PERTH, 23 September 2019 – Whilst these two cute sisters in Australia may not be fluent in the Croatian language, they have mastered the Croatian national anthem.
Chloii (7) & Kaleesi (6) Kukulj-Tinelli dance folklore in Perth, Western Australia and when their teacher asked all the kids to learn the Croatian anthem, it was left to their mum to teach them.
“They practiced at home and in the car. I found practicing in the car the best, we only listen to Croatian music, it’s my way of starting to teach them the language” said mum Lidia. “So, every time when were in the car it was for learning the Croatian National Anthem.”
Chloii and Kaleesi are often featured on their mum’s popular Instagram account, @ilidialove so when it comes to being in front of the camera, they are not shy. In the past they have been featured singing Croatian songs, S Tobom by Franka to Bozic Bijeli by Dalmatino.

Lidia’s method of teaching them the language through music seems to be producing results.
“I love being able to educate my girls about my Croatian heritage & culture. As well as all the other cultures in this wonderful world of ours.
One of the best ways for me to teach my girls the Croatian language is through song. The girls are slowly learning the language, for now they can mostly understand more than they can speak,” Lidia said.
Check out the girls singing the Croatian anthem below after just a couple months practice.
