Description

Ever since I was little, I liked words. I used to read during the summer vacation all the documents required (by the teachers) and many others that I received as a gift. My mother tongue, Romanian, opened a vast horizon to the literary universe for me, so, after High School specializing in philology, I continued at the Faculty of Letters where, for three years, I studied English and, for eight years, French. After a semester in Paris at Sorbonne University (IV) and another semester in Toulouse, I realized that French is more than a passion for me, so I crowned this keen inclination with a Ph.D. in Philology.

I have been teaching for more than four years. I taught for three years in the university field and for two years I have been teaching French, English, and Romanian online. I still have many techniques to learn, but if you’re doing something that brings you soulful fulfillment, what can fight that? We live, we learn, and practice makes improvement.

I cordially invite you to be part of my virtual team. My course is meant for all those who need to learn Romanian or are just curious to discover new languages, for polyglots, tourists, and travelers; absolute beginners, who do not need a previous (lexical) foundation.

Interactive activities will keep you active and interested so you don’t forget what you’ve previously learned.

Let’s stop wasting time and get to know each other!
