One of the most important identity features of both a person and a nation is language. Therefore, we have provided free and high-quality online Croatian language courses both to those of our compatriots who have little or no command of the Croatian language and to all other people wishing to learn it.

On the initiative of the Central State Office for Croats Abroad, the courses were created by experts from Croaticum - Center for Croatian as a Second and Foreign Language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb.

In mid-December 2017, a free online Croatian language course of elementary A1 level was launched. Furthermore, a free online Croatian language course of A2 level was launched in mid-December 2018, which is a continuation of the A1 level online course and allows users to further progress in their knowledge of the Croatian language. To date, more than 5,000 users have accessed the courses. More precisely, until 29 February 2020, 3,782 participants accessed the A1 level online course with the English interface, and 1,087 participants accessed the Spanish interface. The participants come from 116 countries across six continents. Most visits came from the USA, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, and Australia. Three hundred seventy-five participants accessed the A2 level online course with the English interface, and forty-eight participants accessed the Spanish interface. The participants come from fifty-six countries across five continents. Most visits came from the USA, Australia, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.

Judging by the positive reactions and comments we received, it turned out that these online courses provide specific linguistic and cultural assistance to our compatriots, members of the Croatian diaspora and Croatian national minority, who need such assistance and motivate them to explore their roots and get to know Croatia and connect to it.

The interface, instructions, and support are available in English and Spanish. You can apply for the online course with your Facebook or Google account.

We are proud to state that both online courses are guaranteed to be permanently free for all participants.
