The Croatian language is in some ways similar to Bosnian and Serbian but they still have their differences. My father is Croatian and my mother is American. I have visited Croatia many times in my life. I learned to speak Croatian as a child when I lived in Omiš, Croatia for over a year with my grandparents. While living in Omiš, I have picked up the dialect from this small town. I've lived in the United States however, almost my entire life; so I do have a minor accent because of this. I am still however a fluent speaker, reader, and writer of the Croatian language. In this class we will learn every and anything from colors, shapes, number, animals, greetings, to everyday phrases. The sky's the limit! **Please See TEACHER BIO for Announcements and Class Policies**
