Romanian language B1: Describe your dream home and talk about real memories

Learning Romanian becomes more engaging and relevant when you get to talk about your home—your past, your preferences, your memories. At the intermediate B1 level, learners begin to develop the ability to describe places, events, and real-life experiences, all while mastering a range of tenses and vocabulary. One of the most enriching moments in this stage of your Romanian journey is when you get to describe casa visurilor tale—the house of your dreams—and connect it to your past life experiences and habits.

Talking about your dream home in Romanian

Among the first thematic topics explored at B1 level is how to describe your ideal living space. This involves not just naming household items or rooms, but also organizing ideas coherently, using adjectives for comparison, and expressing personal preferences. A learner might say:

  • Casa visurilor mele are o grădină mare și o bucătărie luminoasă.

  • Aș vrea să locuiesc într-o casă din lemn, cu ferestre mari și vedere spre munți.

By using structures like aș vrea să… or mi-ar plăcea să…, students express wishes and ideals, which also offers practice with the conditional mood—a key grammatical concept at this level.

Recalling past habits: practice with the imperfect tense

In another part of this learning module, students are invited to talk about past habits and routines. This naturally introduces the imperfect tense in Romanian, used to describe ongoing or repeated actions in the past:

  • Când eram copil, locuiam la bunici.

  • În fiecare vară, mergeam la mare.

This kind of reflection enhances not just grammatical accuracy, but also cultural depth, as learners are encouraged to make connections between their own life stories and Romanian ways of storytelling.

From exercises to real communication

To reinforce learning, students engage in contextual exercises that simulate authentic communication—answering questions, matching responses, describing visual scenes, and writing short paragraphs. One visual task asks learners to describe a room based on an image. This encourages both practical vocabulary usage (e.g. canapea, dulap, covor) and correct adjective-noun agreement.

Describing images also helps students practice prepositions of place and relative clauses:

  • În colțul camerei este o lampă care luminează masa de lucru.

  • Pe perete sunt două tablouri frumos colorate.

Speak about yourself with confidence

What makes these Romanian language B1 lessons truly valuable is the integration of grammar, vocabulary, and personal storytelling. This approach helps you internalize the language so that you can confidently say not just unde locuiești, but cum ai locuit, unde ai vrea să locuiești, and ce înseamnă acasă pentru tine.
