Croatian Language Survey | Share Your Experience

How is the Croatian language being learned, used, and passed on within Croatian communities around the world?

Please take a few minutes to respond, and share the survey with your family, friends, and fellow members of the Croatian community.

The Council of the Government of the Republic of Croatia for Croats Outside the Republic of Croatia (2026-2030 term) has launched a survey to better understand interest in learning Croatian across the diaspora. The Council’s U.S. representatives include ACAP President Nikola Meteš and ACAP board members Alen Juginović, M.D., Ante Jakic, and Peter Hazdovac.

The results will help shape concrete proposals to Croatian institutions to strengthen Croatian language education abroad, including more in-person and online courses, educational materials, exchange programs, and scholarships for children, young people, and adults.

Your experience can contribute whether you:
🔹 currently speak or are learning Croatian
🔹 studied Croatian in the past
🔹 learned Croatian through your family or community
🔹 would like to learn Croatian in the future

No knowledge of Croatian is required to participate. The survey is brief, and it’s available in English, Croatian, and Spanish. The organizers are aiming for at least 2,000 responses to build a broad and representative picture of Croatian communities abroad, so every response matters.

📅 Survey closes: November 30, 2026
