Fora mi je 💯 👏

Social media is everywhere: it shapes how we talk, behave, and even think. In this lesson, you’ll step into that virtual world — where friends share, influencers set trends, and likes and follows define what’s cool. You’ll explore how different generations use popular platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, what they value there, and how life online can feel just as real as life offline. Along the way, you’ll pick up some slang, abbreviations, and borrowed English words that shape Croatian digital conversations.
