Looking for Serbian language tutor

[oulv]

Hello,

I have interests in learning Serbian language. I live in Helsinki. I want to hire a Serbian language tutor to start learning the language. I prefer the tutor has teaching background. In one year, I should be able to speak and read to the business level.

I have Serbian friends so that I wish learning the language.

I know Helsinki University offers the course. It seems very slow...

In case you may have interests please leave me message oulv.international@gmail.com

Having been there and done that in terms of Slovene which is similar to but of course not the same as Serbian, unless you are a linguistic genius, you can forget learning Serbian to business level in one year. Particularly as you live outside Serbia - if you are a language whizz, you MIGHT be able to do it by being immersed in the language, but a tutor once or twice a week - no way. Trust me on this one, I'm pretty good with languages and Slovene took one year of being immersed in it to be able to have basic conversations and to manage daily life (shop, bank etc.), and Slovene is only slightly more complicated than Serbian due to the "dual" aspect which they love and adore and a few other bits and pieces. Note to Slovenes reading: not suggesting Slovene is the same as Serbian, just in terms of the complexity of learning it, they are more or less equal, whereas Hungarian say, would be more difficult than Slovene or Serbian.

It is Serbo-Croatian to start with.. but do not say that to your friends from Serbia . The language is a hard , full fledged Slavic language , as hard as Polish , Chech or Russian. If you do not speak any other Slavic languages , once a week will give you almost nothing.

How many times per week shall be appropriate?

Hi, I am a Serbian, living in Finland. It is true that you need to be more involved in order to learn this language, and I doubt that one class per week would be enough, but please, also, dont be discouraged in advance. The same is with studying any foreign lanugage. And yes, serbian grammar is difficult, that is the truth, but also, similar like finnish, it is phonetic - what you write is what you read, so not all is that hard!
