Did you know there's a country with 3 presidents? and 3 official languages?

Isco Sensei

Bosnian language - a language to use in 7 countries.

B/C/S or Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian languages are extremely similar and are the official languages of my country - Bosnia and Herzegovina <3


Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country on the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe.

We're probably the only country in the world which has 3 presidents and therefore 3 official languages: Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian (or B/C/S languages)



All 3 languages are extremely similar because before the 1990s, we were a part of Yugoslavia and this country consisted of 7 smaller (nowadays) countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Slovenia and Montenegro, and we've all had just ONE official language. 




After all countries gained their independence (through several wars unfortunately) 5 languages were recognized (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian and Slovenian), Montenegro is using a few of them and Kosovo too, although in Kosovo, the main language is Albanian (due to their strong connection with Albania).
Macedonian is very similar to B/C/S languages but Slovenian is the least similar one (when I went there, I used Bosnian with older Slovenians but had to use English with the young ones).

Long story short, by learning one of these languages (B/C/S) you can travel, move around, work, study or volunteer in any of these countries. Call that a #smartinvestment (:



If you would like to specify which language exactly you'd like to learn/improve, please let me know because even though the differences are minor, they still do exist.

I was born and raised here. it's my homeland and it would be my pleasure to help you with any of our languages, especially Bosnian.

Last year, I started teaching Bosnian online.

Can't wait to meet you! Let's go - Idemo (:

We have the only European pyramids and they were discovered quite recently, in 2005, when I was a kid but I remember this huge and iconic moment for my country, thank God <3
