Here are some tips: Despite looking and sounding similar, the letters Č and Ć actually have nothing to do with one another. In native words, wherever there is Č, there will usually be a related word that has a K or C (ručni - ruka, učiti - nauka, pričati - prikaz), and wherever there's Ć, there will be a related form of the word with T (braća - brat, maćeha - mati), for suffixes there is no help, you have to learn them. The glyph Ć is really unfortunate. It was borrowed from polish orthography where it makes more sense. If there is one thing I'd change about Croatian, I'd change the letter Ć to something like Ť or Ŧ. For DŽ and Đ it's the same story, they have nothing to do with one another. Đ comes from D, so there will usually be a related word with D. DŽ, on the other hand is not a native Croatian phoneme, so almost all words with it are loanwords. It can only sometimes appear because of voicing assimilation (like in "udžbenik" or "promidžba"). (Fun fact, the letter F is also not native to Croatian, so almost all words with it are loanwords) For loanwords, depending on the language they're from they usually contain only one of each pair: for English loans it's always Č and DŽ, for Italian loans it's always Ć and Đ, for Turkish loans it's usually Ć and DŽ, for Hungarian loans it's usually Č and Đ. As for verbs with prefixes, they are equivalent to English phrasal verbs. Think of the difference between "to throw" and "to throw up".

@kaewakoyangi8071

"Ć" should actually be written "tj", as in Swedish, and đ as "gj" like they do in Albanian ("gy" in Hungarian). Of course ť and ď would also do, but this is not Slovakia.

Hi, Sarah! It is amazing listening to you speaking so fluently our language, even with proper use of accents which I find the most demanding task for strangers. You understand problems of grammar very well and it must have been a hell lot of efforts from your side to conquer our difficult rules of speech. Congrats on that, honestly! It is felt in your videos that you have tremendous will and determination to present our country and folks in the best way and you are making this very well. There is no doubt at all that you have invested enormous energy and time, but we see in your example that there is strong love standing behind it as well. So thank you for your videos, you make us happy and proud people here, and keep on making new clips, they are simply gorgious!

Nema na cemu

i'd like to give a little tip on the Đ/Dž ordeal -- they're usually the same sound in colloquial speech. their main purpose is to distinguish foreign words from native ones. for example: grožđe (grapes) and hrđa (rust) are native croatian words; nindža (ninja) and džem (jam) aren't. my recommendation is to pronounce it all like you would J in english. also, in most spoken language dialects, Ć and Č are the same sound too due to a merger. in standard speech, however, they tend to represent how the word was made: Ć is T+J, while Č is K+J, but sometimes it really just is how it is. it's pretty hard to know why and how unless you get into the detailed linguistics of it (your children will in school so you might even learn something alongside them) and/or learn word by word as written, but if you never do just don't worry and simply pronounce them both the same way, as most of us do, and turn on autocorrect for spelling correction, again, as most of us do. :') another thing: pronouns and word order are very useful for emphasis. this is something you'll eventually pick up intuitively, word order wise, but: baka mi radi pitu. / baka *meni* radi pitu. = grandma is baking me a pie. / grandma is baking *me specifically* a pie. if you want to emphasize the person, use the prolonged pronoun. hope this helps a tad bit. you're doing extremely well for an english speaker and i wish you equally great progress onwards. sretno ti bilo :)

@@RoyalCroatianTours Great, thank you! It’s also really good practice for me (and I’m sure for others) trying to improve my own Croatian skills :)

I'm glad I found your channel :) I'm Italian with some distant Croatian roots (that is to say, none in my family speaks Croatian) and I recently decided to give the language another try after leaving it aside for years. I was very disappointed by the scarcity of online resources, especially from big and popular apps like Duolingo, so I'm putting together my own "textbook" from KZread and other media. As other people already pointed out, your Croatian is very fluent and sounds very clear and understandable, and English subtitles make it almost immediate :))) Puno hvala!!!

From Russian as a base you can understand a large part of any Slavic language (some will not agree,but russian is the base for all slavic languages.) The trick is to use some archaic expressions or similar words that on occasion have opposite meaning,but still you can get the point. I.e. dažd in russian is rain, in north croatia dežđ is also rain. That is why I had no problem learning russian and slovak and understanding any other slavic language.

If you know Russian then it is easier to catch Croatian and understand it. Reason? Because of all Slavic languages, Croatian and Serbian are the closest to an old Slavic /old church Slavonic language. Many our Slavic cousins moved forward and developed their language while still (not that often, use old words), and that is why for example Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Czechs, Slovaks, etc can understand us much better than we can understand them...

Good job Sarah I don't know why I haven't seen this video earlier but all i can say is that I'm so proud and for the first time seeing somebody new speaking Croatian like this it's just beautiful and heartwarming thing to see. I hope that you're having a great time in Zagreb and I will for sure check more videos of you :D

Thank you so much for your sweet words! Yes, I'm so happy my kids have picked up both languages. Especially because my family in Canada doesn't speak a word of Croatian (since my roots aren't Croatian). Although it wasn't as easy getting them to speak English as I thought it would be. It took some time and work, but now they're great in both languages!

Amazing... I don’t know how old you were when you came to Croatia but am talking from a personal experience when I moved from Croatia to UK with my family when I was 15 and it took me good few years to understand a language completely... Well done 👏🏼

What an inspiring video! I can't explain how maddening - but also rewarding - it is to learn Croatian. I am a son of Croatian immigrants and was surrounded by the language growing up. But as I got older, I quickly became rusty and found myself tongue-tied in conversation. Because my folks now live in Croatia and I visit often, I became motivated to improve. What a journey. I have repeatedly taken three different home instruction courses. After much trial and error, I have finally progressed so that I am more confident in conversation and can read and write some. You are right. As intimidating as Croatian can be, it is also a beautiful language. When you first began speaking, I assumed you were a native speaker. Learning Croatian has also motivated me to learn more languages. While I can't speak to the difficulty level of other languages, I have feeling that if I can decipher Croatian then others may not be as hard. Fewer cases I hope!

@RoyalCroatianTours

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I still get frustrated by it! lol but I do love learning the language. That's great that you're able to visit often and put your hard work to practice. I definitely underestimated how long it would take me to learn. I figured I'd be fluent enough in about a year - ha ha ha ha ha. But slowly, day by day, I improved. Here I am, almost 9 years later. I haven't been able to put much work into improving over the last 5 years as I have 3 small kids (5, 3, 1), but I'm hoping to find the time to take a class to improve my grammar situation, sometime over the next year or so ;) I think you're right... if you can get through Croatian, other languages might come more easily (I think and hope :).

Any kajkavians especially or some chakavians too, because their native tongue doesnt have č and ć just č )(in kajkavian) Thats bacause when the western south slavic languages split heres how it went; First shtokavian split from the chakavo-kajkavo-slovene branch (Ill call it CKS) Next, the CKS branch split into Chakavian and Kajkavo-Slovene In the end, Slovene and Kajkavian split from each other So all the shtokavian speeches and of course all the standard languages in the Western Balkans are one branch, and Chakavian,Kajkavian, Slovene are another Croatian is not one language technically, its made up of 3 different ones. A Shtokavian Croat whos never heard Kajkavian before aint gonna understand too much lol

Absolutely amazing!! Totally impressed by your knowledge! Just keep in mind that your Croatian is still better than most Croats' English! Keeping in mind how much harder Croatian is to learn. Not only that! Your understanding of our grammar is, without a doubt, way better than the majority of Croats' knowledge of their mother tongue! Speaking aside. Also, volume! There's LJ for you. I think it sounds the same in that word. Keep having fun mastering your Croatian! You're so close!

I am super impressed of your mastery of the Croation language and am super jealous! My wife's parents are from Bjelovar and Velika Pisanica so the Croatian culture has been a big part of our heritage. After we came back from my first ever (My wife and son's were there in 2011 without me due to work) tour of Europe as a supporting parent of the Milwaukee Croatian Junior Tamburitzans, I decided that I needed to learn the language. I attended monday night language classes at St. Augustine church in Milwaukee for 3 years and it was one of the most rewarding yet frustrating things I have done. I had a fantastic teacher and a fun group to learn with. Wow is all I can say, and not even in Croatian. I don't know how you do it and at this point I have to say for myself that maybe I will try again when classes resume.

However, for the last year I’ve been learning online and I’ve definitely improved. What really surprised me was how much of your Croatian I understood! Also, almost every issue you have I have the same with Slovak and every reason you have to love Croatian is the same for me with Slovak.
