New word!
здраво
ZDRAH-voh
hello
What does this mean?
1. Meet it
Every new word comes with audio, how to say it, the forms you will see and an example.
2. Hear it
Pick its meaning, then pick it out by sound alone.
3. Recall it
From English back to Serbian, until you can write it from memory.
4. Use it
In real sentences, both ways. Misses come back a few questions later.
From your first word to B1
The course follows the levels of the Common European Framework (CEFR). Finish one section to open the next. Questions? Read the FAQ.

Mistakes explained
Type idem u škola and you learn why it is idem u školu. Serbian has seven cases, and Beseda teaches them instead of just marking you wrong.
Say every word
Audio for everything, and a pronunciation guide under every new word with the stressed syllable marked, based on dictionary accent marks.
Both alphabets
Switch between Latin and Cyrillic any time and type in either. A short unit teaches you to read Cyrillic, and the Alphabet section keeps you practising reading and writing it. See the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet.
