Write as you speak, read as it is written
The golden rule of Serbian spelling: words are written exactly as they are pronounced. There are no silent letters and no spelling exceptions, which makes pronunciation easy to learn.
Examples
voz
train — read "voz"
grad
city — read "grad"
hleb
bread — read "hleb"
Tips
- Unlike English, Serbian has no words with irregular pronunciation.
- When you see a new word, just pronounce every letter.
