Za uspešno savladavanje stranog jezika neophodno je izdvojiti dovoljno vremena, a to nije uvek lako. Poslovi, obaveze ili lenjost...

Preporuke za slušanje – jesen 2020.
Stigla nam je jesen, dani su sve kraći, bliži se Noć veštica… Zgodna prilika da malo vežbate svoje veštine slušanja kroz podkaste i radio drame nešto mračnije tematike - za one koji to vole.
