🧩 1 | 1 | Lekcija 2: Kako se zoveš? – Vokabular
Države u svijetu
In this video, you’ll learn how to say the names of different countries in Croatian (we picked just a few). Before each country name is said out loud, you’ll first see its flag. Can you guess the country? Then listen carefully to the Croatian name, and repeat it out loud. Be sure to turn on the closed captions to see how each country’s name is spelled in Croatian. You can also pause the video at any time to repeat or write the names down.
🌎 Practice as much as possible and try to remember as many names as you can, but don’t worry if you don’t get them all right away. Every bit of exposure helps!
