Croatian vs Serbian: What’s the Difference?

What’s the difference between Croatian and Serbian? Are they basically the same language or two separate ones? In this video, I dive into how similar (or different) these languages really are.

I’ve been living in Croatia for more than 3 years and learning Croatian myself. I’ve read a lot about the topic, asked locals, and even talked to people from both Croatia and Serbia. Last weekend I traveled to Serbia for the first time to experience the difference firsthand — and here I share everything I’ve noticed and learned.
