Does this sound familiar?
- You’ve wanted to learn Croatian properly for years — but you’ve never found a starting point that actually sticks.
- You want to reconnect with your Croatian roots — to belong on this side of your family, not just visit.
- You understand more than you can say — your ear gets the meaning, but the words won’t come out when it’s your turn.
- You’ve pieced things together from books, social media, and YouTube — and none of it ever added up to real progress.
- And the part that hurts — your family expects you to know it. “You’re Croatian, aren’t you?”
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
The Ivana Croatian Crash Course is a 12-week course you play at your own pace. You take a short test, tell me where you stand, and I open up exactly the right starting point for you.
So what will you actually be able to do?
- Hold everyday conversations — family, ordering, getting around, small talk.
- Understand what’s said to you, instead of catching only every tenth word.
- Stop guessing at grammar — finally know why the endings change.
- Build a real foundation that keeps growing toward B1 and beyond.
From your first word to a real conversation — with a plan that always knows what comes next.
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.
“Wait — do you speak Croatian?”
“Hold on — where did you learn to
speak like that?”
Everything you get
You start the moment you sign up — in your browser, no download. About 15 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.
- 22 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 560+ 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?

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 understand Croatian but can barely speak it — is this for me?
Yes — that’s the most common starting point here. You have the ear from growing up; what’s missing are the words that come out. That’s exactly what the course is built for.
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 — family, ordering, getting around, 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 15 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.
