Are you ready to supercharge your Romanian listening comprehension?

Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Romanian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Romanian and English.

This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Bucharest, Transylvania, or Danube Delta? Maybe you want to speak Romanian with your grandparents from Cluj-Napoca?

Our podcast will equip you with the cultural and linguistic background necessary to fully immerse yourself in the vibrant societies of Romania and Moldova, where Romanian is predominantly spoken. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Romanian listening comprehension.
