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.
I like learning languages; I believe it's very important to discover new cultures and realities, and the only succesful way to do that is by speaking to locals. I currently speak 4 languages (and a bit of a 5th one) but I don't think it's ever enough. I did my begginer's lesson, learning the letters and how to pronounce them, and I really liked it. Sînziana is a very good teacher, and I would like to have more lessons with her.
I liked the program, it was well organized and helped me a lot. Now it is easier for me to understand the language and to use it (in a restaurant, in public etc.).
The course helped me improve my Romanian knowledge very much. Please maintain the high level of flexibility based on the students' needs. These adaptations aided in building confidence and knowledge.
I have been learning Romanian in an individual course from Czechia over Teams calls with d-na Șipoș for a year and half already. Aside from having made significant and noticeable advances deep into B1 to a state where I speak fluently (with mistakes, but not huge or unintelligible ones, as every student in progress does) and expressing my mind while understanding basically everything that is said in normal conversations, I have also very much enjoyed my lessons with her and had a lot of fun. D-na Șipoș is always cheerful, kind, helpful, creative, seeks ways to explain and work with your mindset and experiences and sometimes even goes an extra step to help you with your development. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had and I am very content with her lessons, as they've helped me connect with my in-laws and provided a lot of fun and discovery. Communication with the school is absolutely non-problematic as well. I have not been willing to try other teachers than d-na Șipoș, but I am absolutely certain that other teachers have the same quality. Can recommend.
I thought I could not learn Romanian before I met Sînziana and Romanian Language Institute. I have tried other schools and particular classes before and I just did not liked it. Here, since the beginning, I was warmly welcomed. Sînziana always listens to my needs and helps me to improve, she challenges me and guides me and I feel sooo happy because I finally feel myself learning and improving in this beautiful but hard language. 😊 So I can't recommend this school enough!
The Romanian Language Institute of Sibiu is an excellent school with great teachers. I have been learning Romanian for a year with Sînziana Șipoș. We have been doing weekly online classes and, in August, I also went to Sibiu for an intensive summer stay. Sînziana is a fine linguist and an extraordinary language teacher. She uses tailored material and has the great ability of making time fly during class! I'm learning Romanian for professional reasons, since I am an interpreter, and thanks to LIROS I am now in love with Romania and I'm making great progress in a limited timeframe. I highly recommend both the online classes and the intensive stay in Sibiu, which is a delightful town full of cultural stimuli and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
A language school with friendly and qualified teachers, classes tailored according to the needs and levels, as well as professional management staff. I have made a remarkable progress in a short time in Mihaela's online class and now my sister has enrolled as well. We have the opportunity to make speaking practice in classes with 4-5 persons max. I definitely recommend it.
