Absolutely wonderful! The overall environment
is welcoming and relaxed and yet completely professional. The
teachers are well prepared (I had Cristina for almost all sessions,
but the one time she got sick, her replacement was aware of the
topics as well), they answer in depth every question and exhaust all
possible explanations. When I got here, I knew a few words and after
some weeks I can hold at least a short conversation and understand a
lot more.
Limberg Zenteno Reyes, Mexico
Participant in class courses, March-July 2015
I have a very positive impression: small
courses/classes, oriented towards language knowledge, not only
towards an exam, always conversation in the lessons beginnings,
teacher always punctual, distribution of learning materials, clean
and bright classrooms. The course helped me discover and develop the
first basic skills in Romanian.
Claudia Fortunato, Germany
Participant in class courses, May-June 2015
The courses were very interesting and helpful.
The provided materials seemed enough to make a person learn easily
and quickly. In almost one month I was able to understand
90% of the conversations around me. Acum vorbesc limba română bine.
Nancy Stephan, Lebanon,

I liked the course very much, the group and the
professor was very motivated and the atmosphere was nice. There was
a good mixture of grammar lessons, speaking and writing. The manual
is very good, the exercises really help to improve ones language
skills. I would warmly recommend this course. I did
several courses already, but this one was the most efficient for me.
Astrid Susaas, Norway,

Rolang
School gives you the opportunity to learn Romanian in a very friendly

The course helped me to speak and understand basic Romanian, so I can
improve it further by myself during daily life.

The ROLANG course I
got by Cristina has been very professional, efficient and funny.
Cristina is very patient and she's able to make a very pleasant time
out of the class hours. The course helped me to recognize more words
in my working environment and to understand better the meaning of
conversations.

The courses provide
a terrific basis for learning the language from the basics. After the
two week course I have enough language skills to have a conversation
with the people around the city. The beginner course provides a good
foundation to understand the grammar.

ROLANG Course helped me a lot when I arrived in Bucharest. All the
people there were very nice with me. I started with Valentina, she
was very nice, we were a small group of students, which is really
comfortable to learn Romanian, and also to meet other people from
others countries, when you arrived in a new city where you know
nobody. It was perfect to start to learn Romanian. After
that I continued with Catalina, who is very patient and very good as
she paid a lot attention about pronunciation. For advanced level, I
was with Cristina, who is really smiley and energetic. It was
very good as all the students, we could exchange about many subjects,
different points of view from different countries like Germany, Egypt
or Hungary, and that in Romanian, so it helped a lot to improve. So I
recommend a lot ROLANG school for the teachers but also the managing
team who helped me a lot to organize my schedule and find adapted
solutions to my requirements.
Tuyet-Lan Charbit, Vietnam
Participant in class courses, September 2014
It was a very nice
experience! I like your methodology and Cristina was very patient
with all of our questions. The course helped me very much, even
though it was a little too fast for me, but this is because I didn't
had time to revise at home.

Participant in class

The
Romanian course at ROLANG was by far the best intensive language
course I ever had! I was only able to say “mulțumesc” on day 1
and now I can handle myself at least in normal everyday situations
around the city. Cătălina, our teacher, was great! She helped us
all not only with our doubts on the language but also with all the
getting-around related doubts that any new expat in town might have,
always combining that with the studying materials. Besides, since she
can speak several languages besides English and French, she makes the
experience much easier for those who are not as fluent in those two.
Since the groups are reduced you don’t feel you are losing your
time while the rest of the class is working since we are all working
together all the time!I will definitely come back for a second course
and I would recommend its courses to any expat interested in learning
Romanian. Mulțumesc mult și pe curând!

I
was very impressed with the instructors from the very beginning. They
are extremely professional and they pushed me when I was ready, and
backed off when I had had enough. Their ability to explain complex
grammatical structures was excellent. There is no question that I now
have a far greater understanding of Romanian than I did when I
started the course. The instructors mixed cultural experiences in
with the grammar lessons to keep it interesting. It was a great
balance.
Paul
Matier, USA
Participant

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.
Janosch

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.
Alexandra

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.
Payton Marcu,

Participant

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

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.

a lot of useful and interesting information about the country, the
city, the Romanian culture.
Jakub Malecki,
Poland
Participant
in class courses, January – March 2013
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.
Christian

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.

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.

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!

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.
Dora Merai,
Hungary
Participant
in class courses, October 2012 – March 2013
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 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.
Denis Stripf,
Germany
Participant
in 2 week program, August 2012
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.

ROLANG courses is very good. At the very beginning I received a

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

am able to communicate with others and of course I will keep studying
with this great basics they gave me. Thank you!

I only had 9 hours of

for these courses, which were well structured and clearly explained.
I will definitely try to come back in Bucharest.

supportive and the atmosphere of the class was comfortable. I will

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.
Brian Kukan,

Nice school, good

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.

Participant

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.
Jacques
Godard, France

The course was well
prepared. The material is good to follow the daily classes. The

successfully. I would recommend the course to another foreigner

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
