WHATEVER YOUR REASON, YOU’VE FOUND THE PERFECT COURSE.

I'VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE.


When I first started teaching Croatian language and culture, I realized that many learners, after mastering the basics, were left wanting more—more depth, more connection, more understanding.

I saw how passionate they were about not just learning the language but truly living the culture, understanding its history, and connecting with its people.

That’s when I knew I needed to create something more—a course that goes beyond the surface and dives deep into the heart of Croatian heritage.

IMAGINE THIS:


Imagine targeted lessons on intermediate grammar topics, breaking down complex grammar into understandable segments and applying them in cultural contexts to enhance retention and understanding.


Imagine expanding your vocabulary with essential terms and phrases that allow you to describe a person, place, or event in detail. You’ll immerse yourself in Croatian literature, film, and theatre, as well as contemporary life discussions, enabling you to confidently engage in meaningful conversations about Croatian culture.


Imagine enhancing your conversational skills and building confidence through practical simulations. Whether you're retelling an event, describing a picture or a town, or engaging in a discussion about Croatian songs and lifestyle articles, you'll be prepared for real-life interactions that go beyond the basics, connecting you more deeply with the language and culture.

Hearing you speak. You sharing your experiences. Everything was explained clearly. I'm pretty sure others feel as I do that you were very welcoming and accommodating - clearly explaining proper tenses, regional dialects, pronunciation... You built in lots of practice time - On some of the listen and repeat you did allow more time for response.

I would definitely suggest this course to other people. It was very informative with a lot of information. You just have to be patient with going over the work and it will eventually make sense and you will see how much you have learned. You can ask question and get answers to help.

I have been taking Croatian classes for a while, so the course was not entirely new. But, I was thrilled with how much information, including cultural information, in addition to grammar and pronunciation Tihana packed into this course. She presented excellent charts for reviewing, summarizing and to use in the exercises to target students with NO background in addition to those of us with grammar experience. She is open to questions all the time and structures the course to accommodate students all over the world!. The review and experience has been invaluable and helps me separate out the cases and how to use them. She encourages speaking, even if you need to add English (or whatever language) words into your Croatian, just to get you speaking. Thank you, Tihana

I recommend setting aside approximately 3-5 hours per week for this course. This includes watching lesson videos, participating in interactive assignments, and engaging in peer discussions.

Additionally, our dedicated Facebook group is open all week for any immediate questions or discussions.

What are the requirements to join the course?

To get the most out of the Croatian Heritage Reclaimed, it’s recommended that you have at least a basic understanding of the Croatian language.

The enrollment process begins with the option to sign up directly or schedule a discovery call.
