Romanian Language B1: Talking About Your Job
Learning Romanian becomes especially rewarding once you’re able to talk about your everyday life—and one essential part of that is your job. In this intermediate-level lesson, part of our Romanian Language B1 curriculum, we help learners describe their profession clearly and naturally, using specific vocabulary and grammar structures that are both accurate and relevant.
Describing Professions in Romanian: Key Phrases and Vocabulary
At this stage in Romanian language learning, students explore how to describe their profession and explain what they do. Whether you’re a medic, profesor, avocat or bucătar, Romanian offers functional sentence patterns that will allow you to talk about your daily duties, workplace, and even how you feel about your job.
For example:
Eu sunt avocat. Îmi place profesia mea pentru că îmi place să ajut oamenii.
Sunt bucătar. Profesia mea este interesantă, dar uneori obositoare.
These structures enable learners to express both objective duties (cu ce se ocupă) and subjective preferences (de ce îți place profesia). The lesson also introduces key vocabulary related to professional roles and tools, ensuring learners can describe not only what they do but how they do it.
Advantages and Disadvantages – How to Talk About Them
A significant component of this lesson is discussing avantajele și dezavantajele unei profesii. This encourages students to practice expressing opinions and using contrastive structures like:
Este un job bine plătit, dar este stresant.
Îmi place pentru că este creativ, însă uneori este solicitant.
This not only improves vocabulary range but also builds fluency in complex sentence construction, which is essential at the B1 level.
Practical Exercises to Deepen Learning
The manual proposes engaging writing and speaking tasks. Students are invited to complete sentences like:
Îmi place profesia mea pentru că…
Dezavantajul este că…
These encourage self-expression and allow for personalized learning. At this level, language becomes a tool for talking about real-life topics with depth.
Developing Real-Life Fluency in the Workplace
Understanding how to talk about your job in Romanian also sets the stage for practical conversations—whether for interviews, networking, or chatting with Romanian-speaking colleagues. Learning how to give context, describe your tasks, and compare roles is a critical step toward real-world fluency.
