brigidMy husband, whose dad is from Czrna Gora, is watching a show on Serbia and damn this (English) host just is awful at saying Serbian names and words. It's like he's purposely choosing to put emphasis on the wrong syllable every single time. But what can you possibly expect from a people who pronounce "St. John" as "Sin Jin"? I ask you. So Nesko keeps yelling out corrections and the correct versions of these words sound so much better, even when I didn't know the correct version to begin with.
