10 Romanian words and phrases to start learning Romanian

It is a reality that during the past years the movement of populations in Europe has been raising. The economical crisis that started on 2008 played a significant role to this. Especially people from countries that the crisis affected the most, they were massively immigrating to others that the financial situation was more stable. Around the same time however, some other countries in Europe, were following the opposite path by doing too many steps forward towards the evolution and growing. Big multinational companies decided to expand their business to these countries giving jobs of all kinds to the local on the one side and on the other to the immigrants that came there for a better future. Among them Poland, Czech Republic and Romania.

In this article , let’s make an assumption. Let’s put ourselves to the shoes of the ones who were forced for their own reasons to immigrate to Romania.

What would be the first thing to do before you prepare your luggage and take the plane to go to this country? Well, we are not sure but we suppose that you would like to start taking some Romanian lessons for foreigners. And this would be the right thing to do definitely! There are a lot of private Romanian teachers and online Romanian tutors (which we would better advise due to the pandemic) that can offer Romanian classes of the highest level and are able to make you experts in just a few months.

After finishing with that or while taking your classes and after you arrived in one of the Romanian business centers (Bucharest, Iasi, Timisoara etc) the first thing that you need to do is to rent an apartment = închiriez un apartament. Make sure that the owner = proprietar is a nice person and try to get along with him/her.

Also, very important thing is that your apartament would be better to be close to a metro station = aproape de o stație de metrou and as closer to your workplace = loc de muncă. In addition, you will definitely need to have by you a super market (don’t worry, you’ll find at least one of them in every block), a pharmacy = farmacie (although we hope that you won’t need it much) some fast foods, like pizzerias, shaormeries (if you don’t know what shaorma is please google it now!), a mall (you won’t find it difficult to track one, they have the same name «mall» like in English) for your shopping and of course a gym = sală.

Romanian kitchen is so nice and tasty and there is a big danger, at least in the beginning, that youn won’t be able to stop eating! There is a big possibility, your house to be close to a park = parc  which would be wonderful! Especially in Bucharest the parks are plenty (there are some with lakes = lacuri) in which you can take your walk and refresh your mind after a very exhausting day at work or you can train or even walk your dog = câine!

We promise that you won’t regret the decision to try to leave abroad and especially in this beautiful country as we reaure you that many opportunities are waiting for you under the best circumstances!

Enjoy your new life = Bucură-te de noua ta viață!
