Lorina Winkler is a highschool teacher from Switzerland. She started learning Bosnian after travelling to Sarajevo and Mostar in 2016. Being fascinated by the complex and rich language with influences from the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian occupiers, she was a bit frustrated when observing that the vast majority of teaching materials focus on either Croatian or Serbian. The only source of the 'real' Bosnian were her Bosnian friends.

After taking part in three summer schools by the Sarajevo-based language school Udruzenje za jezik i kulturu Lingvisti, she decided to create a Bosnian-English vocabulary together with her teacher.
