At the Romanian Language Institute of Sibiu, learning is built around experience. The school doesn’t simply teach grammar or vocabulary; it helps students live the language every day. Located in one of the most culturally rich cities in Romania, LIROS welcomes learners from all over the world who want to communicate naturally, explore local traditions, and develop real language confidence.
The method encourages communication from the very first lessons, so participants quickly start using Romanian in cafés, museums, or while talking with local people.
Learning in a city full of inspiration
Sibiu, with its mix of history and creativity, offers the perfect setting for language immersion.

The institute’s original study materials, created by its own educators, focus on natural expression and real communication. Students work with modern themes, from daily life to technology, keeping every discussion relevant and interesting.
