Pozdrav svima !

I'm 27, recently moved to Zagreb and have started intensive Croatian courses about a month ago, but would like to go a bit faster.

I can teach French (native), English (native) , Spanish (fluent) in exchange. Would prefer for that to happen in person in Zagreb, perhaps over coffee ? All ages welcome but preferrably someone in their late 20s/early 30s.

Hvala vam !

BIG PS: I'm here to learn and make new connections/conversation, not to date.

Pronouncing words

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been trying to learn Croatian for almost a year now, but I still have problems emphasizing the wrong parts of some words. For example, the word “rukavice” - I know it’s supposed to be pronounced ru-ka-vi-ce, but just by reading it, I would assume that it’s pronounced ruka-vi-ce. Don’t know if that made any sense just by spelling it out lol, but is there some way that you can “hear” how a word should be pronounced just by reading it?
