The professional guide service introducing you to Belgrade & Serbia with care and affection!
Some Serbian... for help and for fun |
 |
This capsule vocabulary of useful expressions should
assist you in your everyday dealings in Belgrade. Most public signs and warnings
still are written in Serbian only, so take with you a copy of this glossary and
you will understand them properly. You
may find it helpful in some local restaurants and cafes, where menus are in
Serbian as well. Do not worry too much, though. So many people in Belgrade learn
English in school that you may find you need this handy vocabulary only for the
"fun of it".
