There is the minor problem that in Yugoslavia, there are at least three languages spoken, each with various dialects, together with areas where Italian is used. But you should be able to get by with a little knowledge of Serbo-Croatian, and that's not too difficult if you have a working knowledge of Latin and an understanding of Russian. Quite straightforward real- ly, once you get the hang of using two different types of script! But where can you study Sebo-Croatian? This was the problem facing 18 students from Ontario and Quebec who are part of the Canada World Youth group. In November they will act as hosts toa group of Yugoslav students visiting Canada. Later, they in a will travel and work in goslavia for several months. Thor taak will be made easier by a background knowledge of the language, and this is where Selkirk College entered the picture. A lecturer at the college, George Dubokovic, is now instructing the students in Serbo-Croatian, Mr. Dubokovic.. who was born in Yugoslavia, believes that the class is the biggest one in Canada, : and confesses that it is the first time he has been approached at ” Selkirk College to teach Serbo, Croatian, Things are made a little difficult by the fact that some of the students are French- speaking and others English- * speaking, but Mr. Dubokovic feels that the class is learning fast and should be well prepared for their visit to Yugoslavia.
