Croatian Tutors & Teachers

PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE SCHEDULING THE LESSON, THANK YOU. Hi, my name is Marija and I was born and raised in Croatia in an area where the used language is very similar to the standard language. Here are some fun facts about the people in Croatia. We are coffee lovers, easygoing, friendly and most of us can speak English. There are a lot more interesting stuff about the people and the culture but we can talk all about that in lessons. I am a student at Philosophical faculty in Zagreb where I´m currently studying to become a teacher in social sciences. In addition, I wanted to get more experience with other languages I have been learning at the time so my primary focus was online language exchange where I have taught English and Croatian for the past 3 years. The reason I have kept doing teaching others languages that I am proficient at and want to step the things up is because it´s fun and it brings me great joy when I see improvement in someone´s language ability. My teaching style depends on what you need the language for. I have an official textbook which is used to teach foreigners Croatian and I adapt the lesson order and exclude things you won`t need or include things that you will need according to what kind of Croatian you need to learn. After every lesson I like to give homework, but that is entirely up to you. For example, if you want to understand people and talk to them then I am teaching you the conversational language which includes basic grammar and words, slang words, how to alternate words to become easier to use but so that everyone can still understand you. Plus, if you are going somewhere where a dialect is used I will also focus on those words. As for the learning outside the lessons, I will propose some fun media materials which can deal with the Croatian culture or anything you would like it to be about and later we can talk about it in lessons. So you can learn about the culture and the language at the same time. What I like to focus early on is spoken language because I find that when you are learning the language usually the focus is on listening and grammar and speaking is neglected which is especially bad when you need to learn conversational language. That would be all from me. I hope we can learn together on Verbling.

Hello, my name is Ena and I am 29 years old. I am from Croatia and I finished croatology on Croatian studies in Zagreb. I worked in primary and high school like Croatian teacher. I adore my job and I use modern methods in teaching. If you have any questions, contact me. Looking forward to our learning. :)

Bok svima! I am a native Croatian speaking, born and grew up in Croatia. In the past eight years, I have been studying and living abroad in many different countries, which gave me the opportunity to learn different languages too, such as German, Slovenian, Swedish, Indonesian and Dutch. At the moment I live in Kenya and I am trying to learn Swahili. Besides learning languages, I also enjoy nature, cooking, reading, traveling, watching and making documentaries and photography. I have experience in teaching Croatian language online (also using only the target language) and as a German and English tutor (private lessons). Knowing that every person has a different way of learning, I try to adapt to each individual’s pace and needs. Although our classes will be informal and conversational, I will make sure I correct your mistakes in grammar and pronunciation. I hope you will be motivated, proactive and curious, and that you will ask me anything that is unclear or not understandable. Our learning process (yes, I hope to learn from you too!) should be fun and enjoyable, so I prefer to focus on topic that you are passionate about. To assist you in the learning process, I use various teaching materials such as images, audio, video and text files. Please contact me before scheduling a lesson to make sure I am available at the desired time.
