How Serbian works, where it came from, and what is worth knowing about it before the first lesson.
Russian has an infinitive and uses it constantly. Serbian has one too - and avoids it in exactly the situations where Russian reaches for it, replacing it with a small word, да, and a fully conjugated verb. This is not a quirk of Serbian alone; it is a shared feature of half a dozen unrelated Balkan languages.
Four countries, four official names, one grammar. If you have started learning Serbian and someone tells you it is really the same language as Croatian, they are both right and asking the wrong question.
