Learn Croatian
in Croatia

We organise four language holidays a year, at Advent and Easter in Zagreb, spring in Šibenik and a summer holiday in Pula.

The week is a mix of learning, fun and tourism ... then practising what you’ve learnt on real-life Croatians! Lessons are taught in small groups and material is tailored to the holiday experience.

How does a language holiday work?

Learning Croatian during a visit to Croatia is the perfect combination!

TAILORED MATERIAL

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!

TEACHING LANGUAGES

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.

SMALL GROUPS

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.

LANGUAGE LEVELS

We aim to accommodate all language levels, with guaranteed courses for beginners (A1) and intermediate speakers (A2/B1).

Where possible we also organise a separate group for advanced speakers (B2/C1/C2) if there is sufficient demand.

Feedback from students that have learned with Školica, in their own words:
Dani Zupcic

I started learning Croatian with Školica from the summer of 2020 and it has been a great experience.

My teacher's name is Anđela. She is a very considerate teacher who thinks a lot about how she presents the material. Her lessons are interesting and she always encourages me to try.

I have learned a lot in my classes. I highly recommend Školica and Anđela to anyone interested in learning Croatian.

Sabrina Fusari

I've been studying Croatian on my own for a long time, but it was only after I started taking individual Skype lessons with Školica that I began to make some serious progress.

My tutor (Anđela) is very professional, knowledgeable and caring.

Highly recommended!

Chelsea

I've been learning Croatian with Školica for about three years now. I started learning because my husband is Croatian and I wanted to be able to talk to his family. I have also always wanted to learn another language.

The teachers I’ve had at Školica have been amazing and learning online has been really convenient. I feel like I’m really learning about the language and not just memorising words and phrases from an app.

I would highly recommend learning with Školica and from its wonderful teachers.

I think Školica is the best place to learn Croatian!

Croatian isn't an easy language to learn in general, but my teacher Anđela makes it seem very easy. She is an expert, very patient, organized, and very competent in general.

Skolica has been a positive experience through and through and I would recommend it to everyone who wants to learn Croatian!

Sandra Kaabel

I have really enjoyed studying Croatian with Anđela!

She very accurately assessed the level of my self-learned Croatian following the trial lesson, and takes good care of setting the pace of learning to how fast I progress.

Learning is fun with her!

Andrea i Maja - moje uciteljice u Školici - su prave bombice!

Andrea and Maja - my teachers from Školica – are really fantastic!
They are both extremely qualified and always attentive to my needs.

I feel they have helped me a great deal over the past year.

Peter Looker

I’ve struggled with languages all my life, so when I started to do business in Croatia a few years ago I knew I would need help. I feel very lucky to have found Školica. I am impressed with their course structure, personalized instruction and schedule.

My teacher Maja has been positive and patient and given me the encouragement I needed to continue my slow but steady progress. I can recommend Školica to anyone who wants to learn Croatian.

Jane Lea

I decided a couple of years ago to learn Croatian with Školica.

I’ve had both individual and group lessons, both of which are enjoyable, varied and easy to follow but with the right amount of challenge.

The teachers are exceptional and offer support and encouragement with everything I do.
