Breakfast, playground, bedtime story. The phrases children actually say.

In Serbian?

Don't worry, I'm here.

Не брини, ту сам.

Family and childrenReviewed phrase

Every phrase comes in both scripts: Latin, as you type it, and Cyrillic, as it stands on the street sign.

How a round works

  1. You see the phrase in English."Five more minutes." Exactly as you need it.
  2. You say it in Serbian.Out loud, not in your head. That is the whole trick.
  3. You reveal and grade yourself honestly.Didn't know, knew it, or easy. Three buttons, no points.
  4. The phrase comes back.Just before you would forget it, not earlier and not later.

To be honest

Access by invitation only.

Speak Serbian is a beta among friends. You leave your address, I get in touch when there is a place.

No tracking.

No ads, no analytics, no cookie banner. Only what keeps you signed in.

One person.

No team, no support centre. But someone who has needed every phrase himself.

Why this exists

I live with my family in Sombor. No textbook had what is actually said on the pitch, at the table or in the kafana. So I started writing down the phrases I hear.

Speak Serbian shows them to me again just before I forget them. If that sounds familiar, the app might be for you too.
