Romanian Lessons A2: Talk About Health and the Human Body

Getting sick isn’t ideal, but it’s a powerful opportunity to grow your vocabulary—especially in a new language. In our Romanian lessons for A2 learners, we explore how to express symptoms, describe how you feel, and identify body parts accurately, all within practical, real-life situations such as going to the doctor. This essential unit helps learners feel more confident when speaking about health, whether they’re in a medical setting or simply chatting with friends about wellness.

Visiting the Doctor in Romanian: Key Phrases and Grammar

At this level, learners begin by expanding their vocabulary with expressions related to common illnesses, like colds and the flu. Through a short, dialogue-based narrative, students meet Radu, who visits a university doctor because he has a sore throat, muscle pain, a fever, and a cough. This context introduces vital phrases such as:

• Îmi curge nasul (My nose is running)

• Am febră (I have a fever)

• Tușesc (I’m coughing)

• Mă doare capul (My head hurts)

The story not only helps with vocabulary acquisition but also provides a model for doctor-patient interactions in Romanian. Learners become familiar with phrases for expressing symptoms and understanding medical instructions, such as stați în pat două zile (stay in bed for two days) or bea ceaiuri calde (drink warm teas).

Grammatically, this lesson reinforces reflexive structures like mă doare (it hurts me) and verb conjugations in the present tense. It also models imperative forms used in medical advice, such as luați loc (take a seat) and respirați (breathe).

Body Vocabulary in Romanian: From Head to Toes

Complementing the health expressions, the second part of the lesson focuses on learning the names of body parts. While learners are encouraged to compare them to terms in their native language, the lesson emphasizes the Romanian equivalents of essential anatomy:

• cap – head

• gât – throat

• mână – hand

• picior – leg

• ochi – eye

• ureche – ear

This knowledge is especially valuable in real-world scenarios like doctor visits, but it also supports future conversation topics such as describing appearance, expressing pain, or engaging in sports and wellness contexts.

Pronunciation of Romanian body terms is relatively straightforward due to phonetic spelling, but learners are guided to pay attention to vowel clarity and stress, which can affect intelligibility.

Applying What You Learn: Role-Playing and Writing

To consolidate these skills, learners engage in activities such as role-playing a visit to the doctor or completing a body chart by labeling parts in Romanian. These tasks reinforce both vocabulary retention and functional language usage. Asking and answering questions about how you feel, or simulating a dialogue with a pharmacist, makes learning both meaningful and memorable.
