Our Croatian speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
These Croatian lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Croatian by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Croatian to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Croatian culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Croatian exam.
These lessons in Croatian are meant for those that feel that learning Croatian would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone Croatian and e-mail Croatian skills for communicating, as well as survival Croatian if a short visit to the country is needed.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Croatian, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Croatian lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Croatian Lessons or Small Group In-Company Croatian Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Croatian can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
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."
Long Island
One of the most densely-populated areas of the USA, Long Island stretches over four counties, with a total population of around 7 and a half million people - in fact, if Long Island was an independent country, it would be in the top 100 most populated nations in the world, between Israel and Switzerland! Each county has a different ethnic makeup -Kings County has a high Afro-Caribbean and Hispanic population, while Queens County has a much higher proportion of Asian immigrants. Between the four counties over 100 languages are regularly spoken, making it a truly cosmopolitan state and a fantastic city in which to learn a new language.
