Sažetak
Communication in the English language is a skill that tourism professionals need to master in order to avoid language barriers and potential misunderstandings, as well as to communicate successfully with their guests. Tourism professionals encounter different language barriers when translating local expressions into English. For example, there are numerous local expressions that cannot be translated into English literally, especially those referring to the dialectal speech of the Split area called 'čakavština', which is included in the cultural heritage and represents an intangible cultural heritage.
