Why Serbian?
Four reasons to take Serbian classes
One Language, Two Alphabets
Serbian is the only European language that actively uses both Latin and Cyrillic scripts in daily life. Learning it gives you fluency in two writing systems simultaneously.
Understand the Entire Former Yugoslavia
Serbian is mutually intelligible with Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. One language effectively gives you access to four countries and 20 million speakers.
Experience Belgrade's Cultural Renaissance
Belgrade has emerged as one of Europe's most exciting cities for nightlife, art, and food. Serbian unlocks the local scene that tourists on guided walks completely miss.
Navigate a Complex Geopolitical Region
The Balkans remain central to European politics, migration, and EU expansion. Serbian-language literacy gives journalists, diplomats, and researchers unfiltered access to local discourse.

PRIVATE SERBIAN CLASSES LOS ANGELES
PRIVATE SERBIAN CLASSES LOS ANGELESWith a Strommen teacher you will speak Serbian on the first class. A private session is more effective, efficient and convenient than enrolling in a group class. Your Strommen teacher will be a perfect fit for your needs and learning style. We equate 10 hours of private classes with a full semester in a traditional college or group class.
Scheduling is convenient (7 days a week, any time of day), and you can start right away. You can easily reschedule, so you will never miss a class and get left behind. In a private class, you do the speaking. There are no other students to hide behind or take up all of the teacher’s time. Your teacher will make sure you progress at your pace, rather than the pace of the best (or worst) student in the class. Strommen further enriches your learning experience with free podcasts, videos, online resources, Strommen Language Meetups around LA, group classes, workshops and even annual immersion trips.
Getting started is easy, just fill out our student application or call and we will help choose the best teacher for you. We decide on a specific teacher based on a number of criteria including a professional gut-feeling. We will make sure it is the perfect match. As a student, your Strommen teacher will be highly dedicated to you, but if they happen to go to Italy for vacation or you feel like switching it up a bit, rest assured you can always get a substitute or alternate teacher. The locations for our private classes are very convenient (believe it or not we probably have a location down the street). Many of our teachers meet at cafes, at their home office, or anywhere you like. We believe it’s fundamentally wrong to really learn a language from a text book, audio CD, or computer program. It’s time to get away from the computer, grab a coffee and meet your Strommen teacher to have a real conversation!

Serbian class FAQ
What is the best way to learn Serbian?
Regular sessions with a native speaker, focused on conversation. Serbian grammar is complex enough that you need someone to explain the case system and verb aspects in context, not just in the abstract. Learning Cyrillic early is also worth doing — it only takes a few days to memorize the alphabet, and it opens up a lot of authentic Serbian media. Watching Serbian films with subtitles and listening to Serbian music between lessons helps build your ear for the pitch accent.
How long does it take to learn Serbian?
The Foreign Service puts Serbian in Category III — around 1,100 class hours for professional proficiency. For conversational ability, most dedicated students get there in 8 to 12 months of consistent lessons. The case system takes time to internalize, and the verb aspect system (perfective vs. imperfective) is a concept English doesn't really have. Heritage speakers who already understand Serbian but need to formalize their skills move much faster.
Is Serbian hard for English speakers?
Yes, it's on the harder side. Seven grammatical cases, three genders, a distinction between perfective and imperfective verbs, and a pitch accent system — that's a lot of new concepts. The good news is that Serbian spelling is perfectly phonetic (every letter maps to exactly one sound), and the language is very logical and consistent in its rules. It rewards systematic study. And if you learn Serbian, you'll also be able to understand Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin.
Can I take Serbian classes online?
Yes, all of our Serbian lessons are available online via video call. This is actually the preferred format for most of our Serbian students since it removes geographic constraints and makes scheduling easier. Your tutor can share screens to work on Cyrillic reading exercises, and the conversational focus of our lessons translates naturally to video.
