Learn Serbian by reading real Serbian
Serbian is written in both Cyrillic and Latin letters, and ContextCat reads both. Read N1, Danas or Vreme and tap any word to see what it means in that sentence, in your own language.
Састанак се одужио, па сам закаснио на воз.
закаснио verb, past, masculine
was late (from закаснити)
Закаснити на воз, to be late for the train, is how Serbian says to miss it. The -о ending shows that the speaker is a man.
What to read in Serbian
Today, the daily edition, has headlines from Serbian outlets, including N1 Srbija, Danas, Nedeljnik, Nova, Vreme and Startit. Open one and the article opens in the reader, where every word can be tapped.
Most of the Serbian outlets on Today write in Latin letters.
The Store has no Serbian books yet. Books there are in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
You can also bring your own Serbian: import a PDF, save a link to a web article, or paste text. Whatever you read, it stays in Serbian, and help appears only where you ask for it.
How a tap helps
The word turns bold and a note opens under its sentence with the meaning it has here, in your own language. Word analysis gives the root and the form. Select a few words or a sentence to translate just that part.
Every word you tap is saved with its sentence and comes back as a card, at longer and longer gaps, until you know it. Listen reads books, PDFs and your texts aloud in a natural Serbian voice, sentence by sentence.
Is it right for you?
ContextCat works best once you know enough Serbian to follow a simple text and want to read more of it. If you are starting from zero, begin with a course, and come back when short texts feel within reach. The guides have ideas on where to start.
