Summary/Abstract: Language and culture are two inseparable concepts, and a comprehensive study of one must include the other. This connection is evident when learning a foreign language: without acquiring cultural competence, knowledge of a foreign language is incomplete, which is why foreign language textbooks emphasize cultural content. Various approaches to culture have developed in this context. The aim of this paper is to theoretically encompass these approaches, and then to present the status of culture using the method of content analysis. Additionally, the study examines which approach to culture is adopted in three textbooks for the beginning levels (A1 and A2) of Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian as a foreign language.
