Conversations and stories: word order

Everything a real conversation needs, in one path. Start with enclitics - the short words that queue in a fixed order no matter how freely everything else in the sentence moves, and the one genuine collision worth memorizing, се dropping је - then learn thirty-four words for everyday talk and storytelling, five guided lessons that build sentences from a single enclitic in second position to the full dative-accusative-је chain and correct the mistakes that chain invites, listen to a friend recount a chance encounter down the phone at full speed, read about a story that barely survives two retellings, write your own account of something unexpected and finally describe your typical day out loud.
