Put it to work

Read your first Serbian text

After two or three lessons you can already read real (graded) Serbian — short stories with audio, tap-to-translate sentences, and a word list to keep. Reading is how lessons turn into a language.

How to use this path

  • Read, then practice. Each lesson ends with a practice button — ten exercises, instantly checked, mixed fresh every time.
  • Come back daily.Practice sessions automatically bring back what you got wrong, so yesterday’s mistakes become today’s wins.
  • Don’t aim for perfection. 80% accuracy is the sweet spot — if you score higher, move on to the next lesson.
  • Track yourself. The first three lessons work without an account; after that, a free account keeps your progress and streaks safe across devices.
