krv and prst sound almost identical to what a croatian would say except the r is a bit more highlighted in the audio file.
skršten is pretty good except the š is a sh in "shoot" and not an s.
you pronounced štrkljav the english language way of pronouncing, but here "lj" is one single letter, im pretty sure "llama" is pronounced the same way as ljama? dont take my word for it
Well, not bad for a first try. So that was croatian? Ok, good to know, i tought it was swedish, lol XDD
Gotta check how to say llama then! XD

I've found the file you are talking about. So the j is a i. I can't hear any difference between a "latin version": Liubliana

Very interesting. I quite love to learn languages and new sounds!
(And then my memory just delete everything in few days, cursed me! But this is a personal war that i'm gonna win >:D)

I think lj is gli in Italian, as in figlio.

we don't use the j so it changes in every language i hear it. XD

Anyway the waw sound seemed more a regular L. But, hey, the gli is welkome! XD
