Serbian for Foreigners

Jezik je predak i potomak, istovremeno. Jezik pretka je jezik potomka.

English language course

If you’re planning to live, study, or work in Serbia, learning Serbian is the ultimate key to fitting in and feeling at home. Sure, English (or other languages) can help you get by, but Serbian is what makes you truly belong.

Mastering it means you’ll not only understand what’s going on around you but also connect on a deeper level with the local community.

  • Courses for all levels – from total beginners to advanced.
  • Focus on real-life communication (daily chats, paperwork, studies, work).
  • Options: 1-on-1 lessons, pair courses, or small groups (3–5 people).
  • Quick integration into the local community and easier life in Novi Sad / Serbia.
  • Special focus on culture and local customs, not just the language.
Certificate

The Valesco certificate is included in the course price and is awarded after successfully passing the final test for each completed level (CEFR).

Who can join a course?
  • Our courses are open to both kids and adults, no matter your prior language experience. Everyone gets a free placement test so we can find the level that fits you perfectly.
  • It depends on your starting point, motivation, and type of course. After a few weeks of regular classes and conversations, you’ll be using basic phrases, while confidently chatting about everyday topics usually takes at least 6 months.
  • • Individual – Total flexibility, fully personalized to you.
  • • Group (3–5 people) – Mix of social vibes and teamwork under expert guidance.
  • • Pair – Perfect if you want to learn with a friend, colleague, or family member.
  • At Valesco, we don’t count hours per CEFR level — you learn until you truly get it. Language is alive and flexible; it can’t be chopped into neat little chunks for sale. For example, you can’t tackle the past tense if the present tense isn’t solid (just like in math you can’t multiply before mastering addition). Course duration depends on intensity and format (individual, pair, or group). On average, one level takes 10–12 months of consistent work.
  • Yes! All our courses include conversation from day one, so even if you’re a total beginner, you’ll quickly start using practical phrases in real situations.
  • Standard pace is twice a week for 90 minutes, but individual courses can be scheduled to fit your life.
  • Yes! After completing the course and passing the final test, you get a Valesco Center certificate confirming your level according to CEFR standards (A1–C2).
  • Both! Classes are available in our Novi Sad center or online, so you can pick what works best for you.
  • Our courses mix conversation, modern materials, multimedia, and real-life scenarios — so even learning grammar is engaging and practical.
  • We use modern textbooks and CEFR-aligned programs (A1–C2), plus online tools, multimedia, and conversation exercises. Everything is always tailored to your level and goals, whether you’re learning for work, travel, or everyday communication.

I did a 7 week course with Vanja and her team at Valesco and right from the beginning Vanja did an outstanding job communicating with me and organizing everything from different countries. She takes great pride in teaching and is very selective with her staff. You can see that they love working at the centre and have a genuine passion for teaching language and working with their students plus they're all great fun to be around. You're always made to feel comfortable and the centre has a family like feel to it.
If you're after a language school this is the only place to go !

The people are great, the schedule is flexible, and the price is fair. I studied Serbian in Valesco for half a year, and after only 3 months I managed to pass the state exam at the A2 level.

Я вначале переживала насколько будет понятно объяснение сербского языка на сербском, это было напрасно. Все понятно и как раз тем замечательно, весь урок слушать носителя, проще запоминать слова и манеру произношения. Драгана - чудесный преподаватель. Уроки с ней похожи на веселые посиделки с другом, где можно обсудить разное.
