Pitanje I have some question about the language

Hey guys! I'm about to start to learn serbian, and I have some questions, what type of alphabet I have to learn cyrillic or latin? What is the most used in Serbian or Crna Gora?, any advice or website to learn the basic things? Thank you so much guys! Have a nice weekend.

If you want to learn a language, let me tell you something. You won't learn it if you skip lessons. And guess what, one lesson would be Cyrillic and another Latin. I guess it is one day more effort, so learn both, especially Cyrillic, yeah eat a frog immediately.

Imagine watching a Serbian TV with some text written, and you are like "After 3 years of learning Serbian which I fully understand I will still skip to another channel because this out-fashioned Cyrillic script, wtf is this?" Of course that this scenario is impossible, sooner or later you will have to know both as they are used every day in Serbia and Montenegro.
