Living in Belgrade: The Serbian Language

The Serbian language very much reflects how Serbia still straddles the boundaries between East and West. Although it's complex pronunciations make it a challenging language to learn, this Slavic language uses both the Cyrillic and Latin scripts with many letters written and pronounced as in English.
