Hello, my name is Jovana, and I come from Belgrade, Serbia. My native language is Serbian. The language is not very widespread, it's characteristic of Serbia, and Serbs living outside Serbia. It is possible that on the street you can hear the Serbian language, and not know what language it is. Serbian language is characterized by the fact that people in different parts of Serbia speak different accents, dialects; words are pronounced more or less quickly, so as soon as you hear the Serbian language, depending on how that person speaks you conclude what part of Serbia she comes from. For me personally being a Serbian language speaker is a great advantage, especially as the language is not very prevalent, so that you can work as a translator to someone who does not understand it. Serbia is characterized by having at least five synonyms for one word. The language itself is very rich in words and there are words that people use in slang. Also characteristic of the Serbian language is something that my friends that are not from Serbia especially loved are to learn Serbian curses. I do not know why, but a lot of people say that the most interesting language for curses is Serbian. So my friends know, at least five of six curses in Serbian. It is interesting to do that in a language that is not so widespread, in order to be almost sure that you will not come across the person who speaks it. What more can I say about the Serbian language. It is interesting, though for many who are learning it grammar is very difficult. Language itself is very interesting. I think the hardest thing for people who learn Serbian language, and are not Serbian nationality, is saying the voices like ч, џ, ш, ћ...voices that are not typical for other languages. It is very difficult to get used to the voices spoken individually, let alone in a sentence. Especially if you want to speak fluent Serbian, and not slowly like a beginner. Even though I think the Serbian language is beautiful and interesting and it is worth learning.
