I've been playjng around with the ida of learning Serbian for so long now it's ridiculous but I haven't gotten arkund yo.it yet. For me as a language nerd and someone who also studies them in college fairytales are the gateway to not only a new language but it's culture.

Between “once upon a time” and “happily ever after” lies a timeless, ever-changing world, where everything is possible and dreams do come true.

Countless fairy tales with infinite variations, usually conveying moral, social or political lessons through skillful narrative and interesting characters, have existed throughout history and throughout the world.
