What Our Students Say
Real experiences from our students
I've been studying Romanian with the Institute of Sibiu since 2019. I am a C1 Romanian speaker now and I can say I enjoyed my experience with the Institute thanks to the friendly stuff and amazing study materials. I also had the opportunity to visit Sibiu and I'm grateful for all the help the Institute provided with accommodation and for all the cultural activities they included me in. I am currently in a conversation class and in a study group and I am ready to move to Romania next year.
I was very pleased with my teacher's method to speak as much Romanian as possible even since the beginning of our class. I was a beginner and I couldn't understand anything and now I have dreams in Romanian.
I attended a beginners' class and I was very impressed with the teacher. She was very professional, never late and made everything seem really easy. When I needed more explaining, the teacher stopped and made sure I understood everything. Also, she introduced each subject very naturally, I wish my high school teachers were all like her.
