@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 theyโll be other people who want to know, I definitely started learning because of 2018 and I imagine itโs going to happen again.
So Duolingo hasnโt got a course (booooooo!) butย
Mondly is worth it for the daily lessons, it will give you vocab thatโs completely randomised but itโs 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 aย โgiftโ for like streaks, itโs Christmas or another holiday for example) I feel like this is the most coherent for beginners. Isnโt random vocab like Mondly, isnโt throw Grammar at you at least not in aย โHERE! GRAMMAR!โ way
Memrise. Thereโs no official course for Croatian on Memrise but thereโs 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 thereโs some other useful resources
Croatian reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/croatian/)ย for language learning, specfically the films link they have on their resource list:ย https://croatian.film/en/
If you want to do a course, thereโs also this, which was made with a native speaker:ย http://www.easy-croatian.com/
Depending on how serious you are, hunt Langblr for resource posts and youโll probably be able to books for a reasonable price COUGHFREECOUGH that wouldnโt otherwise be readily available. Just throwing Langblr into the search finds you a bunch of neat people tooย
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 didnโt 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. Itโs gonna make no sense at first but trust the process. Also if you want to speak then donโt neglect your speaking, itโs the hardest part, especially the less access you have to native speakers so even if youโre talking to yourself youโre still practicing.
Okay language nerd out, if you have any questions feel free to pop on my blog and ask themย
