Everything you need to eat, drink and shop in Serbian, in one path. Start with how to ask a question - you cannot order a coffee or haggle over a price without колико - then learn the words for bread, milk, coffee and the rest of what is on every table, read through a whole day of meals from breakfast to supper, sit in on an order at the bakery counter, write down what you eat in a day and finally talk about what you eat, drink and buy.

Every Serbian noun is он, она or оно, and there is no shortcut - you learn it with the word. Start with the rule for telling the three genders apart, meet thirty rooms and household objects sorted across all three, listen to someone describing their own apartment room by room, read about a first walk through a new home, write about the rooms and objects in your own place and read a short description of a room aloud.

Имам is one of the two verbs you cannot avoid in the first week - everything you carry, own, or simply have going on gets named through it. Learn its full present tense, meet thirty things people have (a passport, a dog, a job, a good idea), listen to a traveller checking what is in their bag before a trip, read about someone listing everything they own and don't own, write your own list of belongings and read a short line about what you have aloud.

Saying no politely - to food, to an offer, to a whole sentence - is its own small grammar, and не moves the case of the object along with it. Review the food and drink words you already have, learn how negation reshapes a sentence, listen to a guest at a family lunch turning down dish after dish without ever sounding rude, read about the same situation from the host's side, write about the foods you don't eat and read a firm but polite refusal aloud.

Numbers finish what колико started back at the very first food unit - now you can actually understand the answer. Learn to count and to say a price, review the shops, money and paying words from the shopping list, listen to a morning at the market full of quantities and prices, read about a shopping trip that adds up to more than planned, write your own shopping list with amounts and prices and read a short exchange about a price aloud.

Every noun you've met so far can now take an adjective in front of it - big or small, fast or slow, kind or boring. Learn the gender and number endings adjectives take (and the fleeting a pattern a few of them share with добар), meet forty words for size, temperature, mood and color, listen to someone comparing their hometown to the city they live in now, read a description of a new neighbor and everything about him and his apartment, write about a person you know and read a short description aloud.

Овај, тај and онај let you point at things without naming them again - near me, near you, or far from both of us - and each one changes with the noun's gender the same way an adjective does. Review the shops, prices and payment words from the shopping list, listen to someone choosing a gift between two options at a shop counter, read about a customer trying on shoe after shoe before deciding, write about choosing between two things and read a sentence with all three pronouns aloud.

Your very first real conversation in Serbian, in one path. Start with possessive pronouns - you cannot say my mother or his brother without them - then learn the words for every family member, read who turns up for grandma's birthday and how they are all related, follow two friends working out who is who in an old photograph, introduce four of your own relatives in writing and finally say it all out loud: who you are and who is in your family.

One сто becomes many столови, and the way it changes depends on the noun's gender and its very last sound - the same three genders you sorted rooms and objects into, now doing double duty. Review the household nouns from the gender unit, listen to someone packing a house full of things into boxes for a move, read about a room crammed with far more than one of everything, write about your own belongings using both singular and plural and read a sentence full of plurals aloud.

Everything you need to talk about how you get around in Serbian, in one path. Start with the present tense of ordinary verbs - you cannot say how you get to work, идем, or that you travel every Saturday, путујем, without it - then learn the words for bus, tram, train and ticket, read about packing a suitcase and catching a flight through the whole mechanism of an airport, from the check-in counter to a ten-minute delay at the gate, listen to a dialogue buying a one-way bus ticket at the station counter, write about a flight of your own and finally practice the words yourself: repeat трамвај after the recording and read a sentence about the station aloud.

Everything you can already say about today, moved one day back. Learn the two-part past tense - the auxiliary plus a participle that changes with who is speaking - then meet it in a woman's account of her day off and a man's account of his working day, write your own yesterday and say it aloud. The one habit to break here is Russian: it drops the auxiliary and Serbian never does.

Everything you need to describe your everyday routine in Serbian, in one path. Start with the days of the week - you cannot say you rest on Sunday, у недељу не радим, without them - then learn the words for morning, work, school and sleep, read about a nine-year-old's school day from breakfast to a maths lesson to homework, listen to a phone call where two friends negotiate a time to meet around one of their workdays, write about your own weekend and finally talk about your typical day yourself: what time you get up, what you do at work or school, and what you do in the evening.

You can already ask questions, count and name the days - now put a clock on all of it. Learn how је and су trade places between one o'clock, a few o'clock and five o'clock and up, and why пола шест means half past five and not half past six, meet forty words for hours, minutes, meetings and deadlines, listen to someone talk through a whole overbooked working day, read about a day packed with appointments from breakfast to a late dinner, write out your own weekly schedule and finally say a few sentences about your own day, on time.

Serbian prepositions don't change themselves, but they force a specific ending onto the noun that follows - у Београду for staying, у Београд for going. Learn which preposition takes which ending, meet thirty-four words for the buildings and places a town is made of plus left, right, near and far, listen to someone giving directions around an unfamiliar neighborhood, read a description of where everything in a district actually is, write about your own part of town and finally describe out loud where something is.

Every noun you've used so far has quietly been in the nominative case - the dictionary form, the subject of a sentence. Now meet the idea of case itself, and the one change that matters most at this level: feminine -а nouns swap it for -у the moment they become a direct object. Review thirty core verbs that put objects after them, listen to someone talking through everything they see and do around a new apartment, read a short text built entirely on nominative-versus-accusative pairs, write a few sentences naming things you see and finally say a sentence built the same way.

Short sentences got you this far, but real conversation joins them together - и for adding, а for setting two facts side by side, или for a choice, and a stronger али for a real contrast. Meet да, the word that quietly replaces the infinitive after verbs like желети and морати, plus јер, ако and кад. Review the same thirty verbs from a new angle, listen to someone weighing coffee against tea and one plan against another, read about a friend planning a whole weekend, write your own plans with at least three conjunctions and finally speak a few connected sentences of your own.
