The Croatian language

Croatian is part of the language family of Slavic languages.

🌐 More than 300 million people worldwide speak a Slavic language as their mother tongue.
Often speakers of different Slavic languages can (more or less) understand each other.

🌍 For example:
Up to the breakup of former Yugoslavia, Croatian was one part of the “Serbo-Croatian language”.
Until now speakers of Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian can easily communicate with each other in their native languages – and understand each other without greater problems.
Of course, from time to time one of them would need to clarify some specific vocabulary.
But, if you start out learning Croatian, you will have no difficulties in diving into Serbian or Bosnian afterwards.


Let's start our journey with learning our first words – in six different Slavic languages!

Did you realize how similar the words are?
Well, of course, we picked words that are pretty similar in the six languages ...

And please, be aware that Russian and Serbian are written in Cyrillic – since this is the Croatian grammar we provided you with a romanized transcript in the table above.
