I’ve now been registered on this site for 11 days, trying to learn a little bit more every day. I’ve been going through the Beginner 1 and Beginner 2 lessons, creating Lingqs to learn. In recent days, I’ve been using the multiple choice test, to improve the status of a bunch of these Lingqs.
I feel that I can recognise most of the words and my reading comprehension seems to have improved a little bit, though it’s of course a long way to go. Fortunately, I have about 10 months, so I’m confident I’ll attain a good level of mastery/fluency by then. (Intermediate 1, maybe even 2)
At work, I try to talk to my Romanian coworkers in their language on a daily basis, though only a few phrases here and there, not actual conversations yet. I find that there’s still a big difference between reading something and recognising the words, compared to actually using them in a conversation or understanding them when they’re spoken.
I do get positive feedback in the sense that they sometimes just speak Romanian to me and I have to ask them to please tell me in English, or that they sometimes try to say something confidential while in a group (e.g.: “I don’t like that guy”) in the hopes I can relate. (I don’t like that guy either!)
In short, I do believe I’m making progress, so I’ll continue to use this site and hope it’ll take me where I want to be.
P.S.: does anyone have an easy way to type/introduce the Romanian-specific letters? â ă î ş and ţ?
(some Romanian for practice)
Când am ajuns unsprezece zile de trecut, am sperat că pot să utilizesc websitul pentru să învăţ limba Română mai bine. Am învăţat puţin de zi cu zi şi acum, cred că pot să citesc puţin mai bine. Doar îi este diferenta dintre să citesc şi să vorbesc. înches să vorbesc limba Română cu colege pe lucram. De când în când, colegei mea vorbesc mai mult Română că pot să înţeleg. Sper că în zece luni, pot să înţeleg şi vorbesc limba foarte bine.
