A Whimsical Journey Through Croatia is more than just a reading experience—it’s an interactive exploration of Croatia’s natural wonders, cultural treasure, and culinary delights. Guided by selected poems from my children’s poetry book Šaljivo putovanje Hrvatskom (A Whimsical Journey Through Croatia), we travel the country engaging with its unique charm at every step.

Each week, I share short poems and dialogues that serve as fun, accessible entry points into the Croatian language. Together, we practice pronunciation, expand vocabulary, and deepen our understanding of the Croatian cases. The poems and dialogues are written in Croatian (with English translations provided), while the accompanying background texts about Croatian attractions are presented in English.
As a special gift, all participants receive a free signed copy of Šaljivo putovanje Hrvatskom—a delightful learning tool and a keepsake to remember your whimsical virtual journey through Croatia.

Students will practice pronunciation—especially the unique Croatian characters—and dive into key grammar topics, such as grammatical gender, numbers, verb categories in the present tense, and both descriptive and possessive adjectives. Along the way, we’ll build vocabulary and deepen our understanding of the Croatian language and the vibrant heritage it reflects.
