Bosnian Accent Help
Hi guys, I%26#39;m not sure if anyone can help me with this odd request, but I need help with an accent for a play I am in!
Can anyone perhaps (long shot I know) provide me with a link to someone speaking English with a Bosnian accent? I have tried searching U Tube but haven%26#39;t had much luck.
Cheers.

hey there,
I think this should help!!! :-D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0SpNlJGtdM

Hey thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to look for me...unfortunately I had already found that clip!
Wondering if anyone might be able to help me with the English phonetics for a few town names used during the play....
Banja Luka
Donji Vakuf
Prijedor
|||
Hi, sorry I can%26#39;t really help with finding things on the internet, but was just in Bosnia a few weeks ago, and I noticed people there pronounced Banja Luka like %26#39;Banya Luka%26#39;...sorry I know that probably isn%26#39;t much help, but better than nothing...
|||
Banja Luka will be pronaunced as Banya Luka
NJ sound is same as Spanish Nin~o=child or English new.
Donji/Gornji Valuf will be Donyi/Gornyi Valuf with very hard f on the end of Vakuf.
I suggest to get yourself LP Eastern Europe pocket phrase dictionary, price £4.99 from any good bookshop.
There you can find Serbo/Croatian as well as many other EE languages.
Whoever was the author,they realy know their languages.
I often use it when I teach Macedonia %26amp; Serbo-Croatian.
Sarajevo to Dubrovnik via Mostar and Trebinje?
Hi,
In a couple of weeks I%26#39;ll be travelling around Eastern Europe. Part of my planned route is going from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik and I%26#39;m trying to decide on the best way of making this journey. Would people recommend the train / coach or driving? Are Mostar and Trebinje worth stopping off at?
How much is the coach / train (one way) from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik? How long does it take?
And how long would the drive take? Is petrol expensive along the way?
Thanks in advance!

Hello. Im doing the same trip on the 18th June. From what ive heard the train from Sarajevo to Mostar is supposed to impressive (one of the best train journeys in europe ive heard). However there are no trains from there to Dubrovnink and the latest bus leaves early early afternoon which isnt ideal if you dont wanna stay overnight in Mostar. Apparantly you can get a train from Mostar to Ploce (i think) in Croatia and then get a bus down to Dubrovnik which will take a lot longer
|||
From Sarajevo to Mostar drive take about 2-3 hours . Petrol isn%26quot;t expensive .
|||
From Sarajevo to Mostar is few hous on the bus. Mostar is definatly must.
There is regular bus from Mostar to Dubrovnik chek
www.libertasdubrovnik.hr for timetables.
But I will sugest to stop at Trebinje.
It is worth spending half a day in this preserved Ottoman town. from atrebinje is very easy to get to Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is only linked with buses, no trains at all.

Removed on: 8:38 am, June 07, 2009cheapest transport from kotor to mostar in bosnia
I am travelling as 1 adult and 4 teenagers aged 14 to 17 years old to Kotor, Montenegro for 1 week at the end of July 2009. We would all like to visit Mostar in Bosnia, Dubronvik in Croatia and Shkoder in Albnania as a day trip for each location. What is the quickest and cheapest way to travel to these places? Do you think it would be better to go by taxi as we can all split some of the cost?
Can someone let me know, so that I can plan ahead, or maybe go with a tour guide?
Many thanks

www.libertasdubrovnik.hr has buses from Kotor to Dubrovnik.
From Dubrovnik there are regular buses to Mostar every day.
It is a long drive, best part of 4 hrs.
To get to Shkoder, best/easiest way is to get bus from Kotor to Ulcinj and there are lots of minibuses/furgons wich can take you across the border to Shkoder.
Dubrovnik %26amp; Shkoder are good for day trips, but not Mostar as is too far way and it is long drive by bus.
Instead I sugest you do day trip to Trebinje in Bosna %26amp; Hercegovina not far a way from Dubrovnik. Trebinje is lovely preserved Ottoman town.
Well worth visiting.
Also there is regular bus from Kotor to Trebinje.

Dear NLgirl06
Many thanks for your reply. This has really helped me and I think I will have to give Mostar a miss this time, but I will be visiting Split in August so I beleive Mostar is only about 2-1/2 hours away?
|||
Yes it is closer.
You will have to go via Imotski.
Split to Mostar is 112km.
But there are regular buses. Have a good trip.
tunnel museum
I would like to visit the Tunnel Museum immediately after my arrival in Sarajevo, how do I get from the airport to the museum? Is there any left luggage service at either the airport or the museum? Please advise. My flight will arrive in Sarajevo at 2:40 p.m. I understand that the museum only opens until 4:00pm. Will I have enough time for the museum?

Take taxi from Airport , Tunnel Museum is near Butmir .
Have a nice trip

Mostar - Help With The Basics!!!
We%26#39;ll be spending a night in Mostar and hoping that someone can give us some suggestions about the basics...
1. Lodging suggestions / what should we expect to pay (looking for something affordable, but not a hostel)
2. Should we try and hire a guide when we get there - how much should we pay? Is bargaining acceptable / expected?
3. We%26#39;ll be spending the entire day and night in Mostar and would like to hear any suggestions about what we MUST see and do.
4. Any suggestions about restaurants and the type of food we should try?
5. Do we need to take extra security/safety precautions because our rental car will be Croatian registered (since we%26#39;ll be coming from Dubvrovnik?)
6. Any other tips / general advice about Mostar???
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

To describe Mostar, its history and development, in only a few sentences is not an easy task to do....
Try this link ... ( about Mostar )

Hi, to answer some of your questions:
1) I agree with above, Old town did look nice (though we didn%26#39;t stay there, we stayed in a room in a private house...called Hostel Miran, but I know you said you didn%26#39;t want hostels...it was 20euro per night).
2) We didn%26#39;t have a guide, old town Mostar isn%26#39;t very big, and it%26#39;s easy to wander around yourself
3) The fun here is just in wandering around the cobbled streets, grabbing a coffee or a drink at one of the numerous cafes. Oh, you should definitely take a walk around the front line as well, as the name suggests, it was the front line during the war, you will see all the shelled out buildings etc, very interesting. There are a few museums (old turkish house, photo galleries, old mosque etc) around the old town which are also worth a look.
4) There are lotsof restaurants in the old town, any of the ones we tried (can%26#39;t remember any names, sorry!) we all good, there are some nice ones on the river. Lots of traditional Bosnian food all very tasty, if a little oily. The coffee is great!
5) We also had a rental car from Croatia, and had no problems with it at all. Left it parked for the 2 nights/2 days we were there, and it was absolutely fine.
You will really enjoy Mostar, it%26#39;s a very relaxing place with a lot of history, I would recommend it to anyone, have a great trip!
ATM / Cash Machines
I will be visiting Sarajevo next week and am hoping to bring cash and also use my bank card.
My card is not a debit card (not Visa/Mastercard), but is part of the Cirrus network.
Is anyone able to let me know if most of the cash machines in Sarajevo are able to be used with Cirrus...?
I don%26#39;t want to get to Sarajevo and then not be able to spend money in this lovely city!
Thanks for your help.
Ross.

Hi, sorry I can%26#39;t tell you if they accept Cirrus ( I can%26#39;t remember-my card is visa debit!) But do make sure to phone your bank and get them to open your card for Bosnia, most UK banks seem to freeze your card when travelling internationally, and you definitely don%26#39;t want to try to take money out, and find out your bank has blocked it (as has happened to me in the past!)
There are bank machines everywhere, and they all seemed to be fine, though as I said, I used a visa debit...I think you will probably be fine though.
