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, 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 English. Please note that Croats are always eager and ready to help. Have a good holiday!

If you would like a bit more help online, Google Language Tools do now offer Croatian to English translation (and vice versa) of both text and webpages. Eudict is a great online dictionary offering comprehensive translations.
