The Importance of Expressing Gratitude
From the very moment a child is born, its parents spend a lot of time teaching them the importance of having good manners and etiquette. Expressing your gratitude in a simple and sophisticated way will set the tone of your conversation and help you get people’s respect. For instance, if you’re staying in Serbia and have a Serbian friend, learn a couple of new expressions. This will show your respect and acknowledgment of their culture and language. And what better way to do so than by expressing your sincere gratitude?
Similarly, if you’re wandering around Serbia and meeting the locals regularly, you will probably need some help with directions, recommendations, etc. Again, this is where your honest attempt to learn new words and expressions will go a long way, even if your pronunciation isn’t perfect. The locals will be delighted by your attempts and see it as a beautiful act of goodwill.
