Learn Croatian in Zagreb
Croatian language courses for foreigners — CEFR levels A1 to C2, in-person or online, individual or in small groups. Learn the Croatian you actually need for work, permits and daily life.
About the course
Our Croatian programme follows European guidelines and recognised levels of language competence. The goal is communicative competence — enabling you to communicate confidently in real situations: at work, in administration and in everyday life. You develop all four skills — listening, reading, speaking and writing — along with the cultural understanding that makes settling in easier.
Six levels (A1–C2)
Beginner
Basic expressions and everyday situations — introducing yourself, shopping, getting around.
Elementary
Simple communication on familiar topics: work, family, surroundings.
Intermediate
Managing independently at work and in daily life, simpler texts.
Upper-int.
Fluent communication on more complex topics, safety at work.
Advanced
Flexible, effective language including professional context.
Proficiency
Near-native precision and understanding in all situations.
Croatian for a work or residence permit (A1.1)
Under 2026 amendments to the Croatian Aliens Act, knowledge of Croatian at level A1.1 and the Latin alphabet is becoming a condition for extending a residence and work permit. The requirement is being phased in. Our course brings you to the required level — and, because Anparo is first and foremost an occupational-safety specialist, we teach the Croatian you need to understand workplace safety and instructions, not just textbook phrases.
How we teach
We use an active, communicative approach — you are a participant, not a passive listener. Classes run individually or in small groups, and we adapt content, pace and materials to your needs and goals. You learn what you actually need.
Who it's for
- Foreign workers who need Croatian for their job, paperwork and daily life
- Families and partners relocating to Croatia who want to integrate faster
- Anyone learning Croatian for personal or professional reasons
- Companies organising a Croatian course for their foreign employees
