Romanian · Română · AI speaking partner
Romanian, the Latin language with a twist.
If you know Italian or Spanish, Romanian looks friendly: "bună ziua", "mulțumesc", "cât costă". Then the article attaches to the end of the noun, the cases appear, and the Slavic vocabulary shows up. It is the Romance language learned by speaking it, because the books are few.
Your AI partner talks with you in Romanian daily, corrects the article and the ending on screen, and keeps the conversation going.

Why Romanian is hard to speak
What stops learners talking, and what fixes it.
The article at the end
"Om" is a man; "omul" is the man; "omului" is to the man. The ending does the work of three English words. Learned by using it.
Genitive and dative
Romanian kept the cases the other Romance languages dropped. "Cartea fetei", "i-am dat fetei": corrected in real time, they become automatic.
The sounds ă, â, î
Three vowels English lacks, in the commonest words ("să", "când", "în"). Word Mode makes the ear hear the difference.

Questions
Before you start speaking Romanian
I speak Italian. How much Romanian will I understand?
A lot on paper and less by ear, until the sounds settle. Speaking daily is where the gap closes, because the partner catches each Italian ending that leaks in.
Does it cover Moldovan Romanian?
The same language; ask your partner for the Moldovan vocabulary and pace and it adjusts.
Are the corrections explained in my own language?
Yes. You choose the language you already speak at setup (English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and 50 more), and explanations in Start from Zero and Word Mode come in it while the practice stays in Romanian.
Is Romanian practice free?
