Testimonials

The course was great! Very well done and the instructor was excellent and the material was literally fantastic!

The courses seem very well planned and the material provided in form of the books and exercises is very helpful. The beginner course worked well for me and I am a total beginner. I thought that three hours a day might be too little time but they contain a lot of information and were already tiring enough. Our very nice teacher Catalina held very good lessons and always tried to help everyone with their problems. This course sparked my Romanian skills, seeing as they were nonexistent before it. I feel like I have a solid base and very good material to further improve my Romanian in the next year.

We have learned a lot in a short time. As we have practiced the things in the course I really feel secure to have enough practice. The teacher explained very detailed every question of the pupils so that there were no questions left. The best thing was the exercises we did in course. I feel like I have learned a lot without studying a lot of hours in the afternoon by myself. The teacher was veeeery nice.

It was good, much better than our course in Germany. I liked our teacher and the books. Catalina has done a very good job. It was and will be a good start for living in Bucharest.

My impression about my ROLANG course when I book it was that it was very thorough and helpful. It covered a lot of basic Romanian phrases, then helped overcome daily language barrier and it improved also the understanding of the parts of each word making it easier to recall which word to use. This course did help me to improve my skills in Romanian which beforehand were virtually nonexistent and it helped me to be able to navigate my way through a typical day in the Romanian city without difficulty. Along with teaching phrases in understandable parts, it gives background on grammatical pieces making it easier to piece together and conjugate sentences so one sounds educated rather than sloppy.

My impression about ROLANG courses is excellent. Courses were very helpful for my daily contact with people. This course helped me to learn and understand not only the Romanian language but the Romanian mentality and habits as well. After attending only 30 hours I am now able to communicate with local people!

It was a really great course with a great teacher who went at a perfect pace – not too slow, not too fast. I enjoyed the small class size and after two weeks I was surprised that I was already able to have a conversation. It was a great experience with very attentive and professional and amiable staff. I came in with 2-3 words and I left with a lot more. I hope to continue on my own until I can come back. Mulțumesc mult!

Very helpful to improve my skills in Romanian language. Convenient classes as far as the occupancy and the timing. The most pleasant teacher.

ROLANG courses helped me to improve my Romanian with introducing simple ways and grammar which can later on be used in everyday life. It helped me a lot with speaking more politely as well as with a better grammar. It provides knowledge in a short period of time.

The classes are well organized and flexible. The teachers are friendly and experienced.

My impression about the courses was very good because I had an interesting time and my group was very nice because they were nice people and we became friends. Also the most important thing was my teacher Valentina. She was very good at teaching with great abilities and a nice personality. I learned all the bases of the language and it's the most important thing to improve my skill in the future.

I have a very positive impression: good manuals, very professional teacher, nice and friendly atmosphere. You not only learn the language but also receive a lot of useful and interesting information about the country, the city, the Romanian culture.

Dear Mona, I would like to thank both you and Valentina for the quality of the beginner course in Romanian language I attended over the past 2 months. I arrived nearly 3 years ago in Romania for professional reasons and pretty much picked-up my Romanian from pure observation and basic interactions with my work colleagues, day to day situations and friends alike. Yet, I managed to work my way through mainly using English and French languages and the very basics I learned on my own helped me build trust and rapport quite quickly. However it is only since I started studying with Valentina at ROLANG that structure came into place and my progress started to show at a quicker pace. I would recommend anyone who wishes to learn Romanian be it for pleasure, necessity or work purposes to study with ROLANG. Learning in group is a major push as first and foremost you will befriend and interact with internationally minded people who very often are well traveled, are open minded and have experiences to share during the course. Because you will learn at a similar level, you will find it easier to address any hindrance or apprehension you may have and the group will be here to help you make the best out of each session. Very often courses were followed by get-togethers where we had the chance to practice what we had learned the previous hours and make fun of ourselves still talking Romanian. I believe that learning comes from passion and hard work, our teacher Valentina was a crucial element to our success in improving my communication skills and mine in particular. She is calm and collect, encourages each student to speak, correct them in a diplomatic and subtle manner and makes grammar a much easier thing to digest thanks to her ability she has to explain things in layman terms. For sure she added to the necessary emotional connection you need when learning a language which unlike English, French or Spanish is not a lingua franca. At ROLANG, each lesson is designed around a day-to-day situation you have or will be faced to: Greetings, public transports, shopping, meeting friends etc... Because those situations are so basic, you will very quickly integrate both vocabulary and grammar that come within that specific lessons and naturally build upon those. You will even surprise yourself to drop your English so quickly to try your newly acquired Romanian in daily situations. It is consequently no surprise that I have decided to continue to study and work my way up through the advanced levels in order to improve myself in that language with ROLANG.

First of all, I would like to say I'm so glad meet ROLANG teachers in the 32 hours class. I believe that we have improved our skills very well. When I started this class I was almost zero. But now I can understand very well. I need practice which is my problem. I will recommend the course anyone asking about Romanian language. I wish all the best for all ROLANG teachers.

Very good. Professional environment and very comfortable and pleasant. It's a nice studying environment. People were kind and helpful. I learned everything I wanted to learn and more. Our teacher was very good at explaining everything and she helped with all the questions I had. She made the learning process fun and interesting.

I am satisfied with this level. I have had very good teachers and the Romanian language course helped me very much. That's why I've made progresses and I know how Romanian language works. I know a lot of things about grammar, conjugations, conversation. I am now able to discuss in Romanian language and read texts without problems. You cannot lose anything when you learn a new language. I have gained very much learning Romanian language.

Excellent! Teachers have high energy. Serious course in friendly atmosphere.

The course was extremely well arranged, full flexibility, high professional profile, contagious enthusiasm of the teachers who were perfectly in accordance with my needs. I much appreciated the availability to get lessons also (and even) on Sunday, it was perfect for me since I did not have so much time in Bucharest so I had to get the most of my time. Very interesting lessons and very involving, time flies at ROLANG... unfortunately. I feel more confident and I got a self confidence that I was not able to get in 5 years of other (several) Romanian courses. The books provided by the teacher are clear and easy to be understood. The most impressive thing is that once you get in the school you fell motivated by the enthusiasm and passion of the whole staff. Congrats!

It is a very good course. Very helpful. Intensive courses let you learn the language very quickly without loosing information. Very good explaining, everything is understandable from the first time. Lots of activities throughout the lessons, not only theory, but a lot of practice every day. Lessons are also lots of fun!

I found the course extremely useful, focusing on those aspects of the language that can immediately be used by a foreigner moving to Bucharest. The atmosphere of the classes is very nice. The schedule is fairly flexible. Personally I found it important that I got answers for all the questions I asked. Our teacher Mona obviously knows much more about languages and linguistics than an average language instructor, so it was a real intellectual challenge and pleasure.

I took the intensive courses, three hours a day, five days a week and this was the appropriate course for me at the level where I was. What pleased me in particular was that the teacher in the beginning tried to find out very carefully at which level the students are, and then began to teach at exactly that level. She was also very flexible regarding the schedule and very friendly and patient. To be honest, I was surprised how much I learned in just two weeks.

I liked the course very much because of teachers and their way of teaching. Very kind-hearted and clever persons work here. I wish I had gone here much more early. Now I can understand the people in the street and I can explain them something and answer the questions. One more time, thank you!

I came to Romania with a few Romanian words in my mind and now I am able to have a little discussion with the people. It was a very intensive course and we learned a lot in a short time. I like to learn in a little group than in a bigger group as it is in normal school groups. For this reason I have a positive impression about ROLANG courses in general and I will recommend them.

It was much better than I imagined! The class was not too easy and not too difficult. And I've learned and practiced a lot. With a nice teacher and useful text books, I could concentrate on studying on Romanian. When I studied Romanian by myself, I couldn't understand the grammar because I didn't have someone to ask. The course made me want to study much more, too. I would recommend this course to another foreigner because he / she would learn and practice useful expressions and grammar even in the beginner class. What's more, the good point about this school is that they have class courses every month.

My impression about ROLANG courses is very good. At the very beginning I received a follow up right away and constantly. They are very professional, kind and punctual in everything: during the personal treatment and during the classes also. The courses helped me a lot to improve my skills in Romanian. It is good that they have here every type of courses adapted to your needs. Now I can understand a little bit more and I am able to communicate with others and of course I will keep studying with this great basics they gave me. Thank you!

I really enjoyed the way that ROLANG courses were done and the fast way that improves your skills in Romanian language. The manual and the exercises book are written in such way that fast you understand and use them in your daily life. The courses helped me to improve my grammar and my pronunciation. Thank you, ROLANG!

I only had 9 hours of lessons, which is too little to have a full opinion, but these courses were very useful and well adapted to my needs. They helped me to clarify some important grammatical issues and to improve my vocabulary. I also enjoyed the interactive way of teaching. Thanks for these courses, which were well structured and clearly explained. I will definitely try to come back in Bucharest.

I liked very much the atmosphere during the classes, the teachers' attitude and their professionalism. The classes were with a high intension, dynamic and very useful. At the beginning I wasn't able to say a single word but now I have the courage to talk with the people in the street. I'll recommend the course to everyone who is interested in learning Romanian as a foreign language. I would like to participate in the next level as soon as possible.

I am very impressed with the ROLANG course – it was very well organized. I liked the variety of exercises that we did – 3 hours always passed very quickly. My main weakness is speaking and the conversations in class were very helpful. I feel more confident now. Both of the teachers are very supportive and the atmosphere of the class was comfortable. I will definitely recommend it to others.

Fantastic! The materials, the pace, the interaction & class dynamic in small groups – all fantastic, highly professional and very fun. I learned more and more quickly than I ever imagined possible.

I really enjoyed the class. It was a lot of information in 2 week intensive class and it helped me to be able to understand more of the language and in reading signs. Absolutely, learning so much vocabulary, verbs and contractions has helped make sense of a lot of material I read in Romanian. The course was fun and very informative.

Nice school, good program, good location, efficient course. I didn't speak Romanian at all, now when I watch TV even after the 2 week course I catch the words and I understand the main ideas. I would definitely recommend the course to other foreigners.

The courses at ROLANG are very well structured for beginners. It goes through different steps, from the basic knowledge needed to survive in Romania to the grammatical construction of sentences. Moreover, the alternation between writing, listening and speaking is well managed. Although I already knew some basic words and sentences in Romanian, this course really helped me to understand the construction of the sentences, the use of the tenses and added a lot of vocabulary to my knowledge.

The course was well prepared. The material is good to follow the daily classes. The teachers are very kind and helpful. My goal was to learn some basic of the Romanian language and I think that I have achieved it successfully. I would recommend the course to another foreigner interested in learning Romanian.

I had the experience of intensive class. My experience is positive from all the points of view: the instructions, the teachers, the course materials etc. I came without knowing anything and now I can make complete sentences. I appreciate especially the effort of maintaining the small working classes (groups). I think that an intensive class is perfect in order to introduce yourself in the Romanian language.

My impression about ROLANG courses is excellent: great location, highly knowledgeable teacher. Absolutely, the courses helped me to improve my skills in Romanian, you are currently responsible for all the Romanian that I have. I came here on recommendation from a friend. I would definitely pass the recommendation on.

The two weeks of courses gave me a lot of knowledge of Romanian language. I've started speaking and understanding this language. I am very surprised how much you can learn in two weeks. I didn't speak Romanian before and now I can lead very simple conversation in shop or about the weather etc. I would recommend this course. The teachers are very helpful and have the ability to explain everything in a clear way.

I have a very good impression. The teachers were very pedagogic and with the other students of different nationalities. The course is very rich and intense, the method is very good. As we have classes every day, you can't forget anything. I really improved my skills in Romanian. Now I am able to ask or reply with usual expressions in a basic language.

I have certainly learned from this course, I understand more of the conversations around me. I still think the intensive course is a little too intensive. But it's good value for money. I would recommend this course to another foreigner interested in learning Romanian.

Wonderful course and teachers. I am so glad to have taken this time to learn. I am impressed with the course materials and the teaching methods. Certainty, this course would help all foreigners to learn. The course helped me very much to improve my skills in Romanian.

I have appreciated a lot the fact that the courses have been adapted to the student's needs. I am glad that the program was individual, having a specific grammatical and literary content. Your manual and your exercise book are composed in a proper manner and the grammar explanations are clear and consistent. I have also appreciated the articles about Romanian culture. The teachers made all the efforts to clarify all the student's doubts. The courses helped me to improve my skills regarding the grammar and the vocabulary and gave me all the useful literary references.

It's a very good class. When I first came I didn't know any Romanian and now that the beginner's section is almost over I can say that I understand a lot in conversations and I can write and talk some phrases. I feel confident that if I will continue with the classes I will end up talking fluently Romanian. The courses helped me very much to be able to understand some words and phrases and to write and talk. I would recommend this course to any foreigner.

My impression about ROLANG courses is very good, I would recommend it. I learned a lot and this made my stay in Romania much more pleasant. This course would be the first thing I would recommend to a foreigner if staying for a long time. The course definitely helped me to improve my skills in Romanian.

The courses are very practically oriented for direct use in every day life. Teacher speaks English very well and is able to interact effectively with the students. Teacher takes time to listen and leads the group in a good manner. It is pleasant learning. Definitely, the course helped me to improve my skills in Romanian. I was able to communicate for the first time with my landlord. Now I am also trying to talk with friends to further improve my skills.

My impression about ROLANG courses is very nice. Nice people, nice atmosphere. And it helped me a lot to feel more comfortable on the streets of Bucharest. Now I can even have small conversations in real life. That is great! Thank you!

I really enjoyed ROLANG courses, I can't wait until my new courses starts. The courses helped me a lot from the first week to communicate without first thinking which verb I have to say. From the first week I understood how the course in general improved my life. Definitely, I recommend it to foreigners.

I liked the course very much. The lessons made me more confident to try and use Romanian. Definitely, I would recommend the course to another foreigner interested in learning Romanian. The services were very flexible, including a ride from the airport. Thanks!

The classes were well prepared and the atmosphere was very nice. All different aspects of reading, speaking, listening and writing were covered. The courses helped me very much and since it was an intensive course I feel that it gave me the basics to keep on improving by myself from here.

I was very pleased and excited about the places. The main reason was because the teacher is very encouraging and also speaks very clearly. I also appreciated how she always asked if we understood everything and whether we had questions. She always wanted to make sure that we didn't move forward unless everything was clear. A super course!

An excellent course and great fun too. The teacher's style is / was relaxed and informative. Looking forward to attending another course in the future. Next week I'm sure I'll miss my lovely colleagues too!

The course was well structured and organized yet very flexible to meet individual needs and questions and we skipped around in the book based on our interests and needs. I like the book and how it presents information. I like how often we speak - reading and role-playing. I would definitely recommend this course to other foreigners.

I am very satisfied. I only did one week of intensive courses, but the progress I've made is just great. I'm very grateful for the very good thought through approach. The fact that the teacher didn't just stick to what was in the book, but answered all sorts of questions is laudable. Definitely, I would recommend this course.

I was very impressed, I liked the course, the atmosphere, the method of teaching. The teacher is very friendly and makes sure you understand and does not rush. This course helped me a lot to improve my skills in Romanian.

My opinion about ROLANG courses is very good. The lessons were very well calibrated and the teacher very professional. The course would helped me more if i could have time to attend all of the lesson and to study. I would recommend the course and our teacher at anytime.

I want to learn Romanian to be able to speak to my husband's friends and family back in Romania who are not English speakers. I believe that at 32 years old, anybody would find learning a new language difficult, especially if the job (where we spend more than 8 hours a day) does not require us to do so. But I would say that Romanian language is easy to learn because of the common use of vowels which are similar to that of the Filipino language, such as "a" and "u", and the words are written in a way that it is easy to read. I am very satisfied with my Romanian online course at ROLANG. My teacher is efficient, very pleasant and skilled. Now I can say many words and phrases in Romanian. Warmest regards.

My overall impression about ROLANG Romanian courses is very good. I am pleased to have advanced rather quickly in a short time. I especially appreciated the teacher's constant positive support and the audio CD that helped a lot.

I am satisfied with the teaching method. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging to learn. The teacher definitely is helpful and competent. In terms of materials, they are the best from all I could see. Definitely, the course is very helpful and encouraging and motivates me to further study. I can recommend ROLANG school as professional and friendly school helping you with difficult, but manageable language.

This course was really nice with a nice atmosphere and helped me to understand much better and get more skills in the grammar parts. I would definitely recommend this course to a foreigner interested in learning Romanian language.

I think the course is well organized and effective. Slowly, we begin understanding and speaking Romanian. Therefore, I think the course is well organized and prepared. Anyway, I was already told so. Definitely, the course helped me to improve my skills in Romanian.

Great course, very good instruction. Considerably, ROLANG is the best instruction I have found for learning Romanian as a second or a third language. I would recommend this course to any foreigner interested in learning Romanian.

Even though I don't have enough time to study at home, I find this course very useful for those who wish to learn Romanian language. The teacher is excellent and she knows how to make learning the language easy the students.

I would recommend this course to every foreigner who comes to Romania because he / she will be able to communicate whiten short time with the Romanians.

My impression is good. The tempo is quite high which I like, keeps it interesting. This course helped me to improve my skills in Romanian, I know nothing before I started here. I would definitely recommend the course.

My impression about ROLANG courses is “foarte bună” (very good)! My Romanian is getting better and better with each lesson. I would recommend this course to any foreigner interested in learning Romanian.

The courses are developing very well, in serenity; the teacher is always available to respond to all the questions and the expectations of the students. Briefly, ROLANG is a very good school. This course helped me and help me to express myself on the street, at the school and everywhere I go. I recommend this course to my foreign friends and I already did this.

The course is well structured – low pressure environment, helpful instructions. I would definitely recommend this course and our teacher.

I was very happy about the course of Romanian language with ROLANG. I only had time to attend a course for beginners but it helped me a lot to get around on daily bases. Thanks to our great professor, the textbooks we had and also the nice class of people. Plus the ambiance was breath taking. I was honestly very happy about it. All in all I would recommend ROLANG language school to everybody who wants to learn Romanian, meet interesting people and all that in an ancient and beautiful place of the university.

The course was very precise and very informative. The teaching methods are very effective. I would gladly recommend ROLANG to anyone who would like to learn Romanian.

Seeking for a Romanian language class in Bucharest I found ROLANG language classes on the Internet and I was from the first moment very satisfied with the services. I took part in a free evaluation of my knowledge of the Romanian language and after this I started to have courses. At the moment I am following a class at the intermediate level. The classes are taking place in small groups and in a highly professional but also friendly working atmosphere. The lecturing material is very comprehensive as well as coherent and the teachers are very well skilled in teaching and have a strongly scientific background in linguistics. Furthermore is in my opinion the location terrific.

ROLANG helped me to develop my language skills regarding understanding as well as expressing so that I am now able to handle my daily tasks here in Bucharest.

I really enjoyed my private language tuition - and appreciated that it was possible to have the lessons where and when I wanted. My teacher was very well organized and clearly put time into preparing for our classes, bringing a range of materials for us to use. She took time to answer all of my questions and clearly enjoyed teaching - which does make a big difference to the student! Although I only had time to do a short, intense course, I do think I made progress and I will definitely return to this teacher if I have the chance to study again in the future.

ROLANG has taken me from a complete beginner in Romanian to an intermediate level within 16 weeks. I have acquired a working vocabulary along with the needed grammar to both communicate and comprehend. The instructor has been very knowledgeable, patient and flexible with the many learning styles within the classes of students. The materials are well-organized and appropriate to situational learning for students. I give high marks to this organization as it has helped me, and will continue to help me achieve my language learning goals.

Many thanks to ROLANG Language School for excellent teaching and for a professional and friendly organization of my stays in Bucharest! The several individual courses I attended very always taught by highly qualified teachers who tailored the program to my needs so that I could make rapid progress in a short time. The courses were fun, I could rely on maximum flexibility and discernibility of the teachers and full support of the director of the school who also organized extra-activities in town: theater visits, concerts, trips and walks in parks.

The lessons were well structured, with excellent grammar explanation, good rhythm, good balance and variation of different exercises and very nice overall atmosphere. Last but not least, the school's excellent text-book of Romanian language is written by the director - which guarantees high quality of teaching.
