Learning Croatian language should be about communication, feeling, and Croatian culture.
In Lj, it is.
Dobar dan!
My name is Marta and I am the founder of Lj. I come from Croatia, from a small town called Koprivnica, famous for Vegeta and LinoLada (check the nearest Croatian store 😄).
I have a Master's degree in Croatian language and literature and Pedagogy from the University of Zagreb. I LOVE teaching Croatian as a foreign language because it gives me new perspectives on the language and it's very dynamic.
Dobrodošli u Lj!
Welcome to LJ, Croatian Language School, where learning Croatian is tailored to your interests and needs, where materials expose you to authentic language, and where your learning process is guided by a professional language educator.
What my students are saying
Marta is an excellent teacher, who understands the needs of her students and applies the teaching accordingly. Marta is extremely professional and very creative in making learning a lot of fun.
Rita (intermediate level)
I like the way Marta explains everything and prepares the lessons, everything is clear and understandable.
Nastasia (beginner level)
Marta is friendly, competent and well organized!
S. (beginner level)
I was immediately drawn to Marta's desire to get us speaking — however sloppily — despite the fact that we were beginners. I was also really impressed with the sheer clarity of her examples and explanations. Overall, it's just always been very clear to me that Marta wants me to enjoy and truly "experience" the language — not just learn it from a book.

Marta may appear a bit shy at the beginning, but she will turn out to be nerdy, witty, open-mined, genuinely curious, and didactically up to date. I have the feeling, we can talk about literarily ANYTHING. As an adult learner, I feel this is crucial since there are questions you just cannot ask a person in the street/a random adult about their culture/customs/behaviors. Just get in touch and get to know her. Every cent/minute you spend on studying with Marta is well invested. :)
Mel (advanced level)
Since Croatian is not an easy language, Marta has the patience and empathy to understand the kind of student she has in front and adapts to their pace.
