Serbian lessons

Lesson 1
Serbian alphabet

Hello my dear friend!
You told me that you are enthusiastic for learning Serbian and that surpriced me
and made me really happy :D Thats why I decided to make something for
you Hope you will have fun
I will write the explanations in english, but I will try to write examples in
Spanish I apologize in advance if I make some mistakes
Lets start?!
First let me say something about Serbian alphabet.
Serbian alphabet has 30 letters (characters). Their origin is from old slavic
language of which most of the slavic languages developed (like Russian,
Macedonian, Croatian ) Thats why there are a lot of similarities between
those languages today
Back to the alphabet as I said, there are 30 letters in Serbian. The alphabet is
called . The easy thing is that every letter has one and only one
pronunciation no matter in which context that letter is used. Once you learn the
pronunciation, you can easily read anything written in Serbian. You wont
understand what you are reading :D but thats a beginning :D
Ready to start??
Here are the letters first


I wrote both uppercase and lowercase letters because sonetimes there are slight
differences between writing those two
And now lets learn how to pronounce each one of them
1. : Pronounced like <a> in <amor>
2. : Pronounced like <b> in <bonito>
3. : Pronounced like <v> in <vida>
4. : Pronounced like <g> in <gracias>
5. : Pronounced like <d> in < dormir>
6. : Pronounced similar to <ll> in <llamar>
7. : Pronounced like <e> in <beso>
8. : Pronounced like <ge> in French word <fromage> I dont think
that Spanish or English have this type of pronounciation Not really
sure Maybe I just cannot think of an example sorry
9. : Pronounced like <s> in English word <present> (I could not
remember any Spanish word with the same pronounciation, I dont know
if it exists?)
10. : Pronounced like <i> in <bien>
11. : Pronounced like <y> in <yo>. Maybe it will be hard for you to
make the difference between Serbian and , its hard to explain
12. : Pronounced like <qu> in < querido>
13. : Pronounced like <l> in <flor>
14. : Pronounced like no sound in any of the languages I know
its something like <l> and <j> pronounced together
15. : Pronounced like <m> in < macho>
16. : Pronounced like <n> in <mano>

25. : Pronounced like <f> in < falta>
26. : Pronounced like <j> in <Juan>
27. : Pronounced like <zz> in English word <pizza>. I dont think
that there is such pronounciation in Spanish? Correct me if I am wrong?
28. : Pronounced similar to <ch> in < chica>
29. : Pronounced like <ge> in English word < baggage>
30. : Pronounced like <sh> in English word <shut>

this serious, Its just
