Language: two scripts, two pronunciations, one Serbian
Everything you need to talk about the Serbian language itself in Serbian, in one path. Start with Ekavian and Ijekavian pronunciation - two equally standard forms of the same word that never mix within one sentence - the regional variation every fluent account of Serbian eventually has to explain, then learn the vocabulary of scripts, orthography and dialects, read an essay on why the choice between the two pronunciations reads as a marker of identity rather than a grammar mistake, listen to a live radio debate in which a host and her guest genuinely disagree about English loanwords, write a persuasive essay defending an orthographic or pronunciation choice of your own and finally give your opinion on whether the written standard should track everyday speech.
