I hope this language guide will make your holiday in Croatia more enjoyable. If you are really stuck and have difficulty in being understood or need other language help, please approach a young person as they all understand and speak some English. You can also go to the nearest tourist office, as the staff there will definitely speak reasonable English. Please note that Croats are always eager and ready to help. Have a good holiday!
