St. Louis, MO--Nasja Bošković Meyer, Lodge 50, announces the 20th Anniversary of the revised, enhanced, and new edition of the Croatian Language and Culture Books that have been sold in 47 states in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Croatia.

A buyer said of the first edition: "These books are easily the best of the Croatian materials I have. I don't believe one can truly learn a language without first knowing something about the history and culture that produces it. I will gladly recommend these books to others who want to learn Croatian."

Both volumes are available in soft-cover and hard-cover. Each volume includes an extensive English - Croatian Dictionary and a Croatian - English Dictionary, and an audio component -- CD, that helps with pronunciation and reinforces progress in learning.  The books are a dynamic new way to learn about the country and language of Croatia.
