Why this Romanian beginners book works
Many resources drown you in grammar before you can say hello. This book flips that: you start using Romanian right away, building confidence with clear patterns, model dialogues, and realistic tasks you can finish in minutes.
Each chapter targets one goal—introductions, ordering food, directions—so you learn what you need now. Grammar is kept light and friendly, with plain-English explanations and examples that make sense for a beginner.
- Short, focused lessons you can finish in 10–15 minutes
- Step-by-step progression from sounds to sentences
- Review loops so all key phrases come back in new contexts
The basics: what you’ll learn in the first weeks
Your first sessions cover all the basics: pronunciation, greetings, numbers, and survival phrases. You’ll learn how Romanian spelling maps to sound, so reading signs and menus becomes easier right away.
Next, you’ll build mini-conversations around real situations: meeting people, buying coffee, asking for the bill, and getting around town. By the end of Part 1, you can introduce yourself, ask simple questions, and respond with natural phrases.
- Clear pronunciation and stress (the foundation for confident speech)
- Essential phrases: hello, please, thank you, sorry
- Numbers, time, and dates (so appointments actually work)
- Present tense basics for common verbs you’ll use daily
- Polite requests and short questions you’ll use everywhere

Tips to learn Romanian faster as a beginner
Keep it active: speak out loud, not just in your head. Use the model lines and swap in your own details. The more you produce, the faster you internalize patterns.
Stick to everyday language. Master the 20–30 phrases you’ll use all the time, then layer in new verbs and nouns. You’ll sound natural and stay motivated.
- Shadow dialogues daily to lock in pronunciation and rhythm
- Use spaced repetition for words you actually say
- Pair study with life: order coffee, count steps, label objects
- Recycle: retell yesterday’s dialogue with new details
- Celebrate small wins—consistency for all beats perfection
