Textbook srpski VS pravi srpski - advanced (B1.2-C1)
U ovoj epizodi analiziramo razlike između srpskog jezika koji učimo u knjigama za srpski kao strani i onoga što ćete zaista čuti na ulicama Beograda ili Novog Sada. Istražujemo zašto standardni udžbenici često sadrže zastarele reči ili neprirodne dijaloge, dok u stvarnom životu koristimo skraćenice poput „je l'“ umesto formalnog „da li“.
Posebno se fokusiramo na česte gramatičke greške koje prave i sami govornici srpskog jezika, kao što je mešanje reči „zadnji“ i „poslednji“ ili nepravilna upotreba potencijala. Takođe, razgovaramo o srpskim idiomima i slikovitim izrazima koji se ne mogu...
Textbook srpski VS pravi srpski - beginner (A1-B1.1)
U ovoj epizodi pričamo o tome kako Srbi stvarno govore srpski jezik. U knjigama često učimo reči koje niko ne koristi, kao što je reč „onde“. Mi uvek kažemo „tamo“. Takođe, umesto „da li“, mi skoro uvek kažemo „je l’“. Na primer: „Je l’ hoćeš kafu?“.
Danas učimo i zanimljive izraze. Kada mislimo da nešto nije moguće, kažemo „malo sutra“. Ako ne želimo da nam neko kaže „hvala“, kažemo „taman posla“. Naučićete i smešne izraze o životinjama, kao što je „gleda kao tele u šarena vrata“ (kada je neko zbunjen).

Studije i univerziteti u Srbiji - advanced (B1.2-C1)
U ovoj epizodi analiziramo kako izgledaju studentski dani u Srbiji i inostranstvu kroz naša dva potpuno različita iskustva. Razgovaramo o tome zašto studiranje nekome donosi uživanje i nova prijateljstva, dok drugima, poput studiranja prava na stranom jeziku, može izazvati stres i anksioznost. Takođe, razgovaramo i o svakodnevnoj rutini, predavanjima u amfiteatrima i izazovima sa kojima se suočavaju studenti koji se zbog fakulteta sele u nove gradove. Naš cilj je da vam približimo akademski život u Srbiji i pomognemo vam da razumete kulturne razlike u obrazovanju.

Studije i univerziteti u Srbiji - beginner (A1-B1.1)
U ovoj epizodi razgovaramo o studiranju i fakultetu u Srbiji. Pričamo o tome kako izgleda prijemni ispit i šta sve studenti moraju da uče. Nevena deli svoja lepa iskustva sa studija u Beogradu, dok Jelena priča o stresu i studiranju na stranom jeziku u Francuskoj. Govorimo o studentskoj rutini, ispitima, ali i o kafi tokom pauza i potrazi za stanom.

Srpski mentalitet, part 2 - advanced (B1.2-C1)
U ovoj epizodi analiziramo složene aspekte srpskog mentaliteta, fokusirajući se na specifičan odnos između kolektivnog osećaja žrtve i kulta heroja.
Istražujemo kako su teška istorija i gubitak nezavisnosti oblikovali današnji identitet, pretvarajući patnju u svojevrsnu vrlinu, dok istovremeno gajimo ogroman ponos prema istorijskim junacima.
Takođe razgovaramo i o svakodnevnim fenomenima poput duboko ukorenjenog sujeverja i čuvenog straha od promaje. Kroz ovaj razgovor pokušavamo da razumemo zašto su ove teme i dalje ispunjene emocijama i na koji način one definišu život u Srbiji.
Srpski mentalitet, part 2 - beginner (A1-B1.1)
U novoj epizodi razgovaramo o mentalitetu žrtve. Objašnjavamo zašto istorija i porodica utiču na to kako ljudi u Srbiji razmišljaju danas. Takođe, saznaćete zašto Srbi sebe vide i kao žrtve i kao heroje.
U drugom delu pričamo o zabavnim stvarima – sujeverju. Da li znate šta znači kada neko štuca ili zašto je promaja "opasna"?
Nadamo se da će vam ova epizoda pomoći da bolje razumete srpsku kulturu. Pišite nam vaše mišljenje!

Internet i social media - advanced (B1.2-C1)
U današnjoj epizodi razgovaramo o društvenim mrežama i o tome kako utiču na našu svakodnevicu. Razgovaramo o „beskrajnom skrolovanju“ na telefonu koji nam je svima, kako kažemo, na dohvat ruke i ostalim negativnim aspektima neprestane povezanosti.
Delimo sa vama i naše lične strategije za digitalnu detoksikaciju, poput čitanja knjiga umesto gledanja u ekran, ali razgovaramo i o pozitivnoj strani interneta. Diskutujemo o tome kako su nam platforme omogućile da stvorimo divnu zajednicu i povežemo se sa ljudima sličnih interesovanja širom sveta.

Internet i social media - beginner (A1-B1.1)
U današnjoj epizodi razgovaramo o društvenim mrežama (social media). Danas svi koristimo telefone i aplikacije kao što su Instagram i TikTok. Često kažemo da nam je telefon uvek „na dohvat ruke“, što znači da je uvek blizu nas. Pričamo o tome zašto nekada previše gledamo videe. Delimo sa vama i naše savete: kako da ostavimo telefon i, na primer, čitamo knjigu.
Ali, internet ima i dobre strane - zahvaljujući društvenim mrežama, mi smo napravile ovaj podkast i upoznale vas. Srećne smo što imamo veliku...
Kako se Beograd promenio - advanced (B1.2-C1)
Dobro došli u novu epizodu našeg podkasta!
U današnjoj epizodi analiziramo promene Beograda i diskutujemo o tome da li je srpski glavni grad zadržao svoj duh nakon svih urbanističkih promena. Fokusiramo se na razvoj grada u poslednjih dvadeset godina, posmatrajući Beograd iz ugla stanovnika, ali i ljudi koji grad sada vide novim očima.
Posebno govorimo o proširenju internacionalne zajednice. Primećujemo da Beograd postaje pravi kosmopolitski centar gde se strani jezici čuju na svakom koraku. Poseban akcenat stavljamo na kontroverznu arhitekturu, sa fokusom na projekat „Beograd na v...
Kako se Beograd promenio - beginner (A1-B1.1)
Zdravo i dobro došli u novu epizodu našeg podkasta!
U današnjoj epizodi govorimo o tome kako se Beograd promenio i da li nam se grad sviđa danas i šta je drugačije nego pre 15 godina.
Prvo razgovaramo o internacionalnoj zajednici - danas u Beogradu živi mnogo ljudi iz inostranstva. U jezičkim kafeima možemo da upoznajemo ljude iz Rusije, Italije i Francuske koji uče srpski jezik. To je veoma zanimljivo jer ranije nismo mogli da čujemo toliko stranih jezika na ulicama.
Posle razgo...
