Learning Tips

  • Understand the difference between svršeni (perfective) and nesvršeni (imperfective) aspects through examples (e.g., 'pisati' means 'to write' continuously, while 'napisati' means 'to write' to completion).
  • Focus on mastering three key tenses: Prezent (present), Perfekt (past), and Futur I (future) with regular verbs first.
  • Group verbs by their present tense endings (-am, -em, -im) and practice each group separately.
