How do we teach?

We take what we do seriously, here a few points on our approach to teaching:

QUALIFIED TEACHERS

All of our teachers have studied languages (or education) at university level and are fluent in English and/or German. Most of our teachers work full-time for Let's Learn Croatian, while several work part-time while completing their university studies.

TEACHING MATERIALS

We create our own teaching materials and try to make the learning experience as interactive as possible with lots of exercises, dialogues and examples. Our emphasis is on communication and on how to speak Croatian in different situations.

SPOKEN CROATIAN

Students learn quicker by hearing as much Croatian as possible. Whether you have prior knowledge or not you’ll hear/speak Croatian in your lessons from the start. You'll be amazed how much you can communicate after just a few lessons!

TEACHING METHODS

We are constantly developing and evolving our methods and approach. We respond to the needs of our students, adjust our program to their goals and are grateful for their suggestions and ideas. All of our methods & materials follow the CEFR.
