An outstanding Serbian online program
Azbukum Online Serbian (AOS) platform offers specially designed programs for teaching Serbian to children ages 3 to 6 and 7 to 11, or youth ages 12 to 17. These programs represent a collection of various types of courses which are adapted for distance study, outside of the classroom.
Independent AOS courses are aimed at studying online, without a teacher. They are fully interactive and fitting to different ages and levels of knowledge of Serbian. Younger children (e.g. 3-6) may not be able to enjoy all aspects of the platform independently. They might need some help from older family members.
Online AOS Courses are organized via Zoom or Skype with open entrance to additional content offered by AOS platform. Third type of online programs is Az Buki Serbian Club.
Besides the online, Azbukum offers programs in Serbia. There are courses on site, in Azbukum premises in Novi Sad or Belgrade, as well as Az Buki Serbian Camps, during summer periods.

These courses are aimed at studying Serbian without a teacher. With carefully tailored content that perfectly suits age and level of a pupil, Serbian can be mastered gradually. Younger children aged 3 to 6 can enjoy the programs without a need to write if they are not ready for this. However, all the courses are designed in a very interesting, dynamic and challenging manner, yet with lots of fun and play, so the language learning process goes smoothly.
Independent AOS courses cover levels from the absolute beginners (A1.1) to upper advanced (B2.2) for the ages from 3 to 17. There are no special requirements to enrol into any of the programs.
A desire to learn Serbian is the only requirement needed.
If a potential student has got some previous knowledge of Serbian he/she needs to take an online
Diagnostic Test
prior to starting a suitable program.
All explanations and instructions within the courses on the platform are given in Serbian and English for the levels from absolute beginners (A1.1) to low intermediate (A2.1). For the upper levels only Serbian is used. It is the student’s choice which language version he/she likes more.
Independent AOS can start whenever one wants. Depending on satisfaction gained upon completing one of the courses, a student can keep going with his/her future studies by applying to the next course and higher level.
These courses are made for beginners or those with a very low level of Serbian (My Serbian 1) or for intermediate level (Moj Serbian 2) for the children with fairly good knowledge of Serbian.
Each course consists of numerous „packages“ of 5 lessons each.
By completing one package after another every child will be led from zero to a solid elementary level of Serbian.
Every lesson in each package includes a PDF material and there is no need for additional course books. There are also lots of animated videos, interactive games and audios to help learning and keep the student motivated.
