Lingomir is an online Serbian school for English and Russian speakers with two formats: the self-study course or learning with a personal mentor. Inside: an academically complete course from A0 to C2, the kind a serious language school runs, and a game layer the best apps have — a living city, characters with a memory, XP and streaks. Usually you have to pick one; here you do not.
An academic course
260 CEFR-graded topics from the alphabet to fluency: a lesson with explanations, a cheat sheet and exercises of ten kinds for every topic, a placement test at the start.
A living city
Dialogues with the residents of a virtual Novi Sad: the market, cafés, the bank, paperwork — just like real life. By text or by voice, with your mistakes reviewed.
Smart reviews
A 4,300-word dictionary with stress marks and spaced repetition: the app brings a word back exactly when you start forgetting it.
Gamified progress
XP, levels and ranks, streaks, daily quests, places on the map and a player leaderboard — so you study a little, but every day.
What makes it different
Why Lingomir
The course
A full academic course, not a deck of flashcards
260 CEFR-graded topics from A0 to C2 — phonology, nouns, verbs, syntax, vocabulary, communication. Every topic has a lesson written in English, a cheat sheet and exercises of ten kinds; 269 lessons and almost 16,000 exercises in all, each lesson academically reviewed. Most apps stop at A2 — exactly where real speech begins.

The living city
A city that answers back
The shopkeepers, doctors, clerks and neighbours of a virtual Novi Sad remember you and sometimes write first. Speak by text or by voice; after every line the AI reviews your mistakes and shows a better way to say it.
The scenarios come from the real situations of moving here: opening a bank account, renting a flat, registering your address, booking a doctor, talking to the neighbours. 138 of them — each practised in a dialogue, not memorised from a table.
67 residents with a character, a mood and a memory of you
138 real-life scenarios: the bank, renting, the doctor, paperwork
By text or by voice — and every line reviewed for mistakes
Dictionary and reviews
A dictionary that knows where the stress falls
4,300 words with stress marks, translations and Cyrillic forms, in 157 themed sets. Spaced repetition brings a word back exactly when you are about to forget it.

The game layer
A game that does not dumb it down
The game layer sits on top of the full course instead of replacing it: a living city with 67 residents who have a character, a mood and a memory, XP and ranks, streaks, daily quests, places and a leaderboard. Motivation every day — with no discount on depth.

Learning with a mentor
On your own or with a mentor
Lingomir is both a full self-study course and a programme with a personal mentor: mini-groups of up to ten, a one-hour one-to-one call every week and an experienced teacher of Serbian in the chat every working day. No timetable to fit your life around: everyone at their own pace.
A one-hour personal call every week, at a time that suits you
Your mentor answers in the chat within the working day
After every call the platform itself prepares a summary, a cheat sheet and links to materials

Who Lingomir is for
You are moving to Serbia or Montenegro and want to handle everyday life on your own from day one.
You already live here and are tired of switching to English where you would rather speak Serbian.
Your child is starting a Serbian school and you want to understand the teachers and the parents’ chats.
Work, residence permits, paperwork — you need the language for specific conversations in specific offices.
You simply love the Balkans and want the language, not a set of tourist phrases.
English is your language — and you want a Serbian course that explains grammar from English, not through another language.
Questions and answers
What is Lingomir?
An online Serbian school and app for English speakers — and for Russian speakers: the whole course is in both languages. Two formats: the self-study course and learning with a personal mentor. Inside: a full academic 260-topic course from A0 to C2 with cheat sheets and exercises, a dictionary with stress marks and spaced repetition, practice dialogues with the AI characters of a virtual Novi Sad, and gamified progress — XP, levels, streaks and quests. It runs in the browser at lingomir.com.
Is Lingomir a course or a game?
Both, and that is the point. The base is a full Serbian course of the kind a serious language school runs: 260 CEFR-graded topics, each with a lesson, a cheat sheet and exercises of ten kinds — almost 16,000 exercises in all. On top of it sits a game layer the best apps have: a living city with characters who remember you, XP, ranks, streaks and quests. Usually you have to choose between depth and motivation; here you do not.
Is Lingomir suitable for self-study?
Yes — that is what it is built for. A placement test picks the starting topic, the course leads through the topics in the right order, exercises are checked automatically, and speech is practised in dialogues with AI characters who review your mistakes. No tutor is needed; if you have one, Lingomir works well as daily practice between lessons.
Latin or Cyrillic?
Both. The course starts with the Latin script and teaches Cyrillic separately; the dictionary shows both spellings and the stress for every word. Serbia needs both: signs and menus are mostly Latin, documents and government offices are Cyrillic.
Can I learn for free?
Yes. The free tier gives you three new lessons a week, dialogues with the city residents within a basic daily allowance, the dictionary and smart reviews without limits, the city map and quests. No card and no sign-up — you can save your account later.
How much is Premium?
€7.99 a month or €54 a year — roughly 45% less. Depending on your region the price is shown in dinars or dollars (799 RSD / $8.99). Cancel any time in settings; Premium stays until the end of the paid period.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Lingomir runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop; one account, one progress across every device. Native iOS and Android apps are planned.
Is there learning with a teacher?
Yes. Besides the self-study course, Lingomir has the mentor programme: mini-groups of up to ten, a one-hour personal call every week, an experienced teacher of Serbian in the chat every working day, and after every call the platform prepares a summary, a cheat sheet and materials. Everyone at their own pace — no timetable to fit your life around. €119 a month, now €99 with the discount; Premium included. Enrolling now: signing up commits you to nothing, and you pay only once your group starts.
What language are the explanations in?
English or Russian, your choice. The English edition is written for English speakers rather than translated word for word; the Russian one builds on the roots Russian shares with Serbian. Switch any time in settings; the interface, support and legal documents are in both languages too.
Is Lingomir good for English speakers?
Yes. All 260 topics — lessons, cheat sheets and exercises — are written in English for English speakers: the cases, verb aspect and the sounds English does not have are explained starting from English. The dictionary translations, the dialogue feedback, the interface and support are in English as well.
What level can I start from?
Any. The course starts at A0 — the alphabet, Latin and Cyrillic, the first sounds — and goes up to C2. A five-minute placement test picks your starting topic; topics you already know can be marked and skipped.
How do the character dialogues work?
The characters are residents of a virtual Novi Sad with a personality, a mood and a memory of your past conversations. You write or speak in Serbian, the character answers like a real person, and after each line the AI reviews your mistakes. Dialogues are processed by an AI provider (OpenAI); staff do not read them, and the data is never sold or used for advertising.
How do I cancel or get a refund?
Cancel in Profile → Subscription in one click; Premium remains until the end of the paid period. Refunds follow the Refund & Cancellation Policy: EU consumers have a 14-day withdrawal right, and billing errors are always put right.
