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 2021 the Romanian Cultural Institute offers extensive courses both in the morning and in the evening.
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 placement test will be taken by the prospective students. According to the results of the evaluation, the study groups will be assembled for the pre-intermediate 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 placement test.
The placement test is free.
Duration of one module: 40 hours of study
The study groups comprise 6 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 6 students enrolled per group.
Regular courses consist of two hours of study/twice a week.
