Moze Kafa Podcast

You submitted questions, my boyfriend answered them! Check out a non-Serbian's opinion on Serbian people, food and language, and let us know if you empathize with him :)
p.s. If the audio is a bit echo-y,  it's because we only had one mic to record from. This was a good test to see what we need to improve when we have guest appearances!

Is smoking a part of Serbian culture? Is there any kind of bias towards smokers there? Maki and Ivana dive into the regulations and stats about smoking in Serbia.  You will learn some basic vocabulary, too. Our wish is 'Nemojte da pušite.' (Do not smoke!)

You might have heard of Novak Đoković (a famous Serbian tennis player), but Serbia is also known for sports like basketball, water polo and volleyball! Also, find out what Partizan and Crvena Zvezda actually are and why there is an endless rivalry between them.

Zdravo svima! Learning the language of a country is easier when you know its culture and history. That's why we have covered some cult books and famous authors in Serbia in this episode. You may read them in English or Serbian. If you're a noobie like Maki, you can read 'Ezopove Basne' (Aesop's Fables) in Serbian. Thanks for listening!
