Did you know? Croatian is the only South Slavic language to use exclusively the Latin alphabet. It was codified in the 19th century and has very consistent pronunciation rules. Croatia is famously the birthplace of the necktie (the word 'cravat' comes from 'Croat'). The country has 1,000 km of Adriatic coastline and more than 1,200 islands. Dubrovnik is nicknamed 'the Pearl of the Adriatic' and served as a filming location for Game of Thrones. Handball and tennis are national sports, Goran Ivanišević and Marin Čilić have both won Wimbledon.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Croatian

Croatian is rated Category 3 by the FSI (around 1,100 hours for English speakers). The main difficulties are the 7 grammatical cases and the verbal aspect system. On the plus side, the Latin alphabet and the very consistent pronunciation are real advantages. With regular practice, basic conversations are achievable in 6 to 9 months.
Yes. Mastering Croatian gives you a solid understanding of Serbian and Bosnian (together: 20 million speakers across 3 countries). In addition, since Croatia is a member of the EU and the eurozone, its job market is accessible to EU citizens. Tourism, hospitality, tech and real estate are all booming.
Yes. Croatia has been a member of the EU since 2013 and of the Schengen Area since 2023, which makes mobility easy for EU citizens. The cost of living is lower than in Western Europe, and the quality of life (coastline, Mediterranean climate, safety) is excellent. The tech scenes of Zagreb and Dubrovnik are attracting more and more digital nomads.
Standard Croatian is based on the Shtokavian dialect, spoken in Zagreb and Dalmatia. But the coastal regions (Split, Dubrovnik) have distinct accents and vocabulary, influenced by Venetian and Italian. In practice, standard Croatian is understood everywhere. Our lessons teach standard Croatian while highlighting key regional variations.
In-country language courses in Croatia are affordable compared to Western Europe. A language school in Zagreb or Split typically costs between €200 and €500 per week including accommodation. But with Targumi, you learn with native Croatian teachers online at significantly lower rates, with the flexibility to fit your own schedule.
Targumi offers 3 plans: quarterly, yearly, and lifetime access. All plans include live small-group classes with native teachers, interactive lessons, and the community. See full pricing on the pricing page.
100% online. Live classes happen twice a week in small groups via Google Meet. You can join from anywhere in the world. The mobile and web app stay accessible 24/7 for interactive lessons.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

DamienVerified purchase

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
