Don't hate me if I haven't acquired an easy tongue for Srpski, but I am looking for a tutor or a writing pal to help me out before making the move in about a year from now.
Any idea where to look for an onlin Serbian community, besides Facebook, which I try to screen tightly? An good Serbian language books on the market. Unfortunately, Rosetta Stone does not yet make Serbian manuals :(
What's the best way to learn the grammar? Is there some sort of rythmic tone I should memorize or is it just an acquired talent? I have also noticed the intonations are very exaggerated when I listen to authentic speakers. When do you exaggerate an intonation? I think I use latin intonations when trying to speak...thus no one understands my simple phrases.
Any learning advice is welcome and much appreciated :)

Passing the time; Hopefully not the dream
16 weeks and 4 days...winter hell with signs of slightly less miserable weather to come..a blossoming baby grows outward by the day and a dream still connected to a wondrous life full of family travel, artistic endeavors, a career exploration, and clear, sunny skies.
16 weeks I have contemplated my motherly intuition on where to raise myself and my family comfortably, easygoing on the wallet and our mental health. I still reach for Belgrade, voted 3 times now compared to 3 different U.S. cities on my list. I still cradle that spontaneity that has securely nudged me through the wavering decisions I've been left to make of my slow to speeding life. Why stop now?
The only unsettling question I cannot sleep on anymore is the potentially big issue of what to do with my career goal, how to incorporate art back into my life? I am left to squander over my self-conflicting, nagging dilemma to taste everything before comitting to one career move. Well, I've had it up to here with leaping from one job to another, one hobby to the next. I need to invent a practical goal before transporting my while life to another country. How easy will it be to invent a career goal and apply it Serbia?
With an open-mind and perservering will, this lost mamma will push on to better days...
Here's lookin at you Belgrade.
