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!
