Hi Everyone, I decided to just spill the fact that I'm learning Serbo-Croatian, emphasis on the Serbo ;) since I live in Serbia. My level of functioning in Serbian is appallingly low, I haven't taken a class due to financial concerns and I spend too much time speaking English. I'm trying (again) to get very serious about studying the language on my own and with the help of friends. So why don't I go ahead and write a little bit in Serbian so you can see where I'm at (I welcome feedback/corrections from any and all who know Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian etc).
Čitam knjigu zove se -Verujte mi, ja sam prava zloča-. To je knjiga za dece između 8 i 12 godina i mislim je dobro za mene (meni?). Ali su mnogo reći da neznam i tražim u rečniku. A imam knigu grammtiku...znam to teško da veruje.
Yikes! That paragraph was out of my comfort zone. I actually can understand a lot of what I read and a lot of what I hear but my writing/speaking is terrible. Please help me! After that embarrassment I'll try to work up the courage to write a diary entry tomorrow.

I drago mi je, Taiga!
Da, sapedro, možemo da govorimo na srpskom...:)
Ja živim u Srbiji najviše zbog moj muž je Srbin, ali sreli smo u Ameriku kad živili smo tamo.
Juće posetila sam kod dva pensionera ko ne govoriju engleski. Govorili smo samo srpski dva sata i bilo u redu, ali do kralj kazela sam -nemam ukus- ali želila sam da sam kazela -nemam izbor- Ups!
I sad moram da idem i cištim stan, i posle toga učim srpsku gramatiku. !
Do viđenja!

Juće gledala sam 'Miljoner' na televiziji (local version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire). Volim toga zbog vidite tekst na ekranu i imate vremena da gledate na rečniku ako vam treba.
Realizovam danas moju gramatiku knjigu su FSI. Ceo tekst na cirilicom i zbog toga sad mogu da čitam cirilicom lako.
Piću kafu i onda učiću srpski.
Prijatno!

Hi Bojan,
I have a few grammar books I do exercises in, I have a book (fiction) in Serbian that I'm reading (I get lots of new vocabulary from that), I watch TV in Serbian and I speak it when I can...no official 'method' I guess, although my main textbooks are from the Foreign Language Service which I guess is supposed to be good. Hm, I probably should have tried to write that in Serbian but I'm very tired at the moment!

Do you also do that cyrillic letters?
You speak better Serbian then I do, and I am of Slovenian descent.
