Learn Romanian online with specialized teachers
The Romanian Cultural Institute organizes different Romanian language modules for foreigners throughout the year.
Depending on the level and the available schedule, some classes are held in person and others entirely online.
The courses are designed to progressively develop comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and communication skills.
What levels are available?
The offerings change with each registration period.
In 2026, online groups are scheduled for students at basic and intermediate levels, from A1 to B2.
The available groups may correspond to different stages within each level, depending on the course offering.
This allows both students with basic knowledge and those with an intermediate level to find a suitable option.
How long is each module?
Each module consists of approximately 40 hours of classes.
Sessions are usually held twice a week at pre-established times.
Groups typically consist of 10 to 15 participants.
How do I know which level I should be in?
Those who already have some knowledge of Romanian take a placement test before being assigned to a group.
The assessment includes a written and an oral component.
Complete students can access the beginner level directly when a group is available.
Is the course free?
No. Modules organized directly by the Romanian Cultural Institute have a participation fee.
The price may change between sessions, so it is advisable to always check the updated information before registering.
The fee includes classes and materials corresponding to the level.
Do I receive any documentation upon completion?
At the end of the module, participants receive a diploma certifying the course completed, their level, and duration.
This document certifies participation in the course but does not automatically replace official language proficiency certificates that may be required for certain procedures.
