📘 Romanian Lessons A2 – Practice Alphabet and Countries

 

When starting Romanian lessons at A2 level, learners are encouraged to refine their pronunciation and spelling. One fun and interactive way to do that is through the Romanian alphabet, explored using country names and personal introductions. This lesson not only reinforces foundational phonetics but also builds cultural vocabulary that’s practical and relevant.


🔤 The Romanian Alphabet: Structure and Pronunciation

Romanian uses the Latin alphabet, but with some unique additions: Ă, Â, Î, Ș, and Ț. These are essential for correct pronunciation and are taught early in the A2 curriculum to improve accuracy in reading and speaking.

The complete Romanian alphabet is:

A, Ă, Â, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, Î, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, Ș, T, Ț, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

Some letters like K, Q, W, Y are used mainly in foreign names or borrowed words, such as “weekend”, “yoga”, or “Karl”.


🌍 Countries as Tools to Learn Letters

In this stage of Romanian study, country names become a learning scaffold. Learners are asked to:

  • Spell countries aloud using the Romanian pronunciation of each letter

  • Associate letters with countries (e.g., G for Grecia, J for Japonia, Q for Qatar)

  • Write names using Romanian cursive

This technique helps reinforce visual memory, auditory processing, and motor coordination — key components in acquiring accurate pronunciation and spelling in a new language.


✍️ From Spelling to Communication: Integrative Practice

The lesson moves beyond passive memorization. Learners:

  • Write their own names

  • Spell out their country of origin

  • Engage in simple dialogue, for example:

— Cum te numești?
— Mă numesc Yasmin.
— Din ce țară ești?
— Sunt din Yemen.

These tasks reinforce:

  • Personal identity in Romanian

  • Nationalities and countries vocabulary

  • Alphabet fluency through practical usage


📣 From Accuracy to Fluency: Why It Matters

Pronouncing and spelling correctly in Romanian is crucial for clarity and confidence. At the A2 level, learners are transitioning from recognition to production — they no longer just hear and repeat, but also generate phrases spontaneously.

This specific lesson also lays the groundwork for:

  • Understanding official documents

  • Spelling names over the phone

  • Writing forms in Romanian institutions

  • Interacting politely and effectively
