What a wonderful way to learn a language! Dusan is approachable and very well informed. He tailors his class to the participants, and teaches us what we want to learn. He also always adds information about dialect variations. I highly recommend this course!

One of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time was to start taking Romanes classes with Dusan Ristic.  Not only is he a patient and thoughtful teacher, but he is so knowledgeable about the Romany culture in general as well as all of the many dialects, he is really an invaluable source of information – plus he’s a great guy.  I’ve learned more and enjoyed his classes more than I ever would have imagined – I only wish I started sooner!

One of the reasons why Roma-culture is so strong, is the direct passing-on – from person to person – of language, stories and music. Dusan is fully aware of this: ‘Roma-music is way beyond scores’ he told me when I asked for scores on joining a singing course in Valjevo. We sat at the kitchentable, he sang a line, and I repeated it. He would make me repeat it untill we had worked through every possible, tiny comment…
This takes a lot of patience, on both sides, but it results in ‘learning by heart’, and that expression got its real meaning for me while I was sitting at that kitchentable with Dusan. And, well, Skype is just a “cyber-kitchentable”;
The heart remains just as essential.

Dusan is a great and informative teacher. This is a great class, entertaining and informative. If you are looking for a personal approach to learning Romanes, look no further. Dusan is a brilliant communicator.
