Did you know that children can listen and absorb sounds more easily than adults? This is because their language portion of their brain is still developing, and it does not identify language as foreign until teenage years/ the critical period. Kids have an advantage over adults to learn sounds and speech when it comes to learning foreign languages.

Can you guess the right verb form?

🇷🇸 The Serbian Language and Its Two Alphabets: Cyrillic and Latin One of the most unique features of the Serbian language is that it uses two alphabets: Cyrillic and Latin. This isn’t just a quirk, it reflects centuries of history, culture, and identity. Cyrillic has been used in the region since the early Middle Ages and is closely tied to traditional ways of writing and national heritage. Latin script came later, during the 19th and 20th centuries, influenced by contact with Western Europe and processes of modernization. Today, both alphabets are used equally, Cyrillic is the official state script, while Latin is common in media, on the internet, and in everyday life. This makes Serbian unique because it can be read and written in two different ways, both fully accepted and understood. For example, the word “Љубав” and “Ljubav” mean the same thing - love, but are written in two different alphabets. This dual system offers a rich variety in literature, media, and daily use, connecting different aspects of culture and tradition. Learning Serbian means diving into this special mix of tradition and modern life, plus experiencing rich Balkan culture, from music and food to customs and warm hospitality.

After that, I went to a shisha bar and relaxed for a while. In the evening, I watched the Demon Slayer movie. The animation was amazing and the story was really emotional. It was a perfect way to end the day.
