This module is designed for students and staff who are curious about the Romanian language – whether you are preparing for a mobility programme at “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iași or simply want to start learning Romanian on your own. The course is an introduction to Romanian as a foreign language, organised in 8 units covering elements from A0 to A2 levels with elements of the B1 level.

Each unit is structured to take around 1 hour – 1 hour and a half of study and includes:

·     A video lesson to guide you step by step – between 30 and 40 minutes;

·    A Vocabulary sheet to help you learn the key words and expressions; you will find it helpful to have this document handy when starting the practical activities;

·  A Worksheet to practice and apply both vocabulary and grammar (audio exercises are also included), with

·     An Answer Key;

·   A Self-assessment quiz available via Google Form, with a link and QR code included in each “UNIT Contents” section – your results come automatically immediately after submission, along with the correct answers.

 No prior knowledge of Romanian is required.

Each unit starts from the very basics and also introduces cultural elements to give you a ‘taste’ of Romanian life and help you understand a few specific Romanian cultural elements. By the end of this module, you should be able to pronounce Romanian correctly, greet people and introduce yourself, ask and answer basic everyday questions, recognise and – hopefully – use elementary vocabulary such as numbers, food, school places, transportation, clothes, time expressions, and city navigation, as well as use some common verbs in the present, future, conditional and past tense.
