There’s a shortcut to Romanian fluency. Well, not really. But there’s a great framework that can get you having comfortable conversations very quickly. You see, people tend to have the same conversations with language-learners over and over. You introduce yourself, say where you’re from, and then probably ask why they’re learning that particular language. And questions, naturally, are a big part of that. The whole conversation is a big back-and-forth of questions and answers. If you want to get yourself speaking automatically in conversations, then you should take a look at the most common Romanian questions and answers. You’ll impress your conversation partner, and with that comes great motivation to keep pushing yourself to... Show more

Why take a Romanian language proficiency test? Well, let me paint you a picture: From the moment you laid eyes on the mountains, villages, cities, and beaches of Romania, you knew it had to be yours. The language took some time to learn, of course, and there were ups and downs along the way. But now you speak Romanian quite well. You read the latest news in Romanian, you have a hilarious Romanian group chat going, and you know more Romanian bands than the locals do. And as luck would have it, one day you hear about a job that you’d love to do—right in your favorite Romanian city. The only catch? The hiring manager won’t even look at your application if you don’t have some kind of Romanian language certificate.Now, this... Show more

Human beings are excellent at noticing patterns. Have you ever seen shapes in the clouds, or noticed "faces" in electrical sockets? That’s your subconscious pattern-matching system working around the clock. That said, if you went and looked at some text in, say, Waray-Waray (a language of the Philippines), you’d probably give up trying to understand it after a short while. In Romanian, though, you start noticing patterns. For example, you may see words that look an awful lot like words in English (or other European languages you might be familiar with). That effect becomes ten times more powerful when you can compare each Romanian sentence structure and pattern to an English translation. You start to quickly see where the... Show more

Romanian verb conjugations are way, way easier than they might appear to be. That's good, too—because they look pretty bad! If you want to learn to speak good Romanian, you definitely can't ignore the conjugations. English doesn't have a lot of conjugations, but you still notice the mistake if someone says "He go to the library." Multiply that by the numerous Romanian conjugations, and it can seem, at first glance, like the language is a minefield just waiting to trip you up.In reality, though, you just need to learn a couple of key patterns. Quite a few of the conjugations are rarely used these days, and in casual conversations, you'll hear the same conjugations over and over again. Table of Contents What Do You Need to... Show more

A sentence without a verb is like a bird without a nest. It wants to fly around and express itself, but without a foundation to rely upon, it's limited. How's your knowledge of Romanian verbs?
