Romanian Lessons A2: Holidays, Weather, and Everyday Talk
When moving beyond basic phrases, Romanian lessons at A2 level take you into conversations rooted in real cultural and seasonal life. Among the early topics revisited in our intermediate beginner lessons are holidays and weather — two key areas that develop not only vocabulary and grammar, but also sociocultural understanding.
🇷🇴 Romanian Holidays: Vocabulary and Cultural Insight
In Romanian, holidays are not just dates — they are moments of tradition, family time, and national identity. At A2 level, learners revisit and expand their vocabulary with important cultural markers like:
Anul Nou (New Year’s Day) – celebrated on January 1–2
Ziua Unirii Principatelor – January 24, a historical unification day
Paștele (Easter) – the most significant religious celebration
Ziua Muncii (Labor Day) – May 1, associated with outings and seaside trips
Ziua Copilului (Children’s Day) – June 1, a joyful family celebration
Crăciunul (Christmas) – December 25–26, with gifts and family gatherings
Learners engage in reading texts and fill-in-the-gap exercises that contextualize each holiday, emphasizing expressions such as:
Petrec în familie – I celebrate with my family
Zi liberă – Day off
Mergem la mare – We go to the seaside
Through these, students build fluency in describing plans and traditions using both the present and near-future tenses.
🌦️ Weather and Daily Activities: Speaking in Context
As part of practical communication, discussing the weather and daily routines is essential. This lesson explores vocabulary tied to:
Weather expressions: plouă (it rains), ninge (it snows), e cald (it’s warm), bate vântul (the wind blows)
Seasonal descriptions: primăvara (spring), vara (summer), iarna (winter)
Related daily activities: facem sport, mergem la plimbare, citim – all naturally integrated into practice dialogues
Students complete exercises where they match weather conditions with appropriate activities, describe their favorite seasons, and learn polite ways to ask about the weather or make suggestions based on it.
🧠 Grammar in Action: Describing Time and Frequency
To express activities related to holidays and weather, A2 students reinforce use of:
Present tense of action verbs: vizitez, muncim, petrec
Adverbs of frequency: în fiecare an, adesea, rar
Temporal expressions: în ianuarie, în timpul verii, în weekend
The structured tasks also help learners combine vocabulary with grammatical accuracy while encouraging spontaneous output.
