Introduction

I have set up this website as a resource for anyone interested in various but interconnected topics of language, literature, culture, and education. Here you will find learning tips, book reviews and other articles of interest – mostly in English, but also in South Slavic languages.

The term Grammaticus comes from the Greek word γραμματικός [grammatikos], ultimately stemming from the word γράμμα [gramma] – a letter. In classical antiquity and medieval times it denoted a man of learning, a scholar engaged in teaching and literary study.
