila šta ćeš obući?
Ana: Nisam još. Želim da se obučem lepo i da se doteram, ali da ne preterujem. Tako da ništa kratko ili seksi ne dolazi u obzir. 
Milan: Sećam se jednom sam te video u divnoj sivoj haljini. I lepo se slagala uz tvoju frizuru. Nosila si punđu.
Ana: Da, lepa je ta haljina. Ali je previše stroga. Ovo je ipak opušteni događaj - rođendanska žurka. 
Milan: Lepo ti stoji i kosa opušteno začešljana unazad.
Ana: Da, mislim da će to biti moj izbor. I plave kapri pantalone i baletanke. 
Milan: Sjajno zvuči. Jesi li sigurna da nećeš obući kupaći kostim? Mislim da taj restoran ima bazen na terasi.
Ana: Da, sigurna sam. Pogledaj kroz prozor. Pada sneg. 

What outfit will Ana choose?

U martu je rođendan moje najmlađe sestre. Njen rođendan je na dan početka proleća. Počinju dugi dani i toplo vreme. Ptice dolaze sa juga, sleću na naš prozor i pevaju svoje pesme. 
U aprilu je Uskrs. Deca mnogo vole ovaj praznik. Tada baka i deca farbaju jaja i prave kolače.

PREDNOSTI ČASOVA PREKO INTERNETA - THE ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE LESSONS

THE ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE LESSONS


Learning via Skype is not new. For decades people all over the world learn foreign language, how to play an instrument or have business interviews via Skype or via similar tools. Even so, some people are still skeptical about this method. Here are few reasons why Serbian language lessons online might be better solution than other methods. 





1) Learning from home.

To learn new language is not easy and that's why you want to provide the most pleasant conditions for your learning. The most comfortable is learning from your own home.

2) Saving money and time which you would spend on transport.

Language learning lasts at least 6 months and often for several years. Learning Serbian is not an exception. Calculate how much money would you spend on transport to the language school or teacher's house, and back. Saving is not negligible at all.

The same goes for time saving.

3) Online lessons are more effective because they are more direct - those are face to face conversations.

When you have online lesson, the teacher is absolutely focused on student, and the other way around. Contact is direct, face to face. Nothing distracts you.

4) Learning material is free.

Before every lesson, you get lots of learning material to your e-mail (word documents, pictures, links etc.). From that moment, material belongs to you for further use with a Serbian teacher online or independently.

5) Online lessons are more interactive.

You may watch a video and comment with a teacher, you may play language game during lesson or learn Serbian by listening words of popular song. In online lessons we use all the advantages of Internet. Level of interactivity is higher than in other learning methods. As more as your senses are engaged, sooner you will learn Serbian language.

6) Online lessons are individual and adapted to student's needs.

Serbian teacher online has general learning program, which might be adapted to your personal needs. Maybe you need Serbian language for business reasons, or for family reasons, or you want to study in Serbia. Maybe you know basic grammar but your vocabulary is not good enough, or the other way around; maybe you are an absolute beginner. In any of these cases, online lessons offer adequate solution.

7) Terms are flexible.

You may have lessons late at the evening, or early in the morning, or in some other term when is the most convenient for you. You may have steady term, or schedule every lesson individually.

8) Thanks to the Internet, space distance is not important anymore.

If I am the right person for you as a Serbian language teacher, we may have lessons while you are in Canada or Australia, and while I am in Europe or while we both are traveling. Disappearance of space limitations is a huge advantage of the Internet.

PREDNOSTI ČASOVA PREKO INTERNETA

Učenje putem Skajpa nije ništa novo. Već deceniju ljudi širom sveta uče strani jezik, ili sviranje muzičkog instrumenta, ili imaju poslovne intervjue, i još mnogo toga - preko interneta, pomoću Skajpa ili sličnih programa. Ipak, neki su još uvek skeptični prema ovoj metodi i misle da to nije za njih. Evo nekoliko razmišljanja na temu - zašto su časovi srpskog jezika preko interneta bolji od drugih metoda učenja.

1) Učite iz udobnosti sopstvenog doma.

Naučiti nov jezik nije lako i zato želite da obezbedite sebi najprijatnije uslove, a nigde nije komfornije nego u sopstvenom domu.

2) Ušteda vremena i novca koje biste potrošili na prevoz.

Jezik se uči najmanje šest meseci, a često i nekoliko godina. Sračunajte koliko je to novca potrošenog na put do privatnog nastavnika ili škole, i natrag. Ušteda nije nimalo mala.

Isto važi i za utrošeno vreme.

3) Onlajn časovi su efektniji jer su direktni - to je razgovor oči u oči.

Kada imate čas preko Skajpa, nastavnik je maksimalno fokusiran na učenika, i obrnuto. Kontakt je direktan, oči u oči. Ništa ne odvlači Vašu pažnju.

4) Materijal za učenje je besplatan.

Pre svakog časa na svoju imejl adresu dobijete dosta materijala za učenje, koji se sastoji od raznih word dokumenata, slika i linkova. Od tog trenutka materijal pripada Vama, i možete ga kasnije i samostalno koristiti.

5) Onlajn časovi pružaju više interaktivnosti.

Možete gledati i komentarisati sa nastavnikom video na YouTube-u, možete odigrati tokom časa igricu iz gramatike ili učiti jezik uz zvuke i reči neke pesme. Na onlajn časovima koristimo sve prednosti Interneta. Interaktivnost je važan deo onlajn časova, a što su više angažovana Vaša čula - pre ćete naučiti srpski jezik.

6) Onlajn časovi su prilagođeni potrebama učenika.

Nastavnik se pridržava generalnog plana i programa, ali u procesu učenja prilagođava se i Vašim ličnim potrebama. Onlajn časovi su vrlo individualni. Možda Vam je srpski jezik potreban da komunicirate sa porodicom i prijateljima, ili iz poslovnih razloga, ili zbog studiranja u Srbiji. Možda znate osnove gramatike, ali Vam je vokabular slaba strana, ili obrnuto; ili ste možda potpuni početnik. U svakoj od ovih situacija, onlajn časovi pružaju adekvatan odgovor.

7) Termini časova su fleksibilni.

Možete imati časove kasno uveče, rano ujutru, ili u neko drugo doba dana kada Vama najviše odgovara. Možete imati stalni termin svake sedmice, ili zakazivati svaki čas posebno.
8) Zahvaljujući Internetu, prostorna distanca ne postoji.
Ukoliko Vam baš ja odgovaram kao nastavnik srpskog jezika, možemo imati časove dok ste Vi u Kanadi ili Australiji, a ja u Evropi. Jedna od velikih prednosti Interneta je što je ukinuo prostorne granice.
