Years of experience have taught us that the best results in group learning come when the groups are small enough to allow the professor to address each student’s specific needs, while at the same being able to reap all the benefits of interactive conversational learning in group setting. 

That is why CLA’s Intensive Croatian Course groups have:

• • a minimum of 5 participants,
    
  • a maximum of 9 participants.

* If the number of enrolled participants at the start of the course is under the required minimum, the group course cannot start under standard conditions. In such case CLA will offer a modified course for a smaller group with a modified number of lessons, whilst making sure that it is sufficient to achieving the required language level.

The contents and the structure of the course aim to:

• Develop verbal communication skills and strategies
• Build and enable an active use of a wide vocabulary
• Experience the most common social situations through role play
• Develop reading and writing skills
• Address individual grammar and pronunciation difficulties
• Improving listening skills
• Build confidence and skills for participating in discussions

The additional Socio-Cultural Activities aim to give our students the chance to practice their skills outside of the classroom, meet new people, connect with existing networks in helping them to fully experience life in Croatia firsthand.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Use your Croatian language with greater confidence
• Speak more accurately and fluently
• Use a wider vocabulary
• Socialize in a Croatian setting with confidence
• Understand what you read and hear more easily
