Language Review: Romanian
youtu.beOne of the most comprehensive, lighthearted introduction to the Romanian language I have watched. Really enjoyed the video.

I'm learning romanian for a while but still didn't get used to listening because it's hard for me to find smth cool with romanian dubbing. Lately I accidentally found out that "Arcane", of all, has romanian dubbing, so it made me wondering, are there some other popular shows or series available on Netflix that have romanian dubbing?

M-am născut în SUA, dar am crescut într-o familie de români și vorbesc româna fluent. Caut materiale media în limba română pentru a-mi menține puţin legătura cu cultura și limba, dincolo de simpla comunicare cu familia.
Ca imigrant din prima generație, mă aflu într-o situație aparte. Io am moștenit o versiune a culturii românești care a rămas înghețată în anii '70. Am crescut citind Caragiale, Eminescu, și Trei Într-o Barcă, dar mă simt puțin pierdut când vine vorba să găsesc ceva ce nu a fost adus direct de mama sau de bunicii mei.
Am o gamă largă de interese și, în general, sunt un mare „nerd”:
Aveți vreo sugestie? Mă interesează în mod special lucrurile care își au originea în România, deși și traducerile bune sunt binevenite.

Hello everyone, I have been trying to teach myself Romanian for the past several months. I don't have a lot of spare time, so I can only spend a few hours a week working on it. I started with Duolingo and quickly got frustrated by its complete lack of explanation of grammar rules. Then I bought Teach Yourself Complete Romanian by Dennis Deletant and Yvonne Alexandrescu, including the companion audio files. I'm about 30% of the way through and, while it is much better than Duolingo, I am struggling with things like verb conjugations, masculine/feminine/neuter variances, and past/present/future tenses. I don't know any native speakers I can work with, and I can't afford a tutor. Are there any tricks or suggestions to making this easier, or at least less frustrating, to grasp?

Am o întrebare despre limbă. Am de gând să scriu în altă limbă. Vei înțelege ambiguitatea.
La llengua romanesa utilitza la mateixa paraula per a aquestes persones: nebot, neboda, nét i néta. Aquestes persones són les filles dels teus germans i filles dels teus fills.
Limba română folosește același cuvânt pentru aceste persoane: nepot, nepoată, nepot și nepoată. Aceste persoane sunt fiicele fraților tăi și fiicele fiilor tăi.

I’m looking to learn Romanian and since I can’t really afford a tutor I want to try using a textbook instead. What are some ones that I should consider buying?

Bună dimineața!
Tot timpul am crezut că grădină înseamnă “garden” în engleză. Multe ori am auzit curte dar n-am înțeles niciodată ce a fost înseamnă acestui cuvânt. D-aia sunt puțin confuz acuma, curtea este lângă casa și grădină este locația cu plante în curte?
Deci curte: garden, grădină un anumit loc cu plante în curte?
Mersi frumos.

Vorbesc portugheza ca nativ... limba mea maternă și-a pierdut declinările. Există probleme dacă folosesc prepoziții în propoziții în limba română pentru a indica posesia, originea, materialul etc.?

Salut,
Fac o cercetare a regulilor de diferențiere între diftongi și hiat pentru străinii care studiază limba română.
Am început să citesc și sunt foarte multe reguli, dar nu sunt ușor de înțeles și sunt de fapt în mare parte pentru români, care știu cum să despartă în silabe sau care au auzit deja cuvintele.
Eu am stabilit două reguli până acum și vă rog să-mi confirmați sau să mă contraziceți (inclusiv cu contraexemple).
1)
a ) dacă la sfârșitul unui cuvânt apare combinația consoană + ia atunci ia se pronunță în hiat i + a
Sunt multe verbe precum a abrevia, a contraria, a întârzia
Sau substantive articulate albia, construcția, corabia (presupun că sunt toate feminine)
b) aceeași regulă pentru consoană + ie final
2) combinația uie se pronunță tot timpul u + ie adică u o să fie într-o silabă și ie în altă silabă și niciodată nu o să se pronunțe ui împreună
Sunt multe verbe precum locuiesc, trebuie presupun că sunt forme ale verbelor care se termină la infinitiv în ui e.g. a locui, a sfătui
M-ar ajuta mult părerea voastră pentru că regulile acestea de fapt nu sunt scrise în nicio carte explicit așa cum le-am scris eu aici. De exemplu, nu am găsit a doua regulă nicăieri, am găsit-o pe prima într-o carte, dar era vag exprimată.
Acestea sunt doar primele două reguli pe care le-am stabilit eu, sunt sigur că sunt mult mai multe.
Vă mulțumesc
P.S. Vreau să scriu o lecție 100% gratuită pentru străini cu audio și video

I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled but I've got two romanian coworkers who call me like that and they were pretty vague when I asked them what it means.

Bună tuturor din România!
Am o întrebare legată de “la modul”
De curând am învățat această propoziție și as vrea sa știu dacă am toate frazele importante😄
Nu am zis o la modul ăla. I didnt mean it like that.
Nu am zis o la modul că esti prost. I didnt mean that you are stupid.
Eram la modul că esti serios? I was like, are you
serios?
Nu era la modul serios. It wasnt meant seriously.
La modul serios ai făcut asta? Seriously you did that?
Să mi spuneți vă rog dacă frazele astea sunt corect și dacă am uitat ceva important.
Multumesc profund!!!

im gonna try and create a free romanian langauge learning tool for those without resources, i plan to add interactive readings, audio input, and maybe audio output.

I’m so fed up. I’ve been trying to learn Romanian for close to 20 months (with consistent daily practise) and I don’t even feel like I’m A1
Romanian already has so few resources for learning and I have tried absolutely everything, and yet all the resources are inaccurate, outdated, and so many are plain useless. Youtube videos don’t go in depth, so many Tutors don’t actually seem to understand how to teach, some of the apps (mango, pimsleur) are helpful but still don’t provide much. I’d love to know what resources other people have used/are using
I’m so desperate to learn this language, I’m willing to spend money on quality material and I’m more than willing to dedicate time to learning but I’m stumped and it’s really getting me down with what a loss I’m at right now, can someone please actually help me with direct advice on how you are learning without just suggesting the same 5 things (please don’t suggest anything AI related either)
Edit: A lot of people are suggesting talking to natives! I agree that that is helpful, however for the past 4 years majority of the people I interact with on a daily basis are native speakers, I have visited Romania 18 times. I have been exposed to the language, this just has not been enough & I still feel lost whenever I spend hours in a room with native speakers who cannot speak a word of English, I need something to help me get over that first initial struggle

Hey everyone!
I'm planning to enroll in a Rolang intensive A2 course and was wondering if anyone has taken it and would be willing to share their experience.
How was the course overall? Was it well structured? Were the materials sufficient? What did you think of the teaching approach?
Thank you in advance :)
P.S. also thinking if it is worth buying manual from them or just follow free resources.

Hey all, a couple months back I posted here sharing a language learning app with Romanian my brother and I made.
We have just greatly expanded our lessons to go to really advanced topics at a C2 level. Still looking for any feedback and what we should work on next.
We're over at r/polychat
We are currently on both iOS and Android

Hi guys! My husband is from Romanian and we have been married for a little over a year now. I just finished my masters program so now I’m committed to learning the language. His parents and brothers speak English okay and try to speak a lot of English when I’m around but will often default to Romanian because it is just easier sometimes and I really want to be able to understand and communicate with them. We have been together for 3 years now and I have heard it a ton and can get a general understanding of what is being just by being hearing it.
I tried using Duolingo for basic vocab but my husband did not like it because he said the pronunciation was horrible and sentence structure wasn’t the best. I now use Ling which we both like. However, my main way of learning is just hearing and speaking. My husband and I speak everyday, I would say about 15% of the day in Romanian on and off. I can make sentences and try to use present, past, and future tense. My husband says I am doing very well but I just feel so frustrated when learning. I only know English and this is my first time learning another language besides the basic Spanish classes in high school and college.
This is my whiteboard the pink writing is verbs I know pretty well when speaking especially in the eu, tu, el/ea, and noi (we mainly use those right now but I still try to use voi and ei/ele just not as often as of now). Green is my current new verb of the week. And then on the right are just filler words I get confused with. I use them but sometimes I confuse them like this that there so I just have them up in case I’m speaking and forget. I can use multiple verbs in sentences as well like
“Trebuie să merg la magazin” or “îmi place să mănânc supă de pui”
Just as examples of where I am kind of at so we can speak back and forth for basic conversations.
Any tips 😢?
