About this hub

About comprehensible input in Bosnian

Learning Bosnian by listening first

Comprehensible input is a simple idea: watch things you mostly understand, and the rest fills in over time. Bosnian suits it, because so much of everyday speech is short, repeated lines (eto, ajde, haj, šta ima) that a course never gets to and a talk show uses every minute. Reelang sorts the clips so you start with the ones you can follow.

Why Bosnian on its own, not a mix

Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian understand each other, and most courses blur them into one. People in Sarajevo still say kahva, not kava or kafa, ćuprija for a bridge, and keep an h that the neighbours dropped. Every clip in this hub is Bosnian speech from Bosnian channels, so the words you pick up are the ones you will hear there.

Getting started here

Start with your level, then choose a listening difficulty where you catch most of what is said. From there, browse by topic depending on what you want to practise. Start with news readers, who speak slowly and clearly, and come back to the same clip a few times. When the talk shows stop sounding like one long word, move up a level.
