About us
Obrazovalište — a centre of knowledge
A language school and translation agency in Banja Luka. The same people teach and sign the translations, so the terminology we teach and the terminology we translate are not two different things.

How we work
Teaching follows the CEFR scale, A1 to C2, in groups of up to eight and one-to-one, in our Banja Luka classroom and on Zoom. The first two classes are free: the first places your level, the second is a real class from the syllabus, so you decide about enrolling once you already know what the work is like.
The translation side produces certified translations signed by a court interpreter entered in the register, and specialist translations for law, finance and EU documentation. Every text passes two translators — one translates, the other proofreads.
Children from families in financial hardship learn English and German at no cost, in the regular groups, with no separate timetable and no marker of who pays and who does not.
