Where is a good site to learn the basics of Bosnian language?

Answer 1

This site on the internet is the only place that offers Bosnian. It has a good basic grammar guide and offers basic phrases to learn..

But since Bosnian is very very very similar to CROATIAN and SERBIAN especially at the beginners level...I am going to recommend a couple of Serbian sites which are excellent for learning the language..


This is a very good free online course for Serbian..
http://www.serbianschool.com/

This is an excellent Serbian-English dictionary. It contains many colloquial words too.

This site is excellent for learning vocab..It offers separate Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian vocab so it is good for telling the differences between the languages as well.

(A very simplistic explanation is this...Bosnian used to be called Serbo-Croatian which was the language spoken in Yugoslavia..
When Yugoslavia split up so did the languages into Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and now Montenegrin..

Bosnian is inbetween Serbian and Croatian..It is spoken in a Croatian accent with Serbian vocab and a few extra Turkish words thrown in for good measure. This is a very generalised explanation but it is basically true)





I have answered questions before about learning Serbian and Croatian..They contain some very useful links..
