Teach Yourself Serbian
Well I've managed to get myself a Teach Yourself Serbian, just the audio, without the book, it's a little hard for me. And hehe, I didn't have the time to listen to it well, until... now. So, yeah, I may need some help with what I'm listening to, since I don't have any text with me to help me now. So, feel free to correct me! 
And of course I'm training my Cyrillic reading, so I'll write in both Cyrillic and Latin. 
Unit 02 - Greetings and Introduction
I've skipped unit 01 since it's just pronunciation notes
Activity A
