ABOUT CROCONNECT

I’m Marta Abicic, the creator of this Croatian learning platform.  My journey with the Croatian language started early, as I was raised in a household where Croatian was exclusively spoken. Under the guidance of my mum, a dedicated Croatian teacher with years of experience in Sydney, my appreciation for the language and culture flourished.

 

​I was introduced to Croatian school during my primary years and attended regularly. In high school, I transitioned to Saturday school, preparing for the HSC in Croatian Continuers. Completing my HSC in 2021, I achieved a Band 6 in Croatian Continuers, ranking first in the state. This achievement was a testament not only to my passion but also to the incredible educators who shaped my learning experience.​

 

Having encountered diverse teaching styles and methodologies over the years, I began teaching Croatian myself in 2023. Working with students ranging from Year 1 to adults, I brought together the best aspects of my learning journey and adjusted my teaching approach to be engaging, simplified, and student-focused.​

 

The idea for Cro Connect was born from this experience. I realised there was a significant gap in the market for self-led, digital, and comprehensive Croatian learning resources—especially for adults balancing busy work schedules who may find it challenging to commit to regular classes. Cro Connect aims to modernise the way Croatian is taught and learned, creating an all-inclusive language hub where learners take the lead, supported by dedicated educators.​

 

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your understanding of the language, Cro Connect offers the tools, resources, and flexibility to make your journey enjoyable and effective. Join us and experience a new way to connect with the Croatian language and culture.
