Alumni who wrote us:
„I came to Romania two years ago. When I arrived here, I did not know Romanian language at all. Then I decided to study at ICR and after some courses, I am convinced that ICR is the best choice if you really wish to learn Romanian language, in a very nice atmosphere, with an easy and effective method. But the most important fact is that ICR has a very professional female team, integrated by five enthusiast teachers who are always willing to help you. They are teachers highly qualified, with a deep knowledge of Romanian language and every time they show their best disposition to encourage you to improve your performance and have success to learn Romanian language."
