Notes
Feel free to use this work in any way, but please acknowledge the source if you republish it elsewhere.
I'm not a professional language teacher, and I would be grateful if anyone points out any errors or ways to improve this small 'course'.
If anyone is interested, we can translate this to other languages (e.g. German, Spanish, etc.)
I recently acquired Croatian citizenship and I would be very much interested in a Spanish version... your course is excellent.. please write me...
ReplyDeleteThe Spanish version is under way! I cannot write you, I don't have your e-mail address. Please contact me over the FB page. lp
DeleteJust to let you know that the "205 Essential Verbs" file is not available.
ReplyDeleteYes, OpenDrive, which hosts it, was under maintenance. Please try now. Lp
DeleteThe 205 verb list is down
ReplyDeleteYes, problems with OpenDrive :(
DeleteJust noticed that there is an error. If you are moving through the lessons' list at lessons 26-30 and you click the next page button, it will direct you to lessons 36-40 instead of 31-35. The only way to acces 31-35 is by going backwards from 36-40, this made me skip some lessons by mistake.
ReplyDeleteYes, the problem is with Google (this page is done on Blogger) and I have been struggling with that for some time and simply cannot fix it. I will likely switch from auto-generated index to a custom index page soon, but it requires... some typing :(
DeleteI'm sorry. lp
Pozdrav!
ReplyDeleteWhen I try to download the PDFs, it says that download permissions aren't enabled for the file (both blog as PDF and the essential verbs). Do you know how to fix that? Thanks in advance!
I don't know at the moment. Try later, that's the best suggestion. I use the OpenDrive service and they have problems sometimes. Also, the online site has many updates not available in the PDF yet. The updated PDF will be available in some months
DeleteDoes this great work come
ReplyDeleteprinted.
no, for two reasons. First,it's not finished yet. There's a PDF you can download and print it if you really need it.
DeleteHi! I really like this course. It's helps me a lot thru out my stay here in Croatia and to communicate to my husband's parents who doesn't know how to speak English. Thank you for this wonderful course Daniel.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I'm glad you find it helpful. :)
DeleteHi Daniel! Love your site, it’s great to return to it after years (I used your blogspot site).
ReplyDeleteI see that the links are down, do you have the originals? Thanks again!
Uh, I'm sorry, this page is visible only from mobile phones and such devices so I tend to forget about it!
DeleteI've updated the page, but please don't download anything, as the online version is much improved, in comparison to the offline PDF, which is from 2019! There were numerous additions, new examples, corrections etc meanwhile.
I am hoping to move to Montenegro in the next few years and yor course is excellent, thanks
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to adopt from Serbia and just discovered this page. If my dream comes true, this site will be priceless. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Just be aware there are some small differences between the actual speech and I could miss some detail from Serbia because I live in Croatia. Good luck!
DeleteHvala! I'm visiting Croatia on holiday, and this was very helpful to understand some of the basics. Even though almost everyone in Hrvaska speaks English, they've also been happily surprised to have an American say a few works in Hrvaski.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Also, you'll see that most signs in tourist areas are in English too. In fact, some are in 6 or more languages, from Czech, Hungarian to Italian.
DeleteBut understanding something is ofc very useful.
Feel free to ask anything!
Also, be aware that Croatia is basically a small and poor country.... lp Daniel
(PS we write names of languages in lowercase (hrvatski), like Italians and Germans)
Hallo, do you know where I might find someone who speaks Hrvatski that could help me correct flashcards? I've been searching for a long time and I can never meet anyone that doesn't speak Serbian or says that they're Balkan.
ReplyDeleteHi, your website is amazing and helping my learning a lot. I would like to access to the cheat sheet link but it is not available anymore. Could you maybe update it once again?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much in advance!
