Significado

The process of acquiring new languages.

🌍

Contexto cultural

Multilingualism is a sign of hospitality. Croatians often learn the languages of their guests to make them feel at home. Due to the similarity of South Slavic languages, 'učiti jezike' often refers to non-Slavic languages like English or German, as neighboring languages are often 'picked up' naturally. The 'Mother Tongue + 2' policy of the EU encourages all citizens, including Croatians, to 'učiti jezike' from a young age. There is a growing trend of foreigners moving to Croatia and 'učiti hrvatski' to integrate into the local community.

💡

Consistency is Key

Better to 'učiti jezike' for 10 minutes every day than 2 hours once a week.

⚠️

Watch the Case

Always remember 'jezike' (plural) or 'jezik' (singular) in the accusative.
