Abecedica: Learn Croatian ABC
Phonics & reading for kids
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Abecedica teaches children to read Croatian: letters, syllables, words and sentences, step by step, with Ruvi the badger who calls the child by name. Made for families in Croatia and for Croatian families abroad who want their children to read in their heritage language.
Also in Bosnian, Serbian (Latin and Cyrillic) and Slovenian.
WHAT THE CHILD LEARNS
• The alphabet: tap a letter and hear it
• Upper and lower case letters, including Č, Ć, Dž, Đ, Lj, Nj, Š and Ž
• Syllables: MA, MO, MU… hear and find
• Words: read a word and find the picture
• Sentences: word by word, with Ruvi's voice
• A story with the child's name: the child reads a sentence, then says it aloud and hears themselves
HOW IT PLAYS
• Ruvi says the task in Croatian, the child picks a card
• A road with rewards: every finished world brings a star, a trophy, a crown, a gem, a castle and a book
• Whatever the child gets wrong comes back for practice
• Ruvi calls the child by name: recordings of common Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and international names are built in, and a parent can record any other name
FOR PARENTS
• No ads, no subscription, no data collection
• The alphabet and upper and lower case letters are free; syllables, words, sentences and the story open with one purchase, forever, for the whole family
• Settings, the purchase and links sit behind a parent gate
• Works offline
The badger speaks Croatian only; the interface is available in Croatian and English. We make Abecedica for our own child and read every message: mariyatararova@gmail.com
