There’s a Croatia most tourists never get to see.
It’s the konoba down the side street where the owner tells you how the wine was made. The host who waves you over for a home-made rakija. The old man at the market who insists you try his tomatoes and figs from the garden — and cuts you a slice of pršut while he tells a story.
You don’t get there by pointing at a menu and holding up your phone. Google Translate is great for a sign — but you can’t share a glass with it, laugh at a joke with it, or earn that “ah, you speak a bit of Croatian!” that opens every door.
You don’t need to be fluent for that. You just need the locals’ right words for the few moments that truly make a holiday — and the nerve to say them.
That’s exactly what this is for.
Picture this summer …
You order food and drinks in Croatian — and get a real smile back instead of the tourist treatment.
You check in, ask for directions and handle the little hiccups without reaching for your phone.
You ask the price at the market and pay like someone who knows the ropes, not a tourist passing through.
You chat a little with the locals — and suddenly you’re right in the middle of it, not just passing through.

What’s inside
Built around the situations that really come up on a Croatian holiday.
Greetings, numbers & time
The foundation: how to say hello and be polite, understand and say numbers and prices, and handle times — opening hours, ferry departures, “when does it start?”. Everything that clears the basics out of the way.
Arrival & getting around
From the moment you land: airport, taxi, bus and ferry, asking for directions and finding your way — so the first day runs relaxed instead of stressful.
Where you stay & eat
Everyday holiday life: checking in at your accommodation, ordering at the café and the konoba, reading the menu and paying — at the till or at the market, cash or card.
Sea, sights & free time
The fun part: beach, sea and weather, renting a sunbed or a boat, asking about sights and day trips, and the words for evenings and free time.
Talking with locals
This is where the holiday becomes unforgettable: small talk and meeting people — where you’re from, what you do — plus the all-purpose phrases that save you when the exact word won’t come.
Emergencies
Just in case: what to say when something goes wrong — pharmacy, doctor, asking for help — so you never get stuck and never panic.
Each module stands on its own. You don’t have to work through everything first: start with module one, and you can already use it on holiday.

What holidaymakers say
Every winter I spend two months in Split — and from the very start I learn with Ivana and the holiday crash course. I’m looking forward to many more lovely lessons with you!
two months in Split every winter
Now I know the words that actually help me in those moments. And the course is online — I can open it whenever and wherever I want.

I’ve now been going to Croatia five years running. It’s simply fun to learn the little things and finally chat with the holiday neighbours.

Before you buy
When does the course start and how long does it take?
It starts the moment you sign up. It’s a self-paced online course designed for 12 weeks plus a bonus week — but you set the pace, and each module is usable as soon as you’ve finished it.
I don’t speak any Croatian at all. Is this for me?
Yes. No prior knowledge needed — the course is built for travellers starting from zero. You learn exactly the words every holiday situation needs.
How long do I have access?
You keep access to the holiday course for a year, so you can review it before every trip at your leisure.
How do I pay? Is it a one-time payment?
One-time — no hidden costs, no subscription. Pay securely by card, PayPal or SEPA direct debit.
Will I be fluent afterwards?
No — and we don’t pretend you will. The course makes you holiday-ready: ordering, asking, paying, small talk. Enough to handle your holiday with confidence, not to pass an exam.
I’m flying soon — can I be ready in time?
The whole course runs over 12 weeks, but you learn at your own pace and each module works on its own. If your trip is sooner, start with the modules you need first — greetings, arrival, café, market — and use them right away.
Can I ask questions while learning?
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.
Do I also need the full Ivana course?
No. This holiday crash course stands on its own — it has everything you need for the holiday. If you later want to learn Croatian properly, the full course is there for that.
