English -> Croatian dictionary

It's summer time... Lots of people are planning to go on holidays to a nice, quiet place with nice sand beaches, lots of sun... Great!!!

But, sometimes there's a small black cloud who covers that great sun and your dreams about holidays... That cloud is - language!

When you travel to a distant place where you don't know the language spoken in that country, you feel uncomfortable, maybe even afraid. Don't be afraid! If you go to Croatia, here's a small dictionary with useful phrases and words. I hope that here you'll find pronunciation of all these words soon!
