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.
In addition to our live language courses, on our website we provide you with a free Croatian grammar trainer as well as a free Croatian vocabulary trainer - tools to help you further improve and regularly train your Croatian. If you are already an advanced learner of Croatian, you can test how good your Croatian already is with our free Croatian placement test - it only takes 15 minutes to fill out.
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:

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!
