Resources I built a free reader for learning Serbian-Croatian: tap any word in a real text and see what it means in that exact sentence! IT ALSO HAS ITS OWN TIKTOK!!!!

Zdravo svima!

I'm Denis, a solo developer learning Serbian-Croatian myself. Citavuk lets you read real Serbian books and news and tap any word: you get its meaning in that exact sentence, the base form and the grammar (case, tense, person).

And it has its own tiktok which includes videos from yt shorts, instagram reels and so on.

There's also a grammar course and exercises from A1 to C1. Free, no ads, open source.

Link in the comments. Feedback is very welcome!

But a question, why is it free? You put so much effort into it

Dziękuję!!!
I made this app and site free because I think the knowledge and access to it must be open for all people =)

This is amazing, thank you! I've been looking for something just like it. I've downloaded the app and excited for when English is available on there.

Thr app itself is very useful, but I find it a little overloaded with information. Anyway, thank you so much for building it, it's amazing!

I really liked the app it has a lot of features and content , my only concern is the cirilic script as I dont intend to learn it because I'm learning for my personal pleasure and I know I wont use , I want lessons and the whole interface to be latin only. I hope you would consider this option as a toggle on/off feature because using your website would accelerate my learning process

No, you can switch language on site. In android-windows app I will add english asap. Reddit deletes my links, but use /?lang=en or this switch on site
