I couldn't speak any English at all. But Ivana explains everything to me in Bengali. Finally I can learn too.
I'm currently preparing for the A1.1 test. With Ivana I feel like I don't have to start from zero.
I work shifts and honestly thought I'd never manage it on the side. But the 30 minutes a day really work — I often do it on the bus on the way home. Thanks Ivana :)
Basically everything you need as a beginner is in here. From greetings to shopping to dealing with the authorities. It really convinced me.
I work at the reception and since the course I understand the guests much better. The audio really helps, because I finally hear how the words actually sound, not just how they look.
Delivery work is much easier now. People talk to me faster and get impatient when I say nothing — now I say something.
First beer with Croatians after work. Didn't understand everything but enough to join in. Language really connects — thanks Ivana!
Reading addresses, signing delivery papers, exchanging the basics with recipients — it all works better now.
Foreign workers are to be required, after one year of residence, to pass a Croatian language test at level A1.1 — as a condition for renewing their work and residence permit.
ivana.hr is not an official prep course. The test is administered by approved Croatian educational institutions.
Everything you need to pass the A1.1 test and handle your daily life in Croatia on your own — for a fraction of what a language school costs.

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 12 modules. 550 words in your head. 890 sentences you can use. 10 mock tests passed. You walk into the official A1.1 test prepared.
Print it, hang it up, send it to your employer, send it to your family back home. You've earned it.
This course is made exactly for you. A1.1 is the absolute beginning — we assume zero prior knowledge. And our way is different: instead of burying you in dry theory, from day one we teach you the words that really matter — always together with collocations, ready-made mini-phrases like “Dobar dan” that you can use right away. Which words those are is no accident: we derived them from the most-searched terms on crodict.com, the biggest Croatian dictionary since 2006. So from the very first minute you learn exactly the words people really look up in daily life — with example sentences you can use straight away.
We recommend around 30 minutes a day — but you set your own pace. In the A1.1 course you learn over 500 words, split into small sets of 6 words and 3 collocations each (89 sets in total). On top of that come 21 grammar articles tuned exactly to A1.1. The whole course is designed for about 2 months: do more per day and you finish faster — have less time and you take it slower.
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 a little later, in the more advanced modules — first the basics should sit before you start typing yourself. That way your confidence grows piece by piece, instead of overwhelming you from day one.
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: at the till, at the office, at work. So from day one you sound like a person, not a dictionary.
All of it is practised playfully across 6 different learning games, so words and sentences really stick. And at the end — before the real test — you do 10 mock tests that prepare you specifically for all four areas: reading, listening, writing and grammar. In the exam room you won't be facing these tasks for the first time — you'll already know them.
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. We know how annoying classic language schools can be — fixed times, the commute, crowded classes, and you still end up late. We put an end to that.
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. Your pace, your time, your choice.
2 months from your sign-up. During that time you repeat each lesson as often as you like — if the verbs are hard at first, just do them three times. All your course content is there for you around the clock.
No stress. Not everyone learns at the same speed — and life sometimes gets in the way: shifts, family, tiredness. If you need more time after the 2 months, 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 so you don't lose a single day. What matters to us is that you really make it — not that you're rushed.
Conveniently by credit card, PayPal or instant bank transfer — take whatever is easiest for you. No paperwork, no waiting. If you'd rather pay by bank transfer (in advance), just write to us at hi@ivana.hr: tell us which course you want to book and which email address we should unlock, and we'll send you the payment details. Please note: with advance payment we unlock your access only once the payment has reached us.
Really just three steps: click the button below, register, pay. That's it. Seconds later you're in and start right away — no complicated sign-up, no phone call, no appointment.
Yes. Just write to us at hi@ivana.hr — we recognise your membership and get back to you with an answer, usually within 24 hours.
Yes — your own croDict certificate. Once you've finished the course, you get it as proof of what you've achieved: your A1.1 by the croDict system. Nice to share, to hang up, or simply to be proud of yourself.
And honestly, no small print: this certificate is from us — it is not a state-recognised exam. If you need an official A1.1 certificate, for example for the authorities, your residence or your job, you take that test at an official examination centre. That's exactly what we prepare you for: with 10 mock tests covering all four areas, you won't be facing the tasks there for the first time.
In short: you pass the official test thanks to the course — the croDict certificate is your trophy from us on top.
One click. €99 one-time. 2 months full access to all 12 modules. Tutor 24/7. And you walk into the A1.1 test well practised.
