Growing up and habits: what I used to do and what I did

Everything you need to talk about growing up and family habits in Serbian, in one path. Start with the fine-grained nuances Serbian layers on top of aspect - the iterative that names a repeated act of sitting down, the inchoative за- that marks the moment singing or crying began - the grammar built to keep a childhood habit and the one evening it broke apart, then learn the vocabulary of upbringing, discipline and praise, take five guided lessons that build sentences from a family's own words to a corrected mistake to a memory told in exactly this contrast, listen to a brother and sister trading childhood memories over an old dinner-table rule, read an essay comparing how parents disciplined children then and now, write about a habit from your own childhood and finally repeat a sentence about a restless child.
