Free Online Romanian Language Lessons / Courses
Our Romanian language courses are structured in four categories on the basis of your Romanian language skills: A0:Essential Romanian(24h), A1:Elementary Romanian for beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.
If you do not know in which category you fit, you can take the Romanian language skills test or start directly with the absolute beginner level: A0. Essential Romanian 24 hour course.
We find the pronunciation a very important topic this is why we've build Romanian classes specialized in pronunciation.

Romanian Pronunciation
In each and every lesson on our website you will find free audio samples of the words/sentences you are studying.
However this course on pronunciation is a dedicated one, explaining the pronunciation rules, and grouping similar phonetic Romanian words.
Those familiar with the International Phonetics Alphabet (IPA) notation will be happy to find each Romanian word in all our lessons transcribed into the IPA style. If you are not familiar with IPA, you can just ignore the "funny characters" and listen to the free Romanian audio samples.
Three comprehensive Romanian classes are available:
Romanian Grammar
The Romanian Grammar online course explains the rules governing the grammar as well as providing many examples and exercises.
Even if you, like most people, are not a big fan of grammar, the course helps you understand why certain grammatical constructions are as they are.
We're ready and happy to help should you have questions or need more assistance. Just drop us a comment at the bottom of the lesson that you find difficult.
Currently the following lessons are ready. We are working on more (to be made available soon):
- How to ask a question in Romanian: Interrogatives

All about Romania (e.g. traveling and living)
To learn better Romanian you must know a few things about the country and its people. Moreover if you can settle in Romania, you will be more exposed and immersed in the Romanian culture and language which will boost your Romanian language skills.
This is why we have created a few lessons (most of them following your requests) to help and guide you while traveling through Romania or trying to find a job or a place to stay.
We're planning to add a few more lessons about the Romanian traditions (e.g. cultural, religious, gastronomic).
- Some advice before traveling to Romania (e.g. for tourism, business or occasional stays)
- A comprehensive guide on how to find a job in Romania
- How to rent an apartment in Bucharest as an expat/foreigner

Online Romanian language degree
Hi,
I've been trying to understand whether there are any tests for Romanian such as the Cambridge, Toefl or IELTS for English. Any help would be appreciated.
Online Degree
I've been asked this question in the past, and I remember that the answer was that there isn't a standardized test that can be taken online. I have verified one more time, and I'm afraid that answer is still valid that there isn't one.
There are tests though by universities, but there isn't this concept of accredited college/companies/institutes, since there is no standardized test.
The http://www.ecl.org.ro/index.php?id=home/ offers tests of Romanian based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, at all levels A1,A2,B1,B2,C1 and C2.

Intermediate lessons
Hi,
At the top of the page it says you have beginner, intermediate, and advanced lessons but I can't seem to get to the intermediate or advanced lessons so the link might be broken?

Romanian noun gender and number
How to ask a question in Romanian

How to ask complicated questions in Romanian

With regards to the vocabulary lessons, the Romanian Love lessons:
Romanian love phrases
is actually an intermediary-advanced one
I haven't had the time to create the Intermediate and Advanced levels as containers, but there are already lessons at that level. I'm also planning to add more vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar lessons. I hope to release them soon. And then I'll certainly create the page that groups all the lessons of these levels.
I hope this answers your question.

More Romanian lessons
Thank you Felipe,
I'm trying for some time now to improve some features of the site. This meant I had less time to invest in new lessons. I had a feeling that the current lessons are not good enough and I was trying to make the next ones better (with more interactive content). This is quite an undertaken for my little free time. I might just pause these improvements, so that I can create more lessons.
Happy to help
