(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Serbian national team player and Miami basketball player, Nikola Jovi\u0107, briefly traded the court for a classroom. A humorous video appeared on social media in which Jovi\u0107 takes on the role of a professor and holds the &#8220;first class&#8221; of the Serbian language for his teammates, accompanied by volleys of laughter and completely sincere reactions from the Americans.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the improvised school desks were Tyler Herro and Kel&#8217;el Ware, who seriously tried to master the basics of the language, but it quickly turned out that Serbian is no easy task at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially when it comes to sounds like &#8220;\u010d&#8221; and &#8220;lj&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The class started quite simply \u2013 with the word &#8220;zdravo&#8221; (hello). Herro somehow managed to get close to the correct pronunciation, while Ware seemed completely confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real problems, however, arose when Jovi\u0107 moved on to the next lesson and the word &#8220;u\u010ditelj&#8221; (teacher).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American basketball players struggled with the pronunciation, repeating syllable by syllable, and Jovi\u0107 patiently helped them, explaining through an example: &#8220;I am your teacher&#8221;. When Ware finally understood the meaning, praise and a smile followed \u2013 but only briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Serbian 101: The Word You Can\u2019t Say In Class \ud83d\ude45\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/auKAKcdl8HM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absolute hit of the class was the word &#8220;kikiriki&#8221; (peanut). Ware&#8217;s attempt at pronunciation sounded more like &#8220;Kiki Riki&#8221;, which caused uncontrollable laughter for both Jovi\u0107 and the others present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand your language, Niko,&#8221; Ware admitted at one point, practically giving up on further attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the end, Jovi\u0107 gave them one more word \u2013 &#8220;pomo\u0107&#8221; (help), with a humorous remark that this is exactly what they need most at this moment. He ended the class in a professor-like manner, with a message in Serbian:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Your teacher loves you&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Jovi\u0107 obviously enjoyed his new role, his &#8220;students&#8221; had to admit defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Niko, I&#8217;m failing the grade,&#8221; Kel&#8217;el Ware concluded, officially ending this charming Serbian language class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/barely-finished-elementary-school-zorana-mihajlovic-shamefully-attacked-novak-djokovic-for-his-support-of-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cBARELY FINISHED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL\u201d: Zorana Mihajlovi\u0107 shamefully attacked Novak Djokovic for his support of students!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/huge-material-damage-bomb-thrown-at-the-villa-of-zdravko-colic-the-singer-was-in-the-house-with-his-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HUGE MATERIAL DAMAGE: Bomb thrown at the villa of Zdravko \u010coli\u0107, the singer was in the house with his family!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/politics-or-something-else-serbia-and-montenegro-among-the-10-most-unattractive-european-countries-for-tourists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>POLITICS OR SOMETHING ELSE?
