Ćao svima, Today we are going to share some tips for adapting to living abroad in a short dialogue in Serbian. After having the dialogue in Serbian, we will switch to English and go over the vocabulary and expressions in detail. Here is the dialogue: Ivana: Veoma je teško napustiti svoju zemlju i živeti u drugoj zemlji. Maki: Ali to je prilika da se poboljšaju i nauče nove stvari. Ivana: Šta misliš da je najbolji način da se prilagodiš novoj zemlji? Maki: Imam par saveta. Početi sve ispočetka. Reći “da” svim prilikama koje se pružaju. Nauči jezik svoje nove zemlje. Ivana: Slažem se. Ja bih još dodala da je najbolji način da naučiš o životu u novoj zemlji da proučavaš ponašanje ljudi oko sebe. Maki: Da, obavezno. Ivana: Ti si dobar primer ove teme, Maki. Svaka čast. What do you think are the best ways to adapt to a new life abroad? Please share your advice, experiences and ideas in the comments. Veliki pozdrav, Maki i Ivana M.

Dobar dan svima, We are happy to share some fun and useful phrases that exist only in Serbian. We got this idea from Maja Stojanović's book called 'Kod Nas Se Kaže' (We Tend to Say).  Did you know that if Serbians find a person very kind, they want to spread him/her on bread? Or can you find any similarity between a serious person and a peeing pig? If you would like to learn more, listen to our final episode of Season 6 and enjoy. Nadamo se da ćete uživati i učiti srpski sa nama.
