Attending school.
Contexto cultural
The 'two-shift' system (dve smene) is common. Students switch between morning (8 AM) and afternoon (2 PM) classes every week. Similar to Serbia, but the first day of school is often marked by even more formal family gatherings and 'pokloni' (gifts) for the 'đak prvak'. In multi-ethnic areas, 'going to school' can involve 'two schools under one roof', a unique and complex educational structure. Children often 'idu u dopunsku školu' (go to supplementary school) on weekends to learn the Serbian language and history while living abroad.
Drop the Pronoun
You don't need to say 'Ja idem'. Just 'Idem u školu' is more natural.
Preposition Trap
Never say 'na školu'. It's always 'u' for school and 'na' for university/college.
