Serbian isn't one of them. Nobody built this for us, so we're building it ourselves.
Not because there's less love, because the words run out. Five minutes a day changes that.
We teach the kitchen table, the wedding, the match, and the summer trip back home.
Quick, game-like lessons that fit real life, built around the moments that matter to diaspora families.
Tap, match, listen, speak. Short daily sessions with streaks, easy to start, hard to quit.
Baka says every word out loud, at normal speed and slowed down, so you hear how it really sounds at the table.
Lessons built around family calls, food, celebrations, and matchday, the Serbian you'll actually use.
Themed tracks instead of grammar chapters:
Your guide through every lesson, encouraging when you show up, and very Serbian about it when you don't.
Speakers of Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian understand each other easily. Each language has its own standard, with some different words and pronunciations. Srpski teaches standard Serbian the way it sounds in Serbia: dete, mleko, hleb, kafa. Lessons stay on family, food and everyday life.
No. As of October 2026, Duolingo does not offer a Serbian course, even though it teaches more than 40 languages. That gap is why Srpski exists. It is a new app built only for Serbian, with short game-like lessons, a grandmother guide called Baka, and themes taken from family life in the diaspora.
Srpski is an upcoming app for learning Serbian, guided by Baka, a warm Serbian grandmother. Lessons take about five minutes and mix tapping, matching, listening and speaking. They are built around family calls, food, weddings, football and summer trips. It is in development now, and you can join the waitlist at learnsrpski.app.
Srpski is for people with a family reason to learn Serbian. That includes children and grandchildren of Serbian families abroad, heritage learners who understand more than they can say, partners of Serbians, and parents who want their kids to speak with relatives. The app interface is in English, and the lessons teach everyday spoken Serbian.
Srpski teaches Serbian in the Latin alphabet in its first version. Serbian is written in both Cyrillic and Latin. Cyrillic is the official script, and Latin is common in everyday life, especially online and in texting. Starting in Latin lets English speakers focus on speaking and listening first. Cyrillic is planned as an optional display later.
Serbian is a Category III language in the US Foreign Service Institute ranking, which estimates about 1,100 class hours to reach professional working proficiency. Grammar has seven cases and three genders. Spelling helps a lot, because Serbian is written the way it sounds. Heritage learners often start ahead, since they already understand words heard at home.
Srpski teaches standard Serbian in the ekavian pronunciation, the form most common in Serbia. That means words like dete (child), mleko (milk), lepo (nice) and gde (where). The vocabulary is everyday Serbian, such as hleb for bread and kafa for coffee, so what you learn matches how family members in Serbia talk.
Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian are closely related, and speakers understand each other without difficulty. Each has its own standard with differences in pronunciation, vocabulary and script. Serbian commonly uses ekavian forms like mleko, while Croatian and Bosnian use ijekavian forms like mlijeko. Serbian is written in Cyrillic and Latin, Croatian in Latin. Srpski teaches the Serbian standard.
Yes. That is exactly what Srpski is built for. Lessons focus on the phrases families actually use: greetings on a phone call, food at the table, compliments, questions about your day, and the things grandparents say. You hear every word spoken by Baka at normal speed and slowed down, so you can understand and answer.
