Listening

A traveler buys a one-way bus ticket to Niš at the station counter, asks about the departure time and platform, and finds out luggage is free up to twenty kilograms. Where the traffic bulletin is an announcer's monologue about a line that is out, this one is the ticket-counter transaction itself - one-way or return, a departure time, a platform, a three-figure price.

Milica looks at an old photograph and asks Pavle who each person is; he names his mother, father, sister and grandparents, and explains why his uncle is missing from the picture. Where the Sunday monologue describes one family from the inside, this dialogue makes you follow questions and answers about people you cannot see.

Ana calls her friend Marko to invite him for coffee; Marko is still at work until five and has the gym at six, so they agree to meet in the evening instead. Where the morning story is one teacher's monologue about her own routine, this dialogue is two people negotiating around each other's routines in real time.

A guest orders coffee and water, asks the price and pays by card. Everyday café phrases, the polite молим вас request, and prices said as words rather than digits.

A customer orders burek and yoghurt in a bakery, turns down the meat filling, adds bread and pays cash. Where the café dialogue is about drinks, this one is about food: choosing between fillings and sizes, refusing an offer politely, and a three-figure price said as words.

A customer buys bread, milk and cheese, pays cash and asks for a bag. Shop phrases, the „бели или црни?“ either-or question, and a price said as words.
