Lošinj Spring School

The Croatian Language Spring School offers students a one or two week programme of Croatian Language training.

Students are split into groups per week with a dedicated language teacher for each group and with no more than 7 students per class. The programme caters to students of Beginner to Advanced language levels.

Arriving on Saturday or Sunday, students will settle into their accommodation on the island and meet their teachers and fellow students at their leisure. On Sunday students are invited to attend a welcoming reception.

Tuition will take place Monday to Friday for 5 hours per day, a total of 25 hours per course. Beginning each day at 09.00, the morning classes last 3 hours and the focus is on all four language skills, learning grammar and performing language exercises. In the afternoon, classes start at 16.00 and there is one hour of speaking practice followed by one hour of writing exercises.

Language Tutors
All our teachers are native Croatian speakers with university degree qualifications and are specialists in teaching the Croatian language and giving cultural briefings to non-Croatians.

Method
Using creative methods we develop all four language skills - reading, writing, listening and speaking using authentic teaching materials and techniques such as role play and grammar exercises to reinforce each lesson’s objectives. For advanced level students we review current affairs via newspapers & journals in order to augment the student’s knowledge of the culture and provoke discussion.

Levels
Beginner – Intermediate – Advanced
