Ko smo mi?

Nevena je diplomirani filolog grčkog jezika i kulture sa Univerziteta u Beogradu. Već godinama predaje srpski i grčki kao strani jezik i trenutno završava master studije.

Jelena je diplomirani pravnik. Studirala je u Francuskoj i predaje srpski i francuski kao strani jezik. Iako je završila pravo, njena najveća ljubav su jezici. Aktivno usavršava italijanski i grčki, a trenutno je na doktorskim studijama u Francuskoj.

Kako i same imamo iskustvo učenja i života u inostranstvu, dobro poznajemo izazove savladavanja novog jezika. Naše profesorsko iskustvo nam je omogućilo da nastavi srpskog pristupimo iz jedinstvene perspektive.

Pridružite nam se na ovom putovanju! Čujemo se!


Welcome to the "Unlock your Serbian" podcast with Nevena and Jelena!

In this unique podcast, we discuss everyday topics relevant for anyone learning Serbian as a foreign language, as well as for those living in Serbia or planning to move.

What makes the podcast special is that it’s designed for everyone – from beginners to advanced learners. Each week you’ll get two episodes on the same topic, but at different levels: A1–B1.1 and B1.2–C1. This way, you can compare native-level conversations, track your progress, and quickly reach an advanced level.

Who are we?

Nevena holds a degree in Greek language and culture from the University of Belgrade. She has years of experience teaching Serbian and Greek as foreign languages and is currently completing her master’s studies.

Jelena is a law graduate who studied in France. She has been teaching Serbian and French as foreign languages for many years. Although her degree is in law, her first passion is languages. She is improving her Italian and Greek skills and currently pursuing a PhD in France.

Since we have both experienced learning and living in foreign languages, we understand the challenges learners face. Our teaching experience has given us a unique perspective on Serbian language instruction.

Join us on this journey! See you!

Nevena (00:02) I dobrodošli u novu epizodu Unlock Your Serbian sa Jelenom i Nevenom. and welcome to a new episode of Unlock Your Serbian with Jelena and Nevena. Jelena (00:07) Tako je, dobrodošli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i mi danas govorimo o novom početku. Novi početak je, na primer, u septembru, novi početak je kada je Nova godina...Novi početak je ponekad takođe rođendan. Mi danas razgovaramo o tome šta je za nas i kada je za nas novi početak. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we're talking about a new beginning. A new beginning is, for example, in September, a new beginning is when it's New Year... A new beginning is sometimes also a birthday. Today we're talking about what a new beginning is for us and when it is for us. Nevena (00:36) Kada kažemo početak, ova reč je malo drugačija. Dakle, jedan početak ali množina je počeci. Dakle, ova reč zvuči drugačije kada kažemo počeci. I za mene je uvek prva asociacija septembar. Za mene je uvek novi početak ili za mene su uvek novi počeci u septembru. When we say "početak" (beginning), this word is a bit different. So, one "početak" but the plural is "počeci." So this word sounds different when we say "počeci." And for me the first association is always September. For me it's always a new beginning, or for me there are always new beginnings in September.

Today we want to talk about this and see when a new beginning is for us. Nevena (00:35) Ovo je sada i odlično što si spomenula prvo septembar, zato što, na primer, meni je uvek septembar asociacija, dakle prva asociacija kada govorim o novim počecima. Mislim da je možda ovo ostalo iz perioda škole, iz perioda fakulteta. It's great that you mentioned September first, because, for example, September is always an association for me, the first association when I talk about new beginnings. I think this might have stayed from school, from university. Become a member to read the whole transcript! Send us your questions!

    Navike i rutina - beginner (A1-B1.1)

    Danas razgovaramo o svakodnevnoj rutini i navikama – da li su one dobre ili loše za nas? Pričamo o našim lošim navikama, na primer kada radimo previše ili provodimo mnogo vremena na telefonu. Ali razgovaramo i o lepim hobijima koji nas usrećuju, kao što su pisanje i učenje novih jezika. Takođe, delimo iskustva o tome kako pronalazimo motivaciju za promene i kako izlazimo iz zone komfora. Podsetnik: Sledeće nedelje pravimo kratku pauzu zbog odmora, a ponovo se čujemo 17. avgusta!

Nevena (00:30) Tako je, danas razgovaramo o ovoj temi zato što je ona važna za nas sada. I ja, prošlih meseci, sada je avgust, ali ja sam u julu, junu i maju razmišljala da moram da promenim rutinu. Dakle, moram sada da imam novu rutinu. That's right, today we are talking about this topic because it is important for us now. And I, in recent months, now it's August, but in July, June, and May I was thinking that I have to change my routine. So, I need to have a new routine now.

    Navike i rutina - advanced (B1.2-C1)

    Danas razgovaramo o svakodnevnoj rutini i navikama i o tome da li su nam one prijatelj ili neprijatelj. Delimo iskustva o tome kako se borimo sa lošim navikama poput stalnog rada i „doomskrolovanja”, ali i kako se vraćamo hobijima koji nas pokreću, poput pisanja i učenja jezika. Razgovaramo i o izlasku iz zone komfora i važnosti motivacije. Podsećamo vas i da sledeće nedelje pravimo kratku pauzu zbog odmor, i vidimo se opet 17. avgusta!

That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about routine. Is it a friend to us or is it an enemy, and should we change some habits. Nevena (00:24) Ovo je tema o kojoj me mnogo razmišljam u poslednje vreme zato što mislim da sam zapala u jednu jako lošu rutinu, gde mi se sve vrti oko komputera i uglavnom oko nekog posla i tako dalje i razmišljam ja, generalno kao osoba koja ima toliko hobija i koja voli da uči nove stvari, voli da isprobava nove stvari i tako dalje, osećam kako mi pod hitno treba promena. This is a topic I think about a lot lately because I think I've fallen into a really bad routine, where everything revolves around the computer and mostly around some work and so on, and I'm thinking, generally as a person who has so many hobbies and who likes to learn new things, likes to try out new things and so on, I feel like I urgently need a change.

    Kultura u Srbiji - beginner (A1-B1.1)

    U ovoj epizodi razgovaramo o kulturi u Srbiji, a najviše o pozorištima i muzejima u Beogradu. Govorimo o našim iskustvima i objašnjavamo zašto je u Beogradu često teško kupiti kartu za pozorište. Takođe, pričamo zašto su predstave odlične za učenje srpskog jezika, čak i ako razumete priču samo kroz govor tela i izraz lica. U drugom delu epizode govorimo o beogradskim muzejima. Razgovaramo o lepoj umetnosti u Narodnom muzeju na Trgu republike, ali i o Istorijskom muzeju koji se nalazi u prelepom Topčiderskom parku.

Jelena (00:10) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i mi danas razgovaramo o kulturi i o umetnosti u Srbiji. Da li je kultura i da li je umetnost važna u Srbiji? That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about culture and art in Serbia. Is culture and is art important in Serbia? Nevena (00:27) Da, ovo je bila tvoja ideja, Jelena. Ti si želela danas da razgovaramo o kulturi u Srbiji. I kada ja razmišljam o kulturi, moja prva asociacija, dakle prvo što vidim kada razmišljam o kulturi, jeste pozorište. U Beogradu imamo mnogo pozorišta i mnogo ljudi ide u pozorišta. Yes, this was your idea, Jelena. You wanted us to talk about culture in Serbia today. And when I think about culture, my first association, that is, the first thing I see when I think about culture, is the theater. In Belgrade we have many theaters and many people go to theaters. Dakle, ako želimo kartu za jednu predstavu u pozorištu, moramo da kupimo kartu jedan mesec unapred. Dakle, jedan mesec pre predstave. So, if we want a ticket for a play in the theater, we have to buy a ticket one month in advance. That is, one month before the play. Send us your questions!

    Kultura u Srbiji - advanced (B1.2-C1)

    Danas razgovaramo o kulturi u Srbiji i njenom mestu u društvu, sa posebnim fokusom na pozorišta i muzeje u Beogradu. Delimo sa vama naša lična iskustva i otkrivamo zašto je kupovina pozorišnih karata u Beogradu pravi izazov, kao i zašto je gledanje predstava odličan način za učenje srpskog jezika, čak i ako pratite radnju uglavnom kroz mimiku i govor tela. U drugom delu epizode vodimo vas kroz beogradske muzeje. Pričamo o bogatoj umetničkoj zbirci Narodnog muzeja na Trgu republike, ali i o zanimljivostima Istorijskog muzeja, čija se glavna zgrada sa originalnim eksponatima nalazi u prelepom Topčiderskom parku.

Jelena (00:10) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i mi danas razgovaramo o kulturi. Hoćemo da razgovaramo o tome da li je kultura važna u Srbiji i koje je njeno mesto u društvu generalno. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about culture. We want to talk about whether culture is important in Serbia and what its place is in society in general. Nevena (00:28) Da, ovo je jedna tema koju je Jelena predložila i ti si odmah rekla da je ovo jako široka tema, dakle možemo u njoj da razgovaramo iz mnogo uglova. I meni je definitivno prva asociacija bila razgovor o pozorištima. Zato što kada razmišljamo kulturi, nekako uvek pomislim na predstave, na pozorišta i na taj jedan aspekt zabave. Zato što je zaista mnogo drugačiji od toga kada idemo u bioskop. Yes, this is a topic that Jelena suggested and you immediately said that this is a very broad topic, so we can talk about it from many angles. And for me, the first association was definitely a conversation about theaters. Because when we think about culture, somehow I always think of plays, of theaters, and of that one aspect of entertainment. Because it really is very different from when we go to the cinema. I rekla bih da zapravo ima mnogo ljudi koji idu redovno u pozorišta i to vidimo ako želimo, na primer, da kupimo kartu. I u Beogradu je to tako da, u principu, čekamo kraj meseca, da pozorišta izbace repertoar za sledeći mesec i moramo da budemo jako brzi da bi smo uspili da kupimo kartu, pogotovo za popularne predstave, dakle predstave koje su u tom trenutku najposećenije. And I would say that there are actually many people who go to theaters regularly and we see that if we want, for example, to buy a ticket. And in Belgrade it's like that, in principle, we wait for the end of the month for theaters to release the repertoire for the next month and we have to be very fast so that we manage to buy a ticket, especially for popular plays, that is, plays that are the most visited at that moment.

    Da li je tišina okej za Srbe? - beginner (A1-B1.1)

    U današnjoj epizodi pričamo o jednoj zanimljivoj temi – o tišini i o tome zašto je lepo kada smo sami. Retko imamo vreme da ćutimo i da ne radimo ništa, i zato nam mnogo fali tišina. U ovoj epizodi pričamo zašto volimo da provodimo vreme same sa sobom i da uživamo u miru. Takođe, pričamo o mentalitetu u Srbiji. Ljudi ovde često ne razumeju zašto neko želi da bude sam. Delimo smešne priče iz Beograda kada nam nepoznati ljudi prilaze na ulici ili u kafiću. Oni se čude i misle da smo tužne ili usamljene samo zato što sedimo same.

Jelena (00:09) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta. I mi danas razgovaramo o tišini. Tišina je kada ne govorimo ništa, kada ne pričamo ni sa kim, kada samo ćutimo. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast. And today we are talking about silence. Silence is when we don't say anything, when we don't talk to anyone, when we are just silent. Dakle, kada ne govorimo. Zašto, Nevena, želimo da razgovaramo o tišini danas? So, when we don't speak. Why do we want to talk about silence today, Nevena? Nevena (00:33) Tišina je danas u moderno vreme jedan luksuz. Dakle, ja mislim da je luksuz da ne moramo da razgovaramo, da ne moramo da slušamo i generalno da smo sami sa svojim mislima. Silence is a luxury in modern times today. So, I think it is a luxury that we don't have to talk, that we don't have to listen, and generally that we are alone with our thoughts. Dakle, da možemo samo da slušamo šta je u našoj glavi, šta mi mislimo, šta se dešava i tako dalje. So that we can just listen to what is in our head, what we think, what is happening and so on.

    Da li je tišina okej za Srbe? - advanced (B1.2-C1)

    U današnjoj epizodi razgovaramo o jednoj neobičnoj temi – tišini, ćutanju i samoći. Zbog prirode našeg posla, shvatile smo da retko imamo luksuz da jednostavno ćutimo i ne radimo ništa. Zato u ovoj epizodi delimo koliko nam fali tišina i zašto volimo da provodimo vreme same sa sobom. Takođe, analiziramo specifičan društveni fenomen i mentalitet u Srbiji, gde ljudi često ne razumeju potrebu za samoćom. Prepričavamo smešne situacije iz Beograda kada nam nepoznati ljudi prilaze jer misle da smo usamljene, čude se što sedimo same.

Jelena (00:08) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast. I danas imamo jednu veoma zanimljivu, možda čak i malo čudnu temu, zato što danas hoćemo da razgovaramo o tišini. Zašto Nevena hoćemo da razgovaramo o tišini? And today we have a very interesting, maybe even a bit strange topic, because today we want to talk about silence. Why do we want to talk about silence, Nevena? Nevena (00:28) Baš smo se sada smejale pre nego što smo počele da snimamo ovu epizodu. Zato što smo ustanovile, dakle, shvatile smo da ti i ja retko kada imamo tu priliku ili imamo taj luksuz da ćutimo. We were just laughing right now before we started recording this episode. Because we established, meaning, we realized that you and I rarely have that opportunity or have that luxury to be silent. Baš zbog prirode našeg posla, gde mi razgovaramo sa ljudima i onda snimamo podkast itd. Precisely because of the nature of our job, where we talk to people and then we record the podcast etc. Tako da je tišina nešto što je veoma dragoceno za nas i nešto o čemu ja mislim da maštam više nego o nekim drugim normalnim stvarima. So silence is something that is very precious to us and something that I think I dream about more than about some other normal things. Become a member to unlock the whole transcript!

    Burnout ili sagorevanje - beginner (A1-B1.1)

    Danas razgovaramo o umoru i stresu na poslu, to jest o burn-out-u. Pošto Jelena i ja radimo na internetu, po ceo dan gledamo u ekran kompjutera i telefona. Zbog toga smo često veoma umorne. U ovoj epizodi pričamo o tome zašto nam je posle celog dana na internetu teško da komuniciramo sa ljudima uživo i zašto nam najviše prija tišina. Takođe, pričamo i o svakodnevnim obavezama odraslih ljudi, kao što su stalno kuvanje i plaćanje računa, koje nas isto tako umaraju.

Jelena (00:08) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i danas razgovaramo o burnoutu. That’s right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about burnout. Nevena, kako možemo da kažemo na srpskom burnout? Nevena, how can we say burnout in Serbian? Nevena (00:20) Kada govorimo o ovome, mi možemo da kažemo pregorevanje, sagorevanje ili možemo da kažemo ja sam pregorela. When we talk about this, we can say "pregorevanje" (burning out), "sagorevanje" (burnout/combustion) or we can say "ja sam pregorela" (I am burnt out). I to znači da ja sada nisam dobro zato što sam mnogo radila ili zato što imam mnogo obaveza, imam mnogo poslova i mnogo stvari koje moram da uradim. And that means that I am not well right now because I've worked a lot or because I have a lot of obligations, I have a lot of jobs and a lot of things that I have to do. Jelena (00:47) Tako je, kada mnogo radimo, kada imamo previše posla, možemo da osetimo da se ne osećamo dobro. Možemo da vidimo da imamo neki problem. That's right, when we work a lot, when we have too much work, we can feel that we are not feeling well. We can see that we have a problem. Become a member to unlock the whole transcript!

    Burnout ili sagorevanje - advanced (B1.2-C1)

    U današnjoj epizodi razgovaramo o jednoj veoma aktuelnoj temi sa kojom se mnogi suočavaju – burn-out-u, odnosno profesionalnom pregorevanju. S obzirom da obe radimo onlajn i živimo u hiperkonektovanom svetu, često osećamo pritisak da stalno budemo dostupne i krivicu kada sebi dozvolimo da se „isključimo”. Zato danas delimo naša lična iskustva o tome kako konstantan rad ispred ekrana utiče na nas i zašto nam, nakon celog dana na internetu, stvarni svet i kontakt sa ljudima uživo postaju preopterećujući. Nadamo se da će vam naša iskustva pomoći da i sami prepoznate ove znakove i usporite na vreme. Kao i uvek, na našem Patreonu vas čekaju kompletni transkripti, gramatičke vežbe, liste korisnog vokabulara i pristup našoj sjajnoj Discord zajednici gde svakodnevno komuniciramo na srpskom!

Nevena (00:03) I dobro došli u novu epizodu Unlock Your Serbian sa Jelenom i Nevenom. And welcome to a new episode of Unlock Your Serbian with Jelena and Nevena. Jelena (00:08) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta. I danas razgovaramo o burn-out-u. Ili kako bi smo ovo mogli da prevedemo na srpski. Možda sagorevanje ili profesionalno sagorevanje, u svakom slučaju nešto što je često vezano za posao, kada moramo mnogo da radimo. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast. And today we are talking about burn-out. Or how we could translate this into Serbian. Maybe burnout or professional burnout, in any case something that is often connected to work, when we have to work a lot. I možda, ponekad možemo da kažemo pregoreo sam. Or maybe, sometimes we can say I'm burnt out. Nevena (00:36) Da, kada si rekla sagorevanje, ja mislim da bih ja pre rekla pregorevanje ili da bih pre iskoristila taj pridev, pregorela sam, nego što bih iskoristila neku imenicu. Yes, when you said burnout, I think I would rather say burning out, or I would sooner use that adjective "I am burnt out" than I would use a noun. I da, ovo je definitivno nešto što sigurno nije fenomen modernog doba, dakle sigurno nije nešto što postoji samo u poslednjih 10, 20, 30 godina, ali mislim da se oblik dosta promenio zato što sada imam osećaj da nam nije dozvoljeno da se isključimo dakle, nije dozvoljeno da ne radimo ili da ne razmišljamo o poslu ili generalno da nismo dostupni i mislim da je to najgore od svega. And yes, this is definitely something that is certainly not a phenomenon of the modern age, meaning it's certainly not something that has existed only in the last 10, 20, 30 years, but I think the form has changed a lot because now I have a feeling that we are not allowed to switch off, meaning, it's not allowed not to work or not to think about work, or generally not to be available, and I think that's the worst thing of all.

    Sport i Srbija - beginner (A1-B1.1)

    Danas razgovaramo o sportu u Srbiji. Nismo stručnjaci ali znamo da je sport veoma važan za srpsku kulturu i društvo. Pričamo o tome kako ljudi reaguju kada naši timovi pobeđuju ili gube. Kada pobeđujemo, svi su srećni i vole sportiste, ali kada gubimo, ljudi se brzo naljute i govore loše stvari. Pominjemo fudbal, košarku i tenis, gde svi ponosno prate uspehe Novaka Đokovića. Takođe, objašnjavamo veliku podelu u Srbiji između dva najveća kluba: Crvene zvezde i Partizana. Njihovi navijači se zovu Delije i Grobari. Ova ljubav prema klubu često počinje još u detinjstvu zbog roditelja, a njihove utakmice donose mnogo strasti i gužve u Beogradu.

That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about sports. Is sport important in Serbia and which sport do we love in Serbia? Nevena (00:20) Kada smo razgovarale o temi sport, mi nismo znale da li smo mi dobre osobe za razgovor o sportu. Dakle, nismo znale da li smo mi pravi ili dobar izbor za razgovor o sportu. When we were talking about the topic of sports, we didn't know if we were the right people to talk about sports. Meaning, we didn't know if we were the right or a good choice to talk about sports. Ali generalno, sport je jako važan u Srbije i ima jedan socijalni faktor. But generally, sport is very important in Serbia and has a social factor. Become a member to unlock the whole transcript!

    Sport i Srbija - advanced (B1.2-C1)

    Iako nismo stručnjaci za sport, svesne smo koliko je on važan u srpskoj kulturi i mentalitetu. Danas razgovaramo o tome kako sportska takmičenja predstavljaju ključan društveni momenat koji spaja ljude, i kako otkrivaju neke specifične osobine Srba. Analiziramo fenomen koji često postaje sa licemeran i dvoličan: zašto se u Srbiji kunemo u naše sportiste kada pobeđuju, dok ih surovo kritikujemo čim izgube? Pored tenisa i uspeha Novaka Đokovića, posebnu pažnju posvećujemo večitoj i prilično radikalnoj podeli između navijača Crvene zvezde i Partizana – Delija i Grobara. Razgovaramo o tome kako ova strast počinje još u detinjstvu pod uticajem roditelja i kakav haos nastaje u Beogradu tokom čuvenog večitog derbija. Na kraju, delimo i naše lične porodične simpatije prema ovim klubovima. Listen to the longer version (46 minutes) & read the transcript with English translations by becoming a member!

Da li je sport važan za Srbe i koji sport Srbi najviše vole? Is sport important for Serbs and which sport do Serbs love the most? Nevena (00:21) Ovo je jedna tema o kojoj smo dugo razmišljale da li treba da je radimo ili ne, zato što ni ti ni ja nismo eksperti kada je sport u pitanju, ali je definitivno sport jako važan u srpskoj kulturi i generalno ljudi u Srbiji vole da gledaju i futbal, i košarku, i vaterpolo, i tenis i generalno je ovo jedan važan socijalni moment. This is a topic we thought for a long time whether we should do it or not, because neither you nor I are experts when it comes to sports, but sports are definitely very important in Serbian culture and generally people in Serbia love to watch football, and basketball, and water polo, and tennis, and generally this is an important social moment. Zato što mislim da mnogi ljudi čekaju da se održi neka utakmica, čekaju da izađu sa prijateljima, da piju pivo, da razgovaraju, da se ljute ili da se vesele i tako dalje. Because I think that many people wait for a match to take place, they wait to go out with friends, to drink beer, to talk, to get angry or to rejoice and so on.

Takođe, delimo naša mišljenja o letu u Beogradu, o lepim večernjim šetnjama na Kalemegdanu i o tome kako se krijemo pod klimom kada je napolju pretoplo.

    Leto i letnji odmor u Srbiji - advanced (B1.2-C1)

    Danas imamo veoma posebnu epizodu jer po prvi put snimamo uživo zajedno iz iste prostorije, i to u Grčkoj! Tema našeg razgovora je letnji odmor i navike Srba tokom leta. Objašnjavamo zašto mi ne putujemo samo u avgustu, već planiramo odmore tokom celog leta, i zašto su sever Grčke i poluostrvo Halkidiki toliko popularni da tamo često važi čuvena izreka „Pričaj srpski da te ceo svet razume“. Takođe, upoređujemo more i planinu, komentarišemo masovnu gradnju zgrada u Bečićima i na Zlatiboru, ali govorimo i sve najbolje o još uvek očuvanoj prirodi Rtnja i Stare planine. Ne zaboravljamo ni specifičnu atmosferu leta u Beogradu, uživanje na Kosančićevom vencu i opuštanje na Kalemegdanu uz pogled na ušće reka.

Jelena (00:07) Tako je, dobro došli u još jedno epizodu našeg podkasta i danas razgovaramo o letnjem odmoru. Dakle, šta Srbi rade kada je leto, gde vole da putuju i da li vole da putuju? So, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about summer vacation. So, what do Serbs do when it's summer, where do they like to travel, and do they like to travel? Nevena (00:22) Mislim da samo treba da kažemo da je ovo jedna vemo posebna epizoda zato što je Jelena sada u Grčkoj, kod mene u stanu i mi sada snimamo zajedno uživo ovaj podkast. I ovo je prvi put da mi snimamo zapravo uživo podkast. I think we just need to say that this is a very special episode because Jelena is now in Greece, in my apartment, and we are recording this podcast together live right now. And this is the first time that we are actually recording a live podcast. I ovde imamo jedan čitav setup, dakle imamo dva mikrofona, imamo kameru, imamo sve tako da mislim da će ovo biti možda i najkvalitetniji video do sada i nadamo se da ćemo uspeti da se koncentrišamo i da odradimo ovo u epizodu kako treba. And here we have a whole setup, meaning we have two microphones, we have a camera, we have everything, so I think this will be perhaps the highest quality video so far and we hope that we will manage to concentrate and do this episode properly. Jelena (00:54) Prvi put da snimamo zajedno u iste prostoriji. Veoma je čudno, zapravo interesantno je. The first time we are recording together in the same room. It's very strange, actually it's interesting. Become a member to unlock the whole transcript! Send us your questions!

    Slava, matura, jezici - Vaša pitanja, advanced (B1.2-C1)

    Dobro došli u novu, specijalnu epizodu našeg podkasta Unlock Your Serbian! Ovog puta odgovaramo na pitanja naših članova sa Patreona i bavimo se veoma zanimljivim tradicijama u Srbiji. Prvo detaljno objašnjavamo šta treba da radite i kako da se ponašate kada vas neko pozove na slavu. Otkrivamo zašto je ovaj poziv znak velikog poštovanja i šta vas sve čeka – od običaja uzimanja žita na samom ulazu, preko specifičnosti posnih slava koje padaju u sredu ili petak, pa sve do uživanja u tradicionalnom špriceru. Druga tema su mature, fenomen koji u Srbiji obeležavamo čak dva puta: nakon osnovne i nakon srednje škole. Razgovaramo o finansijskom i društvenom pritisku koji tinejdžeri osećaju zbog izbora svečane garderobe i šminke, ali i o lepšoj strani ovih ceremonija koje simbolizuju kraj jednog važnog životnog poglavlja.

Jelena (00:08) Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i danas je jedna specialna epizoda, zato što danas odgovaramo na vaša pitanja. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today is a special episode, because today we are answering your questions. Dakle, danas odgovaramo na pitanja naših članova na Patreonu, a u nekoj drugoj epizodi ćemo odgovarati na pitanja svih vas koji nas slušate. So, today we are answering questions from our Patreon members, and in some other episode, we will answer questions from all of you who listen to us. Nevena (00:33) Dakle, naši članovi su imali priliku da nas pitaju sve što su želeli, da nam pošalju svoje komentare itd. I svakako želimo, kao što si i ti Jelena spomenula, u jednoj od narednih epizoda da čujemo i vaša mišljenja, da čujemo vaša pitanja i da posvetimo još jednu epizodu o tome. So, our members had the opportunity to ask us everything they wanted, to send us their comments, etc. And we certainly want, as you also mentioned Jelena, in one of the upcoming episodes to hear your opinions too, to hear your questions, and to dedicate another episode to that. Jedno od prvih pitanja koje smo dobile jeste bila slava. Sada verujemo da svi uglavnom ste čuli za ovaj pojam, znate otprilike šta znači i možda znate otprilike kako slavimo slavu u Srbiji, a mi danas želimo da razgovaramo kako vi treba da se postavite, dakle šta vi treba da radite kada vas neko pozove na svoju slavu. One of the first questions we received was about slava. Now we believe that most of you have probably heard of this concept, know roughly what it means, and maybe know roughly how we celebrate slava in Serbia, but today we want to talk about how you should position yourself–meaning, what you should do when someone invites you to their slava.

    Dobro došli u novu, specijalnu epizodu podkasta Unlock Your Serbian! Danas odgovaramo na pitanja naših članova sa Patreona o srpskim tradicijama. Prvo pričamo o slavi i objašnjavamo šta treba da radite ako vas prijatelj pozove u goste. To znači da ste mu veoma važni, a mi vam otkrivamo kako izgleda običaj sa žitom na ulazu, zašto se sredom i petkom jede riba na posnoj slavi i šta je to popularno piće špricer. Druga tema u ovoj epizodi su mature, koje u Srbiji slavimo dva puta – posle osnovne i posle srednje škole. Razgovaramo o stresu i velikim troškovima zbog kupovine skupih haljina, odela i šminke, ali i o lepoj strani ove proslave, jer tako na lep način završavamo školu i družimo se sa celom generacijom.

That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast, and today is a special episode. Today we are answering your questions. Nevena (00:22) Naši članovi na Patreonu su nas pitali za slavu, za maturu, za učenje jezika i mi želimo danas da razgovaramo o ovim temama. Our members on Patreon asked us about "slava", graduation, language learning, and today we want to talk about these topics. Jelena (00:36) Naše prvo pitanje je za slavu u Srbiji. Kako slavimo slavu i šta da vi radite ako ste gost na slavi kod nekoga iz Srbije? Our first question is about "slava" in Serbia. How do we celebrate slava, and what should you do if you are a guest at someone's slava in Serbia? Prvo, treba da znate da ako ste gost na srpskoj slavi, to znači da ste vi važni za vaše prijatelje. First, you should know that if you are a guest at a Serbian slava, it means that you are important to your friends. U Beogradu, slavu često slavimo u stanu, kod kuće i ako nemamo veliki stan, ili ako nemamo veliku kuću, ne možemo da imamo puno prijatelja kod kuće na slavi. Često u Beogradu imamo 15 ili 20 ljudi maksimum na slavi i ako ste vi gost na ovoj slavi, to znači da ste važni za vaše prijatelje. In Belgrade, we often celebrate slava in an apartment, at home and if we don't have a big apartment, or if we don't have a big house, we cannot have a lot of friends at home for slava. Often in Belgrade, we have 15 or 20 people maximum at a slava, and if you are a guest at this slava, it means that you are important to your friends. Send us your questions!
