For university and college courses you can estimate Serbian course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 45-48 class hours each semester. Language centers and individual Serbian tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more.

📚 How much Serbian do I need to know to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Serbian tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Serbian so challenging and are there ways to learn it faster?
One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Serbian. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Serbian fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand most words, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Serbian. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like LearnZone have Serbian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Serbian?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Serbian will require at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of Serbian or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Serbian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Serbian classes online.
🤳 Can I pick my own Serbian teacher?
In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of verified Serbian tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like LearnZone.
🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?
Colleges as a rule schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
