Questions

Serbian lessons FAQ

Do I need to speak any Serbian before starting?

Not at all. We teach total beginners through to advanced learners, and every lesson is customised to your level. If you're starting from zero, we begin with the alphabet (including Cyrillic) and the practical phrases you'll use first.

Where do the in-person lessons take place?

We offer in-person sessions in Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Niš. Other cities can be arranged by request. Online lessons are available anywhere, so you can keep learning even when you travel.

Can you teach vocabulary for work or residency?

Yes. Teachers tailor lessons to your relocation goals — including real estate, government offices (such as the MUP), legal terms, and business vocabulary. If you have a specific situation coming up, we prepare you for it.

Do you offer lessons for children?

Yes. We offer engaging Serbian lessons for children aged 5 and up as part of our family packages — helpful for kids of expat families settling into school and local life.

How many lessons are included each month?

All plans include 8 live lessons per month, typically two per week, scheduled around your availability. Both private and small-group plans follow the same monthly structure.

How quickly will I make progress?

It depends on your starting point and how much you practise between lessons, but our Survival Serbian fast track is designed to get new arrivals through the essentials in around four weeks.
