Croatian Language Trip – Easter 2020

Our Easter Croatian language trip will take place from 4-10th April in Zagreb.

The course costs €369 (approx. kn 2,662.00), which includes 20 hours of lessons and various tourist activities.

Classes will take place right in the city center (Google Maps). Students organise their own accommodation, although we're happy to make suggestions.

Course content & groups

Course content is designed to be relevant to your holiday, so you'll learn how to order in a restaurant, ask for directions, or book a hotel. You can try out the phrases you learn in the morning around town in the afternoon!

Lessons are conducted primarily in Croatian, although our teachers are fluent in both English and German. This approach has proven to help students quickly get used to hearing and understanding basic Croatian.

We teach small groups with no more than 10 students to enable positive interaction and communication. Our teachers strive to keep the learning experience enjoyable and informal despite the intense nature of the course.

We aim to accommodate all language levels, with guaranteed courses for beginners (A1) and intermediate speakers (A2/B1). Where  possible we also group advanced speakers (B2/C1/C2), depending on demand.

The city of Zagreb

Zagreb is the capital city of Croatia, with over 790.000 inhabitants.

The history of Zagreb goes back many centuries, but it was in 1094 when the name Zagreb was first mentioned. That happened when the Hungarian king Ladislaus founded the diocese in Zagreb at the Kaptol.

In Zagreb, you can find a nature reserve in the Medvednica mountain, which is not far away from the city centre. Also, make sure not to miss the view of the entire city from the Strossmayer promenade in the uptown of Zagreb. From there you can easily walk down to one of many theaters, which represent the cultural and artistic side of Zagreb.
