You want to learn Croatian, because you …

want to talk to the people who matter most to you in their language — your partner, the Croatian family, your grandparents or cousins, the ones you still just smile and nod at while everyone talks around the table.

live in Croatia or are moving there soon — and want to handle daily life on your own: ordering at the bakery, talking to your neighbour, dealing with the authorities, without anyone having to step in for you.

want to experience your trips to Croatia more deeply — haggling at the market, reading the menu in a restaurant, getting into conversation with locals, instead of disappearing among the tourists.

    But right now …
    … it's running exactly the other way round.

    • you don't dare to speak — afraid your grammar is wrong and the words will fail you mid-sentence.
    • you lack structure — you learn a bit here and there, but it doesn't build on itself and you never feel like you're really getting anywhere.
    • Croatians switch to English right away the moment you finally dare — and you land back at zero instead of getting better at your Croatian.
    • you've tried social media, YouTube, books and language schools — but grammar stays a mystery and the vocabulary you learn you never need in daily life or forget straight away.

    The Complete Croatian Program

    … from your first words to the phrases you really need — and with a method that, instead of school grammar, relies on 20 years of real learning data.

    Understand the language around you

    You read signs at the roadside, decode the menu without a translator app, and catch what everyone's laughing about at the family dinner.

    Structure from day 1

    No back and forth between three apps, two YouTube channels and an old textbook — every day you know exactly what's next.

    Grammar you really understand

    Croatian has seven cases. I explain the complete grammar to you with clear explanations, plenty of examples and exercises that lock the knowledge in.

    Find the courage to speak

    You say jednu kavu, molim at the café — and notice the waiter answering with a smile in Croatian, instead of switching straight to English.

    Talk to the people you love

    You wish your grandma a happy birthday on the phone in Croatian, say dobro jutro to your partner in the morning — and his family feels: you've really arrived.

    Experience Croatia as a traveller, not a tourist

    At the market in Split you understand the price, in the Konoba you order the dish of the day, and you chat with the landlord about the weather — instead of using your hands and feet.

    Yes, I want to learn Croatian

    Everything you need to learn Croatian

    Structured, practical for everyday life and based on 20 years of real search data — no more random vocabulary cramming.

    64 in-depth modules from your real daily life

    You learn the words and sentences you really need: at the till, at the family dinner, in the bakery. Plus you get cheat sheets and memory aids for quick reference.

    Everything is interactively playable — you click through, listen, practise right away. No passive watching, no boring reading.

    Overview of the 64 modules in the A1–B1 course

    Complete A1–B1 grammar

    We explain every grammar topic to you short and to the point with examples. Right after, you practise it in the learning games on sentences from real life: you don't just understand why something is the way it is — you drill it until you really know it.

    Complete A1–B1 grammar

    Audio & pronunciation for every word and every sentence

    You can read a word a hundred times — and still not be able to say it. Croatian has sounds that simply don't exist in German or English.

    That's why there's audio for every word, every sentence and every exercise. You hear how it sounds, you train your ear to the stress — and after the first few weeks you notice that you no longer translate sentences word for word, you simply understand and repeat them.

    Audio for every word

    Learning games: this is where the real learning happens

    Memorising vocabulary lists doesn't work. Your brain forgets them the moment you close the list.

    You learn vocabulary and grammar in small game exercises — in different orders, sorted by topic, and repeatable as often as you want. You set your pace, you decide when to move on. That's exactly how you later recognise the words from any direction.

    Learning games for active practice

    10 mock tests and your croDict certificate on completion

    You test yourself with 10 real mock tests in reading, listening and writing, just without exam stress. You see what sits and what you should look at again.

    In the end you hold your croDict A1–B1 certificate in your hands. Something hardly anyone around you can show — and solid proof that you did it.

    Croatian translator

    Google Translate doesn't know Croatian — at least not properly. You get our Croatian translator, which really understands Croatian grammar: gender, formality, the right word choice.

    CERTIFICATE

    Your personal certificate for completing the A1–B1 Croatian course

    Once you've passed the final test, you get your personal certificate as a printable PDF — straight to your inbox.

    It shows you and everyone else: you've mastered the complete A1–B1 course. Worked through 64 modules. The most important words and sentences for your daily life in your head. 10 mock tests passed. You walk into the official A1–B1 test prepared.

    Print it, hang it up, send it to your employer, send it to your family back home. You've earned it.

    What you might still be wondering

    Is A1–B1 worth it if my basics are still shaky?

    Yes — A1–B1 builds up step by step. We meet you where you are and revise the most important things from the earlier levels before adding anything new. Our way is different: instead of dry theory, from day one you get the words that really count — always with collocations, ready-made mini-phrases you can use right away. Which words those are is no accident: we derive them from the most-searched terms on crodict.com, the biggest Croatian dictionary since 2006.

    How much time do I need per day?

    We recommend around 30 minutes a day — but you set your own pace. In the A1–B1 course you learn over 506 words, split into small sets of 6 words and 3 collocations each (519 sets in total). On top of that come 0 grammar articles tuned exactly to A1–B1. Do more per day and you finish faster — have less time and you take it slower.

    How do I learn reading, listening, writing and grammar?

    Step by step — and never everything at once.

    Reading and listening are part of every module from the start: you see each word, hear it spoken by a native speaker, and read it in real sentences. Writing comes in the more advanced modules.

    And grammar? We explain it to you in plain language to read through — no textbook jargon. Plus exercises where you apply what you learned right away. Instead of dully cramming vocabulary, you learn power sentences — complete sentences you really need in everyday life.

    All of it is practised playfully across 6 different learning games. And at the end you do 10 mock tests that prepare you specifically for all four areas: reading, listening, writing and grammar.

    Do I have to travel or show up somewhere?

    No — the course works from anywhere. At home, at work, on the train, in bed: all you need is your phone or computer and internet. Fixed times, the commute, crowded classes? We put an end to that.

    When can I start?

    Right away — today, if you want. There's no fixed start date and no group to wait for. Straight after payment we unlock the course and you get going.

    How long do I have access?

    For the full duration of your course from sign-up. During that time you repeat each lesson as often as you like — all content is there for you around the clock.

    And what if I don't finish in time?

    No stress. If you need more time, you decide whether to continue by subscription: €14.90 per month, with access to all the courses you've bought, cancel any time. We'll remind you in good time.

    How can I pay?

    Conveniently by credit card, PayPal or instant bank transfer. If you'd rather pay by bank transfer (in advance), write to us at hi@ivana.hr: tell us which course you want to book and which email address we should unlock. With advance payment we unlock your access once the payment has reached us.

    What do I need to do to get started?

    Really just three steps: click the button below, register, pay. Seconds later you're in.

    Can I ask questions if I don't understand something?

    Yes. Just write to us at hi@ivana.hr — we recognise your membership and get back to you, usually within 24 hours.

    Do I get a certificate at the end?

    Yes — your own croDict certificate for A1–B1 by the croDict system. Honestly, no small print: this certificate is from us, it is not a state-recognised exam. If you need an official certificate, you take the test at an official examination centre — and that's exactly what we prepare you for.
