@gvardiol Sorry to tag you in something out of the blue but as the anon asked you about stuff for learning Croatian and I think this might be the best way to get it to them! I also feel like theyâll be other people who want to know, I definitely started learning because of 2018 and I imagine itâs going to happen again.
So Duolingo hasnât got a course (booooooo!) butÂ
Mondly is worth it for the daily lessons, it will give you vocab thatâs completely randomised but itâs still vocab. Premium opens up all of it but it is PRICEY
Drops is my go to, it has topics that you work through in the 5 minutes a day you get (sometimes they give you more as a âgiftâ for like streaks, itâs Christmas or another holiday for example) I feel like this is the most coherent for beginners. Isnât random vocab like Mondly, isnât throw Grammar at you at least not in a âHERE! GRAMMAR!â way
Memrise. Thereâs no official course for Croatian on Memrise but thereâs plenty of courses that teach you words which are important for speaking (3,000 words makes you conversational, and knowing words makes grammar examples way easier to figure out)
Outside of apps thereâs some other useful resources
Croatian reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/croatian/)Â for language learning, specfically the films link they have on their resource list:Â https://croatian.film/en/
If you want to do a course, thereâs also this, which was made with a native speaker:Â http://www.easy-croatian.com/
Depending on how serious you are, hunt Langblr for resource posts and youâll probably be able to books for a reasonable price COUGHFREECOUGH that wouldnât otherwise be readily available. Just throwing Langblr into the search finds you a bunch of neat people tooÂ
And just from someone who learns languages for fun (including Croatian) if you really want to learn beyond the 5 minutes on Drops or the 15 minute lesson then interact with the language in a way that is fun for you. There are sites out there that have recorded football matches (Footballia comes to mind but you didnât hear that from me) maybe try to find some with Croatian commentary, some definitely have Croatian leagues. I learned a lot of my language through songs and watching my favourite TV shows dubbed. Itâs gonna make no sense at first but trust the process. Also if you want to speak then donât neglect your speaking, itâs the hardest part, especially the less access you have to native speakers so even if youâre talking to yourself youâre still practicing.
Okay language nerd out, if you have any questions feel free to pop on my blog and ask themÂ
