Speak Romanian at Work: Daily Office Talk Practice
Learning Romanian goes beyond vocabulary lists and grammar drills. To truly speak Romanian at work, you need to connect language with your professional identity, your ambitions, and the everyday rhythm of office life. Whether you’re new to Romanian or looking to elevate your B1 skills, this conversation topic brings the office straight to your Romanian journey.
What Does It Mean to Speak Romanian at Work?
Think about your average workday. You check emails, go to meetings, delegate tasks, collaborate with colleagues, set goals, and maybe even mediate conflicts. Now imagine doing all that in Romanian. This kind of vocabulary and situational language practice is what makes intermediate learning dynamic and relevant.
In this conversation-based lesson, learners explore expressions related to professions, workplace responsibilities, teamwork, leadership, and time management. But we don’t just translate terms like “ședință” or “contract de muncă”—we use them in context.
Speak Using Real-Life Dialogue
Through the story of Maria, a multicultural team manager in Brașov, learners discover how to talk about a typical day at the office. From setting the agenda and giving feedback to handling deadlines and boosting team morale, the discussion encourages learners to reflect on their own professional routines.
What would you say to your colleague if the project deadline moved?
How do you ask for a vacation day politely?
How can you express constructive criticism respectfully?
These are just a few of the practical speaking scenarios explored in this lesson.
Boost Your Fluency Through Reflection and Interaction
We go one step further by inviting learners to personalize the topic. After exploring Maria’s workday, you’ll discuss your own career path, past roles, achievements, and future goals—all in Romanian. The structured prompts lead to meaningful reflection, while helping learners expand their range of action verbs, time expressions, and professional phrases.
Even more, learners put themselves in the shoes of a career counselor offering advice to someone who lost their job. It’s an opportunity to practice conditional forms, give supportive suggestions, and use a persuasive tone in Romanian.
Speak in a Multicultural Context
Do you work in an international team? Then you’ll relate to the challenges and strategies Maria uses to build trust, promote inclusion, and encourage teamwork. This makes the conversation deeply relevant, especially for expats or foreign professionals building careers in Romania.
