Croatian tutors

My name is Mia Popović and I just started to study at BSBI. All my life I am in tourism, so around people. I can not wait to meet new people and new conection. I worked in hostels and hotels, so I met a lot of people and I believe I can meet new friends and make new pages of life. I like everything about my country, so I could learn new students also some tipical things about Croatia, maybe give some advice what to see if they will travel to Croatia. Croatia is beautifull country and croatian language.

I am a teacher with more than ten years of experience teaching English, French as well as Croatian for foreigners. I have a degree in English and French languages from the University in Zagreb. I also studied a year abroad, in Belgium, and lived in the USA for two years. Throughout my work experience I have taught both children and adults. I love teaching languages and I feel great joy and pride when I see my students advance in their language skills. I am looking forward to new teaching opportunities!!!

Hi! My name is Jasmina and I came from Zagreb/Croatia to study Dance and Movement Therapy Master at CODARTS. I am 37 years old enthusiastic about movement somatic practices, yoga, literature, and nature. I really looove reading poetry and books in general and I am getting along with children very well. Love to go to the theatre, concerts, and cinema. So, I think there is a lot to talk with me:) In Zagreb, I was finished BA law and do that for some time, but dance is my passion and I realized that this is a path that I need to follow! Nadam se skorom susretu i dijeljenju znanja!

I'm an experienced ESL teacher with 4 years of teaching experience gained in China and Croatia and 9 years of experience as a private tutor holding TESOL certificate. Being an avid reader who enjoys exchanging knowledge and ideas, I find the best way to do that is through traveling and teaching. Growing up with a teacher mom, I realized that nowadays it is important to have an enthusiastic, creative and dedicated educator who will not only teach you a new language but also guide you on how to observe the world and express yourself effectively.

Also offering babysitting with grammar lessons and begginer language courses. Graduated on Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality management, spend last 6 years working onboard cruise ships.

I am a Croat who lives and works in Mladá Boleslav. I completed my master’s degree in economics and logistics. My mother tongue is Croatian. I love hanging out with people and I love sharing my knowledge.

Hello y'all. My name is Mihael, from Croatia. I can't tell you how much I love meeting new people all the time and learning as much as I can. Talking movies, (good) music, throw in some philosophy while drinking a cold one and my day is fulfilled. I'm also a student of Social Sciences. For my future students... Croatian indeed is a challenging language to learn, but I have made it as fun as possible for all of my former students. The difficulty really depends on your native language, meaning it will be easier for speakers of another Slavic language, and the difficulty keeps for speakers of a non Slavic language. But believe me, we are easily impressed when some speaks the language even remotely good. Also, by learning it, the doors of the world known as The Balkans will be open to you since Croatian is closely related to other Slavic languages in the Balkans.

I am a native Croatian situated in Prague. I also speak English and Czech. Was studying art and was a leader and participant of many workshops. I have two years experience in teaching Croatian in Czech Republic and I found teaching interesting and inspiring. My goal is not only to teach students grammar and words, my goal is to introduce students to Croatian culture and way of living, throw games, songs and literature. Learning language is not enough. Only when one knows the culture of a nation, one can really be able to use that language in proper way and sense.

Hello everyone, My name is Ružica (Růžená in Czech, Rosie in English :)) and I was born in Split, Croatia, but am currently living in Zagreb, Croatia. However, but due to personal circumstances, I intend to move to Prague in September or October at the latest. I am therefore looking for jobs that would suit my education, interests, and abilities and for a change, passions. Regarding my formal education, I have an MA degree in Law (Faculty of Law, Split) and an MA degree in Sociology and Comparative Literature Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Zagreb (Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Zagreb). I am also currently attending a Ph.D. course in Humanities. However, my deepest interests lie in the fields of culture in general, mainly writing and acting. During the last ten years, I have attended many acting groups and classes, most importantly, for the last four years I have been attending Studio Kubus in Zagreb twice a week (studying acting theories and techniques, from Stanislavski to Chekhov and Strassberg and working on texts of Shakespeare, Moliere, and contemporary playwrights) and have recently premiered an authorial play Three Mothers at the SKAZ theatre festival with two of my colleagues. Teaching someone my mother tongue is indeed a new thing for me, but I am looking forward to that possibility since I am an extrovert and love meeting new people, perhaps above everything else. Language as such is also a big thing for me since all of my previously mentioned interests are both deeply rooted and interconnected with that mysterious thing we use to connect one with another. I would certainly be up for inventing creative and student-centered approach - building on what he/she already likes/knows/is interested in or is in any way emotionally attached to. I'd be glad to introduce a student with some great literature, films, and music in my language, for I think that art is the best, and somehow the most right way of acquiring knowledge in this field.

Hi, I am Sonia, a certified language teacher with 7 years of language teaching experience (English/Spanish/Croatian). My students come from different countries across the world and I help them overcome language barriers in every day situations, at school or work. Croatian is a challenging language with rather difficult pronunciation and complex grammar rules, however with some effort and good will, everyone can learn the basics within a couple of months. This online course is intended for the second or third generation of Croatian expats who would like to learn the language of their ancestors to communicate with their family and relatives more effectively. As well, I can prepare you for a job search in Croatia or a business meeting/negotiations with your Croatian business partners. We will work with authentic materials (texts from the media and coursebooks, audio and video recordings of native people speaking in different dialects) and practice all 4 skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

I am Izabela, girl from Croatian capital Zagreb. I enjoy good music concerts, listening to old vinyl records, art, running, cycling and late dinners with friends. I studied radiologic technology and worked within field for 3 years. Recently my dream came true and I moved to the best city in the world - Copenhagen - to live with my boyfriend. I don’t have much experience in teching other people languages but I learned a lot different languages myself and I think I developed fine skilles in learning them.

Hi there! I'm Iva, I grew up in Zagreb and Croatian is my mother tongue. I hold a bachelor's degree from New York University. For the past 4 years, I have been working as a Croatian tutor for children and adults. I have experience teaching all levels, from absolute beginners to almost native-level speakers. I come from a creative background, so I always strive to bring real-world situations into my lessons and make it fun! The key to learning a new language is becoming confident enough to express yourself and make mistakes along the way.

I am a Croatian native who speaks Croatian and English on a native level. I also speak Spanish and German, although my Spanish is better than my German :) I have a masters degree in journalism and I live in Berlin since 2018. I am very relaxed, easy going and reliable. I would love to be able to help someone who wants to learn Croatian, because its not such a difficult language as most people think. The person just has to have the will to learn it, it might take more effort than with some other languages. :)

I'm an anthropologist and a documentary filmmaker interested in linguistics. I speak English, French and Dutch, a bit of Spanish. I can understand much more languages than I speak (mostly Slavic). I am based in Brussels since 2009, I like to travel and explore cultures and places. I love tracking, yogin philosophy, aromatherapy, biohacking lifestyle with the accent on sound and colour healing, challenging tasks and situations. I am at the moment without a stable job and free to give classes in most of areas in Brussels. I can also teach at my place in a very quiet private compound near Midi station.

My name is Dorotea and I'm a Croatian student. I'm 24 years old and I'm currently living in Copenhagen. During my sports career I have traveled the world experienced many cultures. I've learned other languages during that time and I have also taught basic Croatian to people I've met during my travels. Croatian is a quite difficult language to learn and understand but the fastest way to learn it is talking with a native speaker. You can learn Croatian quite fast if you are dedicated and willing to invest time.

Electrical engineering and computer science student at TU Wien, writting my master thesis. If you’ve searched and found this article, the chances are that you are already thinking about learning Croatian, or you may have already started. In that case, you must have a few reasons of your own as to why you decided to pick up this beautiful, yet complex language. There are many reasons why you might want to make Croatian next on your language-learning list: you love traveling and can’t wait to explore Croatia and mingle with the locals you have a Croatian background and want to learn your language of heritage you are planning to move to Croatia your partner is Croatian and you want to be able to communicate in their native language there is a large Croatian-speaking community in your area that you want to connect with you love a good language learning challenge and Croatian seems a good place to start Whichever your reason for learning Croatian, make sure it’s a strong one to keep you motivated and persistent. Here are a couple of reasons that might help you get and stay excited: Croatia has a rich culture and history If you love history and exploring new cultures, the best way to immerse yourself in that culture is by learning the language and meeting the locals. Sitting on the border between the Balkan peninsula and Western Europe, Croatia’s history books have been marked with numerous wars, epic battles, courageous warriors, old kings, political turmoil, and fights for the independence of both country and language. Historical evidence tells us that Croats arrived in the Balkans in the early 7th century! Initially, they were nomadic people living in small villages but very soon they became a recognized kingdom. The first king of Croatia, King Tomislav, was crowned in 925 AD. That’s half a century before America was even discovered… Imagine the richness of history! Croats are extremely proud of their heritage and are very patriotic. They would love to share their rich history with you. Croats also love everyone attempting to speak to them in their own language. So, if for instance, you speak Croatian and then mention the Croatian football team’s success in the 2018 World Cup, you’ll be extremely popular! Croats have managed to preserve their historical cities that speak of the life people once lived. It’s no wonder Croatia is called – The Mediterranean as it once was. Croatian is a great place to start if you are interested in Slavic languages Once you are able to speak Croatian, it will be very simple for you to pick up some of the other Slavic languages. In fact, although they are distinct and different languages, you will have no problem understanding Serbian, Bosnian or Montenegrin. Even though they have their differences, learning one of these languages will automatically propel you into understanding the rest. If you were to ask locals how many languages they speak, they will jokingly tell you that they speak several – alluding to the aforementioned languages. These Slavic languages are all different and distinct, but also very similar to each other. If you can speak one, you could understand the other three and communicate without much difficulty. In fact, if you were to place a Croat, Serb, Bosnian and Montenegrian in a room and each spoke their own language, they would have absolutely no difficulty in understanding each other. You can read more about the differences and similarities of these languages here. Now, how about that? Basically becoming multilingual by learning a single language? Not a bad deal! Also, in comparison to these other languages, Croatian uses a Latin script. Serbian uses Cyrillic, similar to that of Russian, with some differences, and Bosnian uses both scripts. For an English speaker, it would be easiest to begin with Croatian so you wouldn’t have to learn another alphabet. Croatian is also a great base to learn other Slavic languages (Slovenian or Bulgarian, for example) since these languages share similar vocabulary and grammar structures.
