From Mirena

To be, or not to be?
Biti ili ne biti?
==========================
Found a great language exchange website where people post the languages they are able to teach and the ones they want to learn and are then linked with people who are matches. They also have forums and chats. I've got 3 mails out now, I'll let you know what I hear back.

Hi there,

On this page you can find some croatian lessons and how to pronounce words.

http://www.hr/hrvatska/language

Anyway Croatian language is easily pronounced because a letter always has the same pronounciation no matter where it may occur. It should be noted that Croatian language is strictly phonetic, every word being pronounced exactly as it is spelt, following the principle:
"to write as you speak, and to speak as you write". If you stick to this principle, no great efforts will be required to pronounce and read Croatian language. It contains no sounds which are not found in English.
