Reci mi, koga imaš?

Time to do some digging! 📚✍️ Laura has a big assignment coming up for her language class. She has to give a presentation about someone’s family, and what better way to prepare than to interview a friend? She calls Mario to ask if he’ll help out, and he’s more than happy to talk. As Laura begins her interview, she starts learning more and more about Mario’s family. The conversation keeps growing, and the family tree really starts to branch out!

Besides Laura’s discoveries about Mario’s family, we’ll also take a closer look at Luka’s family—James’s good friend from Split. Ready to meet more of our Croatian friends and learn about their families?
