Priručnik za korekciju izgovora i početno učenje hrvatskog jezika / A Manual for Croatian Pronunciation and Initial Learning of Croatian
Author: Ivančica Banković-Mandić
Publisher: FF press, Zagreb, 2023. ISBN 978-953-175-929-8
A Manual for Croatian Pronunciation introduces the reader to the pronunciation repertoire of the Croatian language through seven parts using the example of the simplified text of the fairy tale about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The text of Snow White has been translated into 18 world languages, so the manual can be easily used even by speakers who do not know enough English. The units are accompanied by sound recordings.
In addition to practicing pronunciation and listening to certain sounds, voice changes and intonations, the manual also provides basic grammatical instructions about the Croatian language and encourages the reader to communicate.
