My best friends here in the US are four giant Croatian-American father and sons whom I have known since 1986 (Persian connection). I visit them regularly every month, but I never learned a Croatian word. This is the first time I see this useful video with a beautiful Croatian lady. They have invited me to go to Croatia (he has a restaurant in Split) which I am planning to go as soon as the virus is out. So, thank you so much for this. I have to learn the basic.

Great job. I have already spoken Czech, Polish and Ukrainian for many years and found this to be more of the same family. Croatian is beautiful language laced with loads of rich words! This teacher does a very good job of making sure that you hear the word spoken correctly and that you really understand the meaning as well.

Your transitioning between talking to foreigners and quickly going in character like speaking to Croatians is fantastic. Very enterntaining and good. Great video.

[krisjustin]

You have a clear, interesting way of teaching Croatian! Your personality comes through nicely as well and keeps our attention. Really appreciate this great video!

[briantorsell]

I'm going back to Croatia for the first time in 10 years next month. Thanks for the refresher!

As a slavic speaker.
My speculation is that “Kenova” is a mix of italian and croatian and literaly translates to “what’s new.” Ke is from italian Que and probably means what and Nova means new in every slavic language and as slovak is closer to croatian than I thought I suppose it’s the same there too.

[mortis]

Idk what am i doing here as a Croat, but you're an amazing teacher!

[olivermandalamwambazi]

I am in Croatia Zagreb. Great and nice people.

Croatian language in 🇭🇷1558. was named ❤" Mother of all Slavic languages". ❤
Croatian language became one of the official languages in Western universities at that time. Every single slavic student had to speak croatian language in order to study in any Western university.
That is why Faust Vrančić published the first Dictionary of the croatian language in 1595 🇭🇷 and Bartul Kašić published the first croatian grammar in 1604. 🇭🇷.
Croats are the first Slavic People to publish book in its language in 🇭🇷 1483 " Misal po zakonu rimskoga dvora"

I just came back from Croatia having had dental implant as it costs much less than in the UK. I fell in love with the country and its people. I'm going back in three month's time for a follow up. I'm trying now to learn the language. Am told it's difficult. But I believe with a bit of effort and motivation nothing can stand in the way of learning it or indeed any. I'm multilingual. So hope this will help. I'm glad I've come across your channel . Just subscribed. wish me luck 😍
