The 10th anniversary edition of the summer school on the Romanian language will take place between the 24th of July - the 4th of August 2023 in Sibiu.

Experience the excitement of learning Romanian in the beautiful city of Sibiu, where history, culture, and modernity come together. Formerly the center of the Transylvanian Saxons, the old city of Sibiu was ranked as "Europe's 8th most idyllic place to live" by Forbes and was designated a European Capital of Culture for the year 2007, in tandem with Luxembourg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibiu).

Our Summer School is designed for language students of all levels, offering intensive Romanian courses that will help you reach your language goals faster.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, our experienced teachers will help you develop your skills in a supportive and enjoyable learning environment. Our courses are designed to be communicative, so you will have plenty of opportunities to practice your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, and to immerse yourself in the Romanian language and culture.

Sibiu is a fascinating city, known for its medieval architecture, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant student life. You will have the opportunity to explore the city's historic center, visit its many museums and cultural landmarks, and sample its delicious cuisine. Our Summer School is also a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, as our classes are international and students come from a variety of different countries.

The program includes morning activities (30 hours of class courses) and afternoon activities (2 hours of Q&A, 6 hours of conversation lessons, museum visits, film screenings, guided tour of Sibiu city center, the tour of communism, lecture on Romanian history and culture, social parties).

Classroom activities are focused on real-life situations and include role-playing, conversation, discussions, vocabulary, and grammar exercises.

In this course, we cover the lessons from the “Learn Romanian” textbooks (manual, exercise book, and audio files), written by Dr. Mona Moldoveanu Pologea.
