[00:00:00]Why is Serbian so easy to read? Well, it's very simple actually, because every letter represents one sound. So, a is always going to be a, b is always going to be b, r is always going to be r. So, it doesn't matter the combination of letters, doesn't matter where a letter is in a sentence, it's always going to be read the same.

[00:00:27]So, let me show you what I mean by that.

[00:00:30]Let's grab a book here.

[00:00:35]So, as you can see, the name of this book is "Otkup crvenog poglavice". And let's take for example the letter o.

[00:00:47]So, doesn't matter the word, doesn't matter where in a word the letter is, it's always going to be pronounced o. So, in this word, o is o.

[00:01:05]In this word, o stays o.

[00:01:09]And in this word as well, o is going to always be read o.

[00:01:17]And in any other word, it doesn't matter really. So, let's see.

[00:01:24]For example, "Bio sam".

[00:01:27]O is always going to be o.

[00:01:30]And it's like that for any other letter in Serbian.
