***

In the pandemic context, taking in consideration the measures and the decisions that have already been taken at the national level to limit the spreading of the Covid-19 virus, including the suspension of all physical classes in Bucharest, the Romanian Cultural Institute adapts its activity to the present realities and organizes Romanian language classes for foreigners online, using Zoom platform.

The Romanian Cultural Institute has been organizing the Romanian language courses for foreigners since 2008.

If you want to study Romanian for your business / for your job or for fun, the language courses offered by the Romanian Cultural Institute are the best choice! We plan on giving you the opportunity to discover, step by step, the mysteries revolving around one of the roman(t)ic languages.

For 2020 the Romanian Cultural Instituteoffers extensive courses both in the morning and in the evening time.

Courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners (based upon the regulations and principles issued by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment) are available for all the series.

In order to assess the level of Romanian correspondent to the enrolled candidates, an initial knowledge test will be taken by the prospective students. According to the evaluation results, the study groups will be organized in beginners level (A2), intermediate (B1, B2) and advanced (C1, C2) levels.

Important! Please note that the participants not familiarized with the Romanian language, thus corresponding to the A1 level, will not be submitted to a knowledge test.

The initial knowledge test is free.

Duration of one module: 40 hours of study

The study groups comprise 10 up to 12 students. In order to be able to set up a study group for each of the levels indicated above, we need to have a minimum of 8 students enrolled per group.
