Course description

To start with level B1.2, you will already have covered the skills of level B1.1. You can already confidently…

  • understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment).
  • communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters.
  • describe in simple terms aspects of your background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.

Now, it's the time to take the B1.2 module. The course will take 2 weeks of intensive training. Daily (5 times per week: Moday to Friday), you will study 4 hours, from 9:00 to 13:00.

Combine a relaxing holiday abroad with 20 Romanian lessons a week. You will learn or perfect all the basics of how to communicate in Romanian with plenty of time left over for sightseeing, relaxing and exploring Bucharest. 

Our interactive methods of teaching and the teaching materials have been designed to satisfy communication needs from the simplest to the most complicated, making the development of both written and oral expression easy.

Our lessons are always varied and dynamic - dialogues, role plays, discussions, communication games which motivate everyone to speak and a variety of linguistic exercises. Our teachers often come out for activities outside the school. One of them most important elements of the courses which we offer is the extra-curricular program, which give you an extra opportunity to practice Romanian in real situations, often on the streets of Bucharest.

Because our classes are held with international groups, the course is also an excellent chance to meet people from all around the world, and find out about the culture of the countries they come from and... talk about them in Romanian.

  • describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.

Teacher and teaching methods

The course involves the communicative method, which means that, the main emphasis is put on speaking skills. 

The main technique in class is group work and dialogues in pairs. We often use real-life materials such as leaflets, TV shows, dialogues. The role of a teacher is crucial as it’s the teacher who creates real-life environment in class. All lessons (also for beginners) are taught only in Romanian. We usually work in international groups in which Romanianis the only ‘common’ language’. The results of the communicative method can be seen very quickly and this is an additional motivation for students. 

Even though we concentrate on speaking mainly, it doesn’t mean that we neglect other language skills – listening, grammatical correctness, reading and writing. All language skills are an integral part of each course as they influence the efficiency and ease of communication. 

We use the textbooks that we have tested and that are liked by our students. What’s more, our teachers add their own interesting materials to the textbook material.
