Veljko Miljani\u0107 (46) from U\u017eice lived and worked as a software engineer in America for 13 years, and then he had the idea to create a free application for learning the alphabet. After that, he made the decision to move to Serbia and raise his three children in his home country!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He worked for just as long on the creation of the application itself, which is intended for children aged four to seven, and into which a lot of effort has been invested. The idea was born after the Church of Saint Sava in Seattle, where he lived with his family, organized a Serbian language school, which was a significant event for Serbs in Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significant for Serbian children in the world<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2013My two daughters started going to that school and I thought how convenient it would be to find an application where they could learn. At that moment, there were only a few applications, basic ones, and I didn’t find what would be convenient for them. I saw the need to create this as something significant for all Serbian children in the world, but also in Serbia. This is also important for the preservation of our cultural identity, because Cyrillic is the primary Serbian script and generally of significance to our culture. It seemed like a really good opportunity \u2013 Miljani\u0107 explains for Kurir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He set high criteria and aimed for English language applications made by serious companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013The production lasted three years with breaks, because there was also a move, so it stretched out. It wasn’t that simple; it stretched out because it was a high-level application. I wanted beautiful graphics, a professionally recorded voice, all of that is actually harder \u2013 he tells us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veljko invested 1,500 euros into the application and its production, and the biggest expense was the time he invested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013During that time, I could have been receiving a salary, but I considered this to be significant and that it should be done. I did the best I could. There are maybe a dozen applications intended for learning the alphabet and Cyrillic, but this is the only serious one \u2013 Miljani\u0107 is proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Learning the Alphabet” application aims to make learning Serbian Cyrillic easier for children through play, both reading and writing. It consists of various mini-games and tasks that include letter recognition, writing letters, identifying the starting letter in a word, connecting letters into a word, and reading and writing words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
