Living in Belgrade: The Serbian Language

The Serbian language very much reflects how Serbia still straddles the boundaries between East and West. Although it's complex pronunciations make it a challenging language to learn, this Slavic language uses both the Cyrillic and Latin scripts with many letters written and pronounced as in English. While English is widely spoken in Serbia, to enhance your experience of the country it will be beneficial to learn the basics. Bear in mind that signs, including road signs and virtually everything you see, will be written in a mixture of Cyrillic and Latin, so getting to grips with the alphabet is key.

by Ignatije (Midic), bishop of Branicevo-Pozarevac
