The platform

Progress in Serbian between classes, at your own pace

Interactive lessons with native audio, vocabulary, dialogues and quizzes. Everything you need to reinforce your skills between live sessions.

The platform

Between classes, you move forward twenty minutes a day

Lessons follow one another in order, with no evening to set aside. Every word is recorded by a native speaker.

  • 170 lessons across 36 modules, from beginner to advanced
  • Native audio on every word, with a slow-down button
  • Your progress is kept, on phone and on computer alike
Audio

You hear the language as it is actually spoken

The recordings are made by native speakers, not by a synthetic voice. The slow-down button separates the sounds when it goes too fast.

  • Every sentence can be played and slowed down
  • The transcription and translation sit under the audio
  • You replay it as many times as you need, with no limit
Quizzes

Every module ends with a quiz, not with a ticked box

You are corrected on the spot, with the explanation. A failed quiz can be retaken, with no penalty and no record.

  • Immediate correction, with the right answer explained
  • An end-of-level test opens the next level
  • A level certificate at the end of the course
Level certificate

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Serbian

Not strictly required, but strongly recommended. Serbian is officially written in both alphabets, and most signs, newspapers and official documents use both. Serbian Cyrillic has 30 letters and can be learned in 1 week. The bonus: mastering Cyrillic also gives you access to Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian.
Linguistically, they are very close and mutually intelligible (often grouped under 'BCMS'). The main differences are vocabulary (Turkish borrowings in Bosnian, Latin ones in Croatian), alphabet (Cyrillic + Latin in Serbian, Latin only in Croatian) and some grammatical variations. Learning Serbian gives you access to all three countries and their 20 million speakers.
Yes. Belgrade is increasingly attracting startups and multinationals thanks to low costs and excellent technical talent. Serbia is an EU candidate, making it a market with strong potential. Companies like NCR, Nordeus, Levi9 and many IT firms have significant offices there.
Serbian has 7 grammatical cases, which is a real challenge. But unlike Polish or Russian, the pronunciation is highly phonetic (you read as you write), which simplifies learning. Pitch accents are difficult at first but rarely block communication. With 6 months of regular practice, fluent conversations are within reach.
The US FSI classifies Serbian in Category 3 (about 1,100 hours to mastery). For an English speaker with regular classes, conversational B1 is achievable in 9 to 12 months. If you already have a foundation in Russian, Polish or another Slavic language, progress will be significantly faster.
One plan, the Complete plan, gives you every language, live small-group classes with native teachers, interactive lessons and the community: $8.50 instead of $17 a week, $24.50 instead of $49 a month or $49.50 instead of $99 a quarter, after a 7-day free trial. The Platform plan, without live classes, costs $9.50 instead of $19 a month. Launch offer until October 31 at 11:59 pm (Paris time), with a limited number of spots: you keep the reduced price for as long as you stay subscribed.
100% online. When live classes are scheduled for this language, they take place in small groups via Google Meet; the schedule is in the platform. Interactive lessons stay accessible 24/7.

“Road trip to Belgrade-Novi Sad planned for September. 3 months of Serbian and I can already read signs and order without pointing. teacher Nemanja is patient with my very French accent”

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”

CamilleVerified purchase
D

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”

DamienVerified purchase
S

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”

SorayaVerified purchase
A

“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”

AntoineVerified purchase
E

“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
