The core foundation for Compass Croatia hails from offering Croatia language instruction via an international language portal for all languages for several years. After 100’s of students and lessons, we consistently discovered that as people wanted to learn the Croatian language for many different reasons, they also wanted to learn the culture.
As with any language learning, learning the culture of food and beverage, music, entertainment, crime, taxes and numerous other topics can be integrated into the learning process.
We tailor your language instruction to your needs and style. We can provide you homework, or NOT!đAs Croatian, we speak English fluently but also understand several other languages to assist in you learning the Croatian language.

Interesting Factoid!
Croatian has been the official language for 50 years, even though Croatia was founded in 1991! – On June 25, 1991, Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia, a declaration that would lead to the formation of todayâs Republic of Croatia. Identifying Croatian as a separate language was an essential part of this declaration of independence and Croatiaâs definition of its national identity. Croatia was part of Yugoslavia from 1918 to 1991. Croatian had already been declared an official language of this region in 1967 when Croatian was recognized in the Declaration on the Status and Name of the Croatian Standard Language.

NAVIGATING CROATIAN BUREAUCRACY
Ok, so do you want the good news or the bad news first?đ€Ș
Good newsđ° – Croatia is now part of the EU, which it’s intent was to help modernize our government and how it serves it’s people.
Bad newsđ – Becoming part of the EU has made the bureaucracy and paperwork process excruciating. The video parody is not exaggerating!
Good news! đ- Compass Croatia has learned how to navigate the bureaucracy that infiltrates the simplest transaction like getting internet setup in your apartment, working with the post office and customs, to completing the most basic forms like real estate investment and visa applications in our beautiful country.
For this type of service, we required a pre-payment of $25 USD to consult your needs, and then we can estimate the man-hours and skills required to complete your task. $60/hr USD or our 8-hour day rate is $425 plus expenses (travel, gas, food, and lodging if required)
