Learning Tips

  • Learn motion verbs like 'ići' (to go) and 'hodati' (to walk) as pairs with distinct meanings.
  • Group verbs by their present tense endings (-am, -em, -im) and practice each group separately.
  • Focus on mastering three key tenses: Prezent (present), Perfekt (past), and Futur I (future) with regular verbs first.
