Croatian language courses for beginners & advanced learners
Školica is a language school dedicated to the Croatian language,
which has been offering Croatian language courses for beginners
and advanced learners since 2009. In our teaching approach for
Croatian we put special emphasis on a positive and productive
learning environment, furthermore, we communicate in Croatian in
all our Croatian courses from the very beginning. Since 2014 you
can learn Croatian online with Školica and
be taught live by trained native speakers.
In addition, we at Školica offer exclusive
language holidays in Croatia four
times a year. The 7-day language courses in Zagreb and on the
Adriatic coast combine 20 hours of lessons and tourist
activities with holidays in Croatia. Lesson topics are always
practice-oriented in small groups with a maximum of 10
participants. Our
Croatian teachers are all
Croatian native speakers who studied - or are studying -
languages.
Our Teaching Approach
We work hard to create a positive, productive learning environment,
whether we're teaching online or during our language holidays in
Croatia.
Learning a language should be fun, and a positive group atmosphere plays
a large role in learning success.
In all of our teaching the following underlying principles apply:
-
Wherever possible you will be assigned a teacher who speaks your
native language
-
We communicate with students in Croatian from the very first lesson
-
We teach in small groups to encourage student interaction
Communicating in Croatian
Regardless of whether you have prior knowledge or not - if you book a
Croatian language course with Školica, all of your lessons will be in
Croatian from the very start.
Our experience has shown that students learn quickest by hearing as much
Croatian as possible.
Our teachers will use a variety of teaching techniques - including
acting, drawing or singing - to assist your success in your learning
experience. You'll be amazed at how much you can communicate in Croatian
after just a few lessons!
