Language without culture is just grammar gymnastics. I teach Croatian through stories, songs & soul—because understanding why people speak the way they do is the key to speaking like they really do.

In most languages, "hope" is something you "have", like a possession. But in French you can also "guard" it, like a letter you never send but always carry. In German, you can "draw" it, like water from a deep well. And in Japanese you can "embrace" it, like a baby in your arms. Beautiful, isn’t it?

Well said. Translators do so much more: we translate meaning, emotion, culture, tone, in all their nuances. And to be able to do that, you have to actually understand language.

Attended ELISION’s stunning MSU concert (thank you 🇦🇺 Embassy).
Language, like contemporary music, is structure, chaos, and meaning between the lines.
That's how I teach Croatian — for anyone seduced by sound or syntax.

When we reduce language learning to mere acquisition - we miss the magic of those midnight conversations where two cultures dance together, the joy of making someone feel at home in their native language...
Languages aren't about how many you know -
They're about how many hearts you can touch.

Created a free lesson to introduce my langauge teaching method and my new program. Very excited about it.
If you'd like to join here's the link: talktimecro.com/levelupcroat...
The method married the usual langauge component but adds focus on learners and their identity in new langauge.

If you want to speak Croatian, you have to start.
Waiting for fluency won't create it. The language skills you dream of begin with one word.
Break the silence. Challenge the doubt. Bet on your ability to learn.
The only thing standing between you and Croatian is the courage to take the first step.
