The
CROATIAN Language:
Croatian
is the native tongue of more than 18 million people in present-day
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), Croatia, and Bosnia and Hercegovina.
Croatian is not spoken to any extent outside these countries. Croatian
the official language of Croatia and is a dialect of Serbo-Croatian.
Although it is actually one language, Serbo-Croatian is designated
as Serbian when spoken by Serbs (mostly belonging to the Orthodox
Eastern Church) and written in a form of Cyrillic alphabet, but
as Croatian when spoken by Croats (mostly Roman Catholics) and written
in a modified version of the Roman alphabet. A feature that sets
Croatian apart from other Slavic languages is its use of musical
pitch or intonation. It possesses four kinds of musical accent:
two rising inflections, one long and one short, and two falling
inflections, one long and one short. Gramatically, Serbo-Croatian
resembles Polish. Croatian is mutually intelligible with Serbo-Croatian
but there are differences between the two dialects. Differences
such as pronunciation, intonation and word choice. The divergence
in writing is the principal difference between the Serbian and Croatian
versions of Serbo-Croatian. The Pimsleur Croatian course is Croatian
as spoken by Croats. |

Dr. Pimsleur devoted his life to language
teaching and was one of the world’s leading experts in applied
linguistics. After years of research and development, including
field studies of spoken language training with adults, Dr. Pimsleur
created a new method for self–instruction in spoken languages
that is based on the way the human brain takes in language as speech.
Of the several unique features of the Method, two key principles:
the Principle of Anticipation
and a scientific principle of memory that he called Graduated
Interval Recall This is the only language teaching program which
incorporates these essential principles to provide you with the
most easy–to–do, amazingly rapid, and highly cost–effective
learning method available.
