I'm consistently impressed with Maria's punctuality and her ability to seamlessly transition between lessons despite her busy schedule. She not only recalls what we covered in our last session but also topics we discussed a month ago.
I'm satisfied with the lesson, adapting perfectly to my preferences on what topics to cover. She takes special care to allow me to talk as much as possible and patiently answers all my questions, both on grammar and Serbian culture, which I find incredibly valuable.

Another great Serbian lesson with Marija. since starting italki with Marija my Serbian speaking and comprehension level has improved drastically. She has done a wonderful job adapting to my learning style and providing me with the materials I need to learn the language. She is very thorough when explaining the complicated grammar, but still gives plenty of time during each lesson to speak. I would recommend taking classes with Marija for anyone who wants to learn Serbian.
