Don't be too hard on yourself! Croatian is a difficult language and different from any language you already know, so it makes sense that you don't progress as fast as you'd like. Keep on learning, and most of all, keep having fun while learning! 😊 I think you're doing great! 💙
Sorry, I never answered this here. I think I never saw it. Thank you very much for your encouragement. I kind of stopped learning grammar by itself. I try to learn it by living the language. Like speaking, reading and listening. I think that works much better now for me.
@@Flauschbally Don't worry, sometimes comments slip by unnoticed 😅 I'm happy you found a new method of learning Croatian that works for you! Good luck! 💙
I'm native croatian speaker and i realy enjoy the way you're struggling with one of the most difficult languages in entire Europe. Im struggling With German which is way difficult than English but not as difficult as Croatian but in comparison with you I do not make any progress. Keep up great job. Pozdrav iz Njemačke.
Hvala ti puno. Drago mi je. Stvarno. That is so sweet of you. I don’t know you and don’t know how far you have come with your German but I realized that I am never happy with my Croatian. I always have the feeling of being a beginner. Not improving. Not progressing. And I could imagine that happens to other language learners as well. Oh yes. Thx for your understanding. I love learning your language. But isuse. It’s so difficult. I would have never imagined. Really not 😂
Hvala. Sounds great. I also think it is a great idea to learn within a sentence. Adjectives I didn't think of. Thank you for this tipp. Yes and definitely separately (possessive and personal).
I would say - don't pay attention to the cases at all. 99% of the time, we will know the context just by the preposition you use (u, na, po, ispod...). I saw your speaking video and I noticed that you really focus a lot on trying to get the case right, but honestly it does not matter. Also don't worry about sentence structure, because Croatian is very poetic so you can reorder the words in almost any way you want.
Thank you very much. Yes. I stopped learning grammar by itself. I try to pick it up by living the language more. When I read, speak or listen. Of course we all want to get it right when we learn a new language but it takes a lot more time then I expected when I started.
german movie with croatian subtitles? even better: croatian movie with german subs? i doubt there's better way. even talking to croats is slower because you don't get instant bilinguality as with subs. but germans/austrians dub, they're not accustomed to reading while watching tv, while croats do it constantly, as we subtitle any foreign lang. i mostly learned to read by my parents speaking the subs from the screen. then i learned english with those croatian words on the bottom of the screen. pre-school and elementary school. also, i had genetic head-start, my parents were teachers....
It would be good if you just try to fix your mind only on one case at first (let's say accusative), and try to recognize those pronouns while reading (and interpret the accusative function for example). That implies that you already know the nominatives well (it would make sense to learn the nominatives from a list)
Don't try to learn all the pronouns together, it's gonna all get mixed up. Make a plan...one month this, next month that.....and learn other stuff alongside, such as vocab. There's just too much to memorize if you only focus on pronouns/grammar and want to complete it.

Thank you madam

I would learn case by case, skip vokative and learn possessives separately (together with adjectives, because they are changing in the same way)

Good luck, you can already communicate in Cro, I've seen the speaking video :)
Thank you very much. Yes... there is progress. Slowly but there is. 😊

Thx. I am not studying them itself anymore. I try to learn them by reading and speaking. That works better for me.

🤣🤣 Thx. I have given up learning them. I try to learn them in context by reading and speaking.
