Learn Serbian & Može kafa podcast: Episode 10 - Impromptu Conversation

Today we're doing a couple of texts and topics based on more complex topics

and themes. So you can use examples and how to connect them into a

sentence,

how to make a good, let's say, impromptu speech about various topics.

Here I'm with Maki.

Ciao Maki. Ciao, ciao, bravo, kako si?

Dobro, hvala, a ti?

Hvala, dobro sam, super sam.

But I need help for this topic.

I really wanted to do this with a teacher.

This was one of my plans because making a prompt to speech like on

top of your head,

you just give your opinion about a big topic, an abstract topic, is a

challenge in all languages and even in your own language.

But let's try today with Serbian.

Yeah, so let's try.

Hey guys, Nikola here.

Just a quick reminder.

Stay tuned for the Serbian language e-book that will be hopefully coming out at

the end of December.

It's an e-book that covers A1 and A2 language levels.

I've been working on it for a whole past year.

So make sure to subscribe to this new letter and to be first to

find out the official release date of the book.

Hvala. Ciao.

Okay. So I picked some topics for you.

And the first one is, let me just, Zagadjenje i ekologija.

Zagadjenje i ekologija.

So pollution and ecology.

Sve će biti mnogo bolje.

Ja se slažem sa ovim.

Mislim da je ekologija jako bitna za sve nas na

duže staze, na long term.

I mislim da ne brinemo svi kao ljudi, kao društvo, dovoljno o ekologiji.

Imamo dosta primjera

O tome

I u Srbiji U Srbiji možemo naći dosta

Divljeg otpada Divljeg otpad je

Otpad ili džubre

Koji nije

Nije standardni

Nije

Obezbeđen Nije obezbeđen od strane grada

Ili države Tako da to je ono što mi se ne sviđa I mislim

da se to dešava zato što uvidi nisu se dovoljno obrazovali

o tom problemu.

Oni zapravo ne razmišljaju šta se sve dešava ako bacimo plastiku

ili bilo kakav otpad u neku reku ili neki potok.

Oni ne razmišljaju o tome, već razmišljaju kako da reše svoj

problem. Tako da je prvo problem na nivou zajednice, sociološki problem, a

drugi problem je na nivou individuje, osobe, svake osobe.

To je problem gdje čovjek ne treba biti sebičan.

Čovjek mora misliti i na druge i misliti i na prirodu oko sebe.

Da, da je to.

Hvala što pratite kanal.

Plastic, ride a bike

When we can And small things

If we all do them The world will be a much better place Sveče

biti mnogo podi And you added your own opinions about this Yes Which we

will write with the subtitles for sure

Yes, exactly

I can write that down

And you will see the transcript And the translation By the way

About throwing trash everywhere in Serbia.

I know there is this problem and people are very upset, but in the

Balkans, this is what I see a lot, actually.

It's very common.

And Serbia is not the top one, as far as I saw.

Okay, well... You get to feel a little bit happy.

That's good, a little bit,

but still, yeah.

Yeah, there's a lot of work to do.

Second topic is,

one of my favorite topics to talk about.

I wish I had that level, but I'll try.

Drav način života.

So maybe this one I will read and you will tell your opinion about

this. Okay. Važno je da živimo zdravo, ali često to zabarovimo.

Teo dan sedimo ispred kompjutera, telefona, televizora, a to baš nije dobro.

We need to eat more fruits and vegetables, to drink water and to move

a little.

The most important thing to eat or even to drink with the stairs, everything

helps. When we are active, we have more energy and we feel super.

It's good. Yeah.

So the text is talking about a healthy lifestyle and how important it is

to be active, to eat healthy, to have more energy.

And just the little things, at least riding a bike and climbing stairs can

And I agree.

help.

Slasemsi.

And do you think, in Serbian can you say a little bit why this

is easy but not so doable for many people?

Okay, sure.

for

Druga stvar je da gde god idemo, mi idemo kolima, autobusom ili

sl. Iako možemo da idemo i pešice, možemo da hodamo

do prodavnice umjesto da idemo kolima, tako da mi namerno izbjegavamo kretanje.

I treća stvar koja isto otežava zdrav način života je ishrana

koja je danas sve više i više ljudi jede mnogo šećera, na primjer.

Šećer nije dobar, naravno, to svi znamo.

Mnogo ljudi ima šećernu bolest, mnogo ljudi je gojazno zbog nekretanja,

zbog loše iskrene i mnogo jedemo brzu hranu i ugljene

hidrate. zato što je lakše

napraviti tu hranu lakše doći do te hrane nego do

napraviti nešto

od zdravije hrane jednostavno šećer

čini stvari ukusnijim

i zato jedemo previše šećera

tako da

to je nešto sa čime moramo

da se borimo svaki dan i moramo da idemo u šetnju barem.

Dnevnu šetnju. U veće, popodne, prepodne.

Da. Kako god želite.

Good, yes, I agree.

And the last one is

a very common topic.

Young people and technology.

You can lead this one.

Tehnologija nam je stvarno olakšala život, ali nekad je previše koristimo.

Pod sve dan gledamo u telefone, društvene mreže, igre, sve to.

A zaboravljamo na druženje uživo, šetnju, prirodu.

Nije problem koristiti tehnologiju, ali sve smerom.

Malo online, malo offline.

To je najbolja kombinacija.

Slažim se.

But we need to balance it, right?

Exactly.

We are not aware how much time we actually spend on the screens.

So it's better to remind ourselves to be offline at least sometime every day.

So what do you see in Serbia?

I think Mladihir, youth, yes,

but in the whole world,

the young people are the most vulnerable.

The young people spend the most time with the phone or computer.

And we can't do that now.

We can't stop it.

to mladima, ali i dalje nismo svesni dovoljno koliko je to

zapravo loše i kako to utiče na nas i na mlade.

Pogotovo na mlade, na primjer na decu i na tinejdžere.

Tehnologije i mediji utiču na raspoloženje i

na raspon pažnje.

Deca imaju sve manje i manje pažnje Ili sve manje raspon pažnje I ne

mogu da se koncentrišu Ne mogu da se fokusiraju na učenje ili na čitanje

Mnoga deca ne mogu da čitaju knjigu Zato što je, ne znaju kako još

uvijek Nisu odrasti uz to

Odrasti su uz telefon, na primjer A isto utiči na psihološki naraspoloženje Zato što

socijalne mreže like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, they show

prikazuju neke stvari koje nisu realne.

Nešto kako bi mi hteli da izgledamo, tako se prikazujemo na tim mrežama i

to utiče na decu jer nisu svesni šta je realnost, a šta nije.

Imaju pogrešnu svest o tome.

Tako da to je neko moje mišljenje.

Nažalost, da, to je tačno.

I will put the topics

as well on my social media and I want people to try for the

other topics to come up with their own impromptu speeches that's your challenge everyone

so I hope it will be

a nice fun challenge for everyone

and I'd like to hear what they think about

these issues

these are all interesting topics

to always talk about

either with friends

or to write a text about it by yourself And that's why I think

they are very good sources of practicing Serbian.

You can think of talking about these suffix with your professor, with your friends,

with your parents.

You can change the tone or the choice of words accordingly.

Exactly. It's a nice thing.

Hvala od Svetsa, Nikola. All right.

Hvala tebi. To je to za danas.

To je to i vidimo se u sljedećoj epizodi.

Ćao. Ćao, čao.
