New Year Romanian Conversation: Practice Festive Speaking Skills
Learning Romanian can become even more engaging when it’s tied to celebration and cultural rituals. One of the most vibrant opportunities for interactive learning is discussing New Year traditions in Romania. Our intermediate conversation activities are crafted to help you build fluency while exploring winter festivities and personal experiences related to the end-of-year celebration.
Talk About Traditions in Romanian
Romanian New Year customs offer a rich context for developing conversation skills. From discussing foods like sarmale and cozonac to describing superstitions like wearing red for luck or kissing under the mistletoe (vâsc), learners are encouraged to expand their vocabulary and practice real-life interactions. Our materials invite you to reflect on how you celebrate and compare those rituals to Romanian customs—an engaging, intercultural speaking practice.
Learn Seasonal Vocabulary While You Speak
This New Year Romanian Conversation topic is supported by a glossary that includes over 30 words and expressions—from petarde (firecrackers) to a închina (to toast)—to help you express yourself accurately and naturally. You’ll also practice narrative tenses as you talk about how you spent your last New Year’s Eve and make future plans for the year ahead.
Compare Cultures, Build Fluency
Our activities are designed not just to expand your Romanian vocabulary but also to help you express comparisons, emotions, and intentions using structures appropriate to level B1. You’ll be encouraged to answer open-ended questions and comment on traditions from other cultures, such as Spain, Brazil, or South Africa, creating space for dynamic dialogue.
Get Inspired by Real Stories
The thematic text included in the session tells the story of a cheerful celebration in Brașov, with Romanian friends preparing a festive dinner, toasting with șampanie, and watching fireworks in the snowy town square. It’s a perfect springboard for learners to build their own story, share personal memories, and explore grammatical elements like the past tense, conditionals, and expressions of desire (a avea o dorință).
