Learning Romanian Through Real-Life Stories: Speak about Yourself, Family, Friends, and Identity

Learning Romanian can be so much more than memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary. One of the best ways to immerse yourself in a new language is by exploring personal stories that feel both authentic and relatable. This week’s Romanian language conversation theme invites you to reflect on who you are, where you come from, and the people who shape your world. You will speak in Romanian about Yourself, Family, Friends, and Identity

Whether you’re just beginning your B1 journey or returning after a break, this topic offers a perfect opportunity to reconnect with your roots—this time, in Romanian.

Who Are You in Romanian? Let’s Talk Identity

Imagine introducing yourself not just by name and job, but by speaking about your interests, family background, and what matters to you. This unit introduces essential vocabulary and phrases that help you describe:

• Your age, nationality, and profession

• Your family members (from “mama” and “tatăl” to “verișoară” and “socru”)

• Your personality traits and hobbies

• How you relate to friends and community

These are not just words on a page—this is language you’ll use every day.

Real Voices, Real Romanian: Meet Maria

To make it real, meet Maria—a young woman from Spain who’s now living in Brașov. In this conversation exercise, you’ll discover how Maria balances her life between two cultures, keeps in touch with loved ones abroad, and builds strong friendships in a new city.

Without spoiling the story, let’s just say it’s full of relatable moments: weekend hikes, virtual calls with family, and cultural discoveries. Her story is more than reading practice—it’s a mirror to your own.

Now You Try: Let’s Talk About You

Here’s a little interactive task for you. Take a moment and write down—in Romanian if you can:

• Where are you from?

• What do your parents do?

• Who is your closest friend and why?

• How do you keep in touch with people who live far away?

Not sure how to say it? This conversation module includes vocabulary lists and fill-in-the-blank activities to help you get there step by step. Perfect for self-study or classroom discussion!

Why This Topic Matters at the B1 Level

Among the early intermediate conversation topics, speaking about personal identity and relationships is essential. At B1, you begin to speak with more depth and emotional nuance. You’re no longer just saying “My name is Ana.” You’re now explaining why you chose to move to Romania, or how you celebrate birthdays with your extended family.

This builds not just fluency, but confidence.
