Our native-speaking qualified Croatian teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
Croatian lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Croatian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Croatian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Croatian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Croatian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Croatian.
Those who would benefit the most from these Croatian tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Croatian to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Croatian, as well as survival Croatian should a visit to the country be necessary.
Lessons in Croatian are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Croatian Lesson or Small Group In-Company Croatian Lesson). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Croatian sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.
Croatian Testimonials
"I'm planning a trip around Brazil next year with some friends, and we all wanted to learn some basic Portuguese. Our teacher was great - she made sure we were all up to date and we got better even faster by practicing with each other outside of classes. We can't wait to get to Brazil."
