Some Serbian options stay free, and some stop at a limit. The 50LANGUAGES website lets you read and hear its English to Serbian lessons for free. Drops gives you short free sessions each day, and Clozemaster gives you free sentence practice. Ling gives you a few free units, and its annual plan starts with a trial. Bubblegum has free library lessons. This page shows where each one stops. For courses and tutors, see our Serbian app comparison. For word lists, see Serbian vocabulary apps.
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Serbian. You learn from Serbian you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Tell Poppy, your AI tutor, your level and what you like, and she writes your Serbian lessons. If a sentence is hard to follow, ask Poppy to explain it.
With Regenerative Review™, words you save show up again in new lessons, so that you can review words in new contexts without having to use flashcards.
- Library lessons in Serbian are free to read.
- The Serbian dictionary has more than 31,000 entries with English meanings.
- Poppy's grammar notes cover 334 topics in English.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- Learn every letter in the free Serbian Cyrillic course, with a picture to help you remember each one.
- Unlimited custom Serbian lessons need Pro. You also can't turn a Serbian book or video you own into a lesson, but Poppy will explain a page you paste in.
- Custom lessons cost us money to make, so you need Bubblegum Pro for unlimited custom lessons. Lessons Poppy wrote for other learners are free for everyone to read.
