Who is this for?

If you’ve ever wanted learning to feel like a vacation, this retreat is for you!

For three days in the mountains, you’ll stay in a private villa, with a chef cooking just for us, and transfers straight from Belgrade.

Guided by a native Serbian teacher, we’ll speak Serbian everywhere: during nature walks, at workshops, playing games, and sharing warm evenings together.

Perfect for learners at A1–B1 levels. With only 8 participants, you’ll feel safe, supported, and ready to speak.
Why is it worth it?
  • Full Serbian immersion
    Conversations, nature walks, workshops, useful learning materials, board games — everything in Serbian.
  • All-inclusive
    A private villa just for our group, a personal chef, and transfers Belgrade ↔ Kopaonik — all organized for you.
  • Stunning location
