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!
