Who hasn't heard of one of the most famous characters in the world? It is Dracula, the father of all vampires, patient zero, a mysterious person who attracts and repels at the same time, capable of arousing fascination but also a shiver down the spine for those who hear his name. As is always the case, no matter how rooted in fantasy the legends may be, they all start from a grain of truth, from a real, concrete place or person that has been the inspiration for the story woven over the ages. This is also the case with Dracula, a fantastic character who seems to be based upon a historical figure - Vlad the Impaler.

We are not the only ones who have said it! On the contrary, a number of creators and writers - some of Romanian origin, others foreign - have said on countless occasions that the Romanian language is one of the most beautiful languages and they have argued, each in their own style, that this is so.

If you have already fallen so deeply in love with Romania that you are seriously considering moving here, there are many reasons, both economic and cultural, why this could be a happy decision.

So, you have heard a few things about Romania? Maybe in connection with the famous novel "Dracula", or maybe through legendary athletes like Nadia Comăneci or Gheorghe Hagi. Or maybe you've heard the stories of celebrities who simply fell in love with these wonderful places and the hospitality of the people here, like Prince Charles. In fact, the current King Charles the Third 😊 Well, everything you've heard is true! Romania is a beautiful country with absolutely fascinating places to visit. And what's more, you're sure to discover even more extraordinary things here than what you know now from only hearing about them.

The history of a language is often the history of the people itself. This is because language - and Romanian...

So you want to learn Romanian. First of all, congratulations on your choice. It is an extremely beautiful language that will bring you joy and satisfaction. For these to continue, however, beyond the initial excitement we all feel before taking on something new, or accepting a challenge, it's good to know what mistakes to avoid! From our experience and interaction with our students, we want to share with you some of the pitfalls you can encounter. There aren't many, but they are common. And if you know how to identify them from the start, the easier it will be to avoid them. They can be detrimental to your progress, and this can lead to loss of motivation. This is also the most important reason why most people give up studying a language when they are so close to their goal. And speaking of goals...

In general, when we want to identify the Romanian language in relation to other languages, and especially to those to which it is closest, we start this process by saying that Romanian belongs to the Romance languages. In fact, we have also talked about this here. The fact that Romanian belongs to this group is a subject that is as interesting as it is important. This is because only a correct overview of the history of a language and its relationship with its relatives can lead to a balanced assessment of the position of that language in the world.

There is no universal recipe. There is no magic solution by which anyone - whoever that may be - can learn Romanian without putting in any effort. First of all because everyone is different and everyone has a set of characteristics (skills or weaknesses) that make a particular method work or not. It is also the reason why Romanian lessons for English speakers can never be the same for all participants.
