Say It with a Š! Unique Croatian Letters for Kids
Croatian isn’t just another language it’s full of sounds that feel fun to say and easy to love. One of the coolest parts? The alphabet! Kids learning Croatian will meet special letters like Š, Č, and Ž, which make this language extra exciting.
Meet the Cool Croatian Letters
Here are a few favorites:
- Š sounds like “sh” in “shoe”

- Ž sounds like the “s” in “treasure”
These letters pop up in everyday words. For example:
- šuma – forest
- čokolada – chocolate
- žaba – frog

Kids love these letters because they’re different—but not difficult. Learning how to say them helps with pronunciation and builds confidence fast. And they often appear in playful, common words.
