In this episode we journey to the picturesque town of Mošćenice, nestled on the eastern coast of Istria. Explore its rich history, from the ancient Liburnians and the Glagolitic priests to the lasting impact of the Chakavian Assembly on Croatian culture. I share not only the town's deep cultural roots but also a personal story from my childhood—playing the church organ during Christmas in Mošćenice's beautiful Church of St. Andrew. Tune in to learn how Croatian language and traditions are woven into the fabric of this enchanting place.



Discover Croatian: Tales, Traditions, and Triumphs - Ep. 01

Hosted by Tihana Klepač, Discover Croatian: Tales, Traditions, Triumphs is more than a language lesson; it's an immersive audio experience that ties the rhythm of the Croatian language directly to the soul of the country itself. Think of each episode as a focused, thematic walk through a different facet of Croatian life. You might explore the haunting stories of Dalmatian coast writers, unpack the history etched into the stone of a Zagreb cathedral, or understand the traditions behind a village festival. Woven into these narratives are practical, useful vocabulary and phrases directly connected to the topic at hand, allowing the words to stick because they arrive with a story and a context. This approach makes the podcast equally valuable for a complete beginner looking for a engaging entry point and for a language enthusiast seeking deeper cultural fluency. You'll come away from each episode not just with new words, but with a richer understanding of what shapes Croatia-its people, its past, and its creative spirit. The result is a learning tool that feels organic, where curiosity about a place fuels the desire to learn its language, and every new phrase learned deepens the connection. Tune in for a series that builds comprehension layer by layer, celebrating the small triumphs of understanding a new phrase while uncovering the grand tales of a vibrant culture.
