I would just like to say a few sentences about
about Belgrade Language School and how they helped me
to learn Serbian
and I also learn at Belgrade Language School
but I'm in the group class
and actually, I heard about this school because of Liz
;)
some video she spoke about this school and I tried
and yes... I can say, honestly, it's really good
in my group, we are only 2 students
and it is really good because we have a lot of time
to speak
the first 30 minutes... 30 minutes exactly...
we just chat
Do you know which day it is today?
Because it's the 1st of April
Ummm...
Day of idiots (April Fool's Day)
No, we say, "Дан шале" (day of jokes)
Oh... okay... hahaha...
Lol... day of idiots... XD
and our teacher is also awesome! Eh... Marija ;)
Less homework next time, pretty please...
And look how I'm using cases now
It means that I'm better and that this school is really good
Lara: It wasn't really good... Eloi: Not good cases huh... oops sorry!
But okay, if it wasn't good cases, it was because of pressure
not because of the professors...
We have a lot of homework, lots of homework generally
but it is good because we don't have to (of course)
to do all the homework
but if you want to, if you have a lot of motivation
you have a lot of (time) in between classes to do it
did you have time to finish your homework?
it was the little 8th and 11th exercises, isn't that right?
...
Just to let you know, I always do homework, but this class which
we filmed... I didn't
What a bad example for a video
But you know what's funny? Yesterday when you said
like, let's talk a bit and then we'll correct homework
*facepalm*
Generally at the start of the class we play a game but it all depends
we might look some grammatical thing
so... to draw, I draw, they draw
Oh.. then I've always been wrong...
Yep, so "to draw" is in the second group (-am, -aju) of course
I've realised that I've mistakenly put many notes into Anki
the problem is, sometimes I hear something and I immediately
put them into my notes and then I've heard incorrectly
or I was drunk and I couldn't see what I had written...
Don't you, whilst drunk, put notes into Anki
But I must, in this moment, is the best moment
in the middle of the conversation, "Oh wait, wait, Anki..."
"to add..."
"Could you repeat one more time for me just to record
to throw into Anki"
"Your voice, here, microphone"
But sometimes we study some text or some recording
3. In this place, you'll find a pedastrian crossing
4. Here you can exit for the freeway
But usually in my classes we don't study a lot of grammar
like you can hear...
Because I chose that...
Because I want to first learn more vocabular
to understand more and right now I don't want to learn grammar
If I don't understand something, Ema will explain in Serbian
instead of translating to English
Sign which has a deer drawn on it, do you know what a deer is?
oh yes... this one with (antlers)
and it's like a warning
we have the same thing but with kangaroos
and one sign with a kangaroo?
Yes but really, I'm not even joking!
and that is what I like about this school because they respect
what you want. For example if you want only grammar
then it will be just grammar but if you want to speak and to practice
then it will be just that and that's a really good point
They have structure, not only for the class but also for
progress towards goals (my goals)
They are specifically Serbian language teachers but for foreigners
because for example, when you are teaching Serbian to Serbians
compared to foreigners, it's really different
and another thing that is really good is that the teachers don't
interrupt you, and that is really important to me because I don't like
when I start to talk about something and then, op!
"You made a mistake here, that's lokativ, not akuzativ,
what are you saying, what are you on about?!" Bla, pfft...
So, they shouldn't interrupt when you speak,
but after you're finished, they should tell you
what was the mistake and that's really good.
I think that's all for today's video,
if you're a hardworking bee
you can either find a professor on italki
or Belgrade Language School or any other school, doesn't matter
but what's most important thing is to have
someone to talk to.
That's a very, very important thing and the point of the video.
So, see you next week. Bye, kisses.
Bye-bye.
