My Croatian language online video courses are a great way to start learning right now, at your own pace, and also to use as a support for individual or group lessons because they're packed with information and you can rewatch them as many times as you want.
The video lessons are short and simple, so you can start even if you have only 15 extra minutes a day.
They are similar to my free KZread videos, but the courses have structured and organized video lessons, e-books and quizzes for practicing after each video lesson. They're awesome and if you are considering enrolling, you definetely should! These courses are perfect for beginner learners who are looking to have the best experience in Croatia!

I have been teaching Croatian for English and Spanish speakers for several years, and through that experience have created a simple, fun, and effective way of learning the language, for children, as well as for adults.
Languages are important and they are one of my passions, so I really enjoy teaching and sharing that knowledge.
That is also the reason why I include a short Croatian lesson in most of my KZread videos, so feel free to binge-watch them to learn some new Croatian words and expressions.

    I'm currently in 2nd year croatian but i feel like I might as well be in the 1st month. it is so confusing, I can't wait to compliment my class with your videos...please don't stop! I've found many other croatian channels but none have been updated or they are too simple and not caring about grammar. I have to care cause if I see things spelled differently which they often are then I'm confused so I've learned about cases, future, past, present, comparative, imperative, but you wouldn't think so, I may be able to come up with it if I sit here and think for a few minutes but you can't talk like that! anyways will definitely be looking forward to gledati još tvoj kanal! or would it be gledam, i meant to say watching more if your channel so I think gledati?

    Budem, budeš, bude, budemo, budete, budu is the auxiliary verb "biti" in present perfect . And yes it is more common to use verb biti in present perfect unlike the verb htjeti in present perfect , although it does exist. Htjeti is also auxiliary verb it's just more common to use it as accented imperfect and unstressed imperfect, not in present perfect.
