English is well spoken in many shops, bars, restaurants, etc., but we thought that it could be helpful to know some basics of our Croatian language.
Croatian diacritical signs:
Č ( it is the ch of coach)
Ć ( a softer form of c)
Ð ( it is the g of general)
LJ ( similar to the li of Franklin)
NJ ( like the n in the russian word niet )
Š ( like the sh in shopping)
Ž ( like the j in the French word jour )
