Learning Romanian vocabulary
Foreign language vocabulary building can be one of the more time consuming aspects of learning a language, and one that can not be ignored. Fortunately, there are various methods you can use to speed the process up, or at least to add a little spice.
Make a vocabulary list
The most obvious way to learn Romanian vocabulary is by making a vocabulary list and learning it.
One thing to remember about learning and memory is that it is easier to retain language when active learning is involved. Organize your vocabulary list. Don’t just write it. Put the words into an order that makes sense to you. (Active learning). It is also easier to learn words by category, so group words by category e.g. animals, fruit etc.
Romanian words have a gender and can be masculine, feminine or neuter. Try grouping words according to its gender.
Associate an English word with the Romanian word you need to learn.
Romanian is a Romance language and so has similarities with languages such as Spanish, Italian etc. If you have some knowledge of these, you may find it helpful associating Romanian words with these as well.
The difficulty with using word association and lists as vocabulary learning tools is that they do not help you use the word. This is because they don’t give you any idea as to the context in which it should be used.
Learn Romanian words by writing words you are trying to learn on everyday items.
This is an easy way to expand your vocabulary. All you need to do is glance at the writing every time you use the item. So not only have you associated the word with the object, something that a straight vocabulary list does not do, but you are more likely to remember it when you need it
