*School on Saturday is every second Saturday.
Classes are 45 minutes with 5 minute breaks in between. After the Third class there is a 15 minute break. School ends at different times depending on the day.
I am in the "Bilingual" class but most of the classes are in Croatian. The only ones that are in English are: English, Ethics, History, and Chemistry. The ones that are supposed to be in English are: Physics, Philosophy, Biology, Art and Math. The teachers talk in Croatian and occasionally say a few phrases in English.
Every student in the class has to take all of these, but a few exceptions can be made. Instead of ethics you can take religion (its in Croatian) and there is German and advanced German as well. You can take Informatics instead of French.
Most of my day is spent listening and writing notes in Croatian. (although i have no idea what they say) It can be very boring at times but i hope as my Croatian improves I will be able to participate in the Croatian speaking classes.
Next week I start private Croatian lessons with one of the teachers at the school. He will go over conversations and such first then move on to complex grammar. I will be taking the classes with the other exchange student (from the US) that is in the same town as me.
