Orthography: capitalization, transcription and the hyphen vs. the dash

Everything you need to write correctly-formed Serbian the way a careful editor actually does, in one path. Start with the three high-value corners of Правопис - capitalizing a multi-word name, transcribing a foreign word phonetically, and telling a hyphen from a dash by its spacing - then learn the vocabulary of capital letters, transcription and punctuation marks, take seven guided lessons that build from each rule's own words to correcting the traps a learner makes, listen to a journalist and a linguist discuss how strict the written norm actually is, read a short column following a copy editor through one morning's dilemmas, write an essay about Serbian's two scripts capitalizing at least one institutional name correctly, and finally say the word for orthography aloud and repeat a sentence that sets off its own parenthetical with a dash.

The path
