Introduction to Croatian Resources

Welcome to my Croatian Resources. I decided to write this guide because I wanted to be able to study the language online, however, I could find no real learning examples for this interesting and difficult language available. I have tried to organize this document in a manner that would be conducive of easy learning. It very much throws you into the language using dialogue and mild lessons rather than explaining only the bare mechanics. Or, at least, that’s what I plan for it to do.

Croatian is not an easy language to learn. It is an incredibly inflectional language (see inflection). A person who speaks Croatian alters or conjugates verbs, nouns, and numbers as a function of: seven different grammatical cases, three tenses and three genders. The amount of variation is what makes it interesting and consequently complicated. The alphabet is Latin with only a few additional characters.

Please do take the time to listen to the pronunciation of specific sounds and words.
