Hrvatski za strance

KATEDRA offers Croatian language courses for foreigners which combines general course and conversation course. Croatian for foreigners classes are organized as one-to-one courses from beginner to more advanced levels.

The courses are taught by native speakers with life-long teaching experience and organized as follows:

General course

The course includes basic conversation situations (meeting people, socializing, travelling, shopping, eating out) to more advanced skills like reading newspapers, translating and discussing Croatian history and culture.

Thanks to small groups, you will learn Croatian with students of your own age, interests and the level of knowledge. You will spend your time during the lesson more effectively and you will also learn faster because you will have the teacher’s full attention.

Our lessons usually start in September.
