Does this sound familiar?
- You’re planning the move to Croatia — region picked, plan set — but the language you keep putting off. And deep down you know: without it, you’ll feel lost from day one.
- You’ve just arrived. A lot still runs in English — you live here, but you feel more like a guest than someone who truly belongs.
- You work in Croatia. At work English gets you by — but the real conversations happen in Croatian, and you miss those. Your colleagues stay polite and friendly. But not really interested.
- Whichever situation you’re in: English is enough to get by. But not to belong.
You’ve probably already met me.
On TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook I teach Croatian every day — one word, one verb, one sentence at a time. 58.954 of you follow me. And the comments are always the same: “Where can I learn this properly? Do you have a real course? How do I finally start learning Croatian?”
So I built one — a real web app you actually play. I teach you Croatian the way it really sticks: in the right order, with sound, with repetition.
And behind me stands croDict — the #1 for Croatian since 2006, with 25 million real searches behind every word I teach you first.
The Ivana Croatian Crash Course
A 12-week course you play at your own pace, built for your life in Croatia. You take a short placement test and get the path that fits where you stand — whether at zero or brushing up. Until you speak the Croatian you actually need every day.
So what will you actually be able to do?
- Talk to neighbors and colleagues in Croatian — without them switching to English.
- Understand what’s said to you at normal speed — at the counter, in the office, on the street.
- Handle your day on your own — in the shop, at the bank, at the općina — without anyone translating for you.
- Say what you actually mean — and show who you are, instead of stammering with a few scraps.
From your first word to real conversations — with a plan that always shows you the next step.
Why my learners love learning with me
The same three steps, in the same order, in every module.
Vocabulary first
First you learn the words — and you hear every single one. Audio on every word and sentence means you don’t just read Croatian, you know how it sounds.
Then you understand the grammar
Next comes grammar — explained simply and visually, then practiced right away. No tables you read once and forget. You finally understand why.
Then you practice until it sticks
Finally you lock it in by playing. Six games turn vocabulary, sentences, and grammar into something you do every day — and the quizzes show you what already sticks.
Three steps. One result.
“Oprostite, govorite li engleski?”
“Wait — how long
have you actually lived here?”
Everything you get
You start the moment you sign up — in your browser, no download. About 20 minutes a day is enough. The 12-week plan gives you structure; the rest you play.
- 12 modules from A0–B1, vocabulary, grammar, and sentences — so you always know exactly what’s next.
- 6 learning games — so the words stick without boring memorization.
- 21 grammar lessons, explained and then practiced — so grammar finally makes sense instead of scaring you off.
- Practice, listening, reading & fill-in-the-blank tests — so you prove to yourself it really stuck.
- Audio on every word and all 634+ sentences — so you’re understood the first time you speak.
Bonus
- A 5-minute placement test + personal plan — so you start where you are, never from zero again.
- Ivana’s daily reminders — so you actually keep your streak going.
- A completion certificate from Ivana at the end.
Is this course for me?
This course is for you if …
- You’ve moved to Croatia — or you’re about to.
- You already work here and want to stop hiding behind English.
- You’re a complete beginner and want to start properly, instead of piecing it together the hard way.
- You want to learn on your own schedule, 20 minutes at a time — around work and daily life.
It’s not for you if …
- You want someone to pour Croatian into your head while you do nothing.
- You expect to be fluent in a week (please — don’t believe anyone who promises that!).
- You’re not willing to play a few minutes a day on your phone.

Before you start
I’m a complete beginner — is this too advanced?
No. The placement test starts you at zero if that’s where you are. The first modules assume no Croatian at all.
I’ve lived here a while and get by in English — is this worth it?
Yes. “Getting by” and “belonging” are two different things. The course gives you the everyday Croatian that turns polite colleagues and neighbors into real conversations.
I’ve tried apps before and gave up. Why is this different?
Because they gave you pieces, not a path. Every module knows what comes next, the games bring you back, and the quizzes show real progress.
Can I really speak after 12 weeks?
You’ll speak and understand everyday Croatian — neighbors, shopping, the authorities, small talk. Not perfect, not full B1 yet — it’s the foundation you keep building on.
Do I get an official certificate?
You get a completion certificate from Ivana. It’s not an official state language certificate — those come only from the official Croatian examination centers.
How much time do I need?
About 20 minutes a day. It’s self-paced, so a missed day breaks nothing — you pick up where you left off.
How do I pay? Is it a one-time payment?
€69 one-time. No subscription, no hidden costs. Pay by card, PayPal, or SEPA direct debit.
What if I get stuck on a question?
Every lesson explains everything step by step, and the quizzes show you exactly what to review. You learn independently in the app — no waiting for answers.
