Romanian Tutoring in Bali: Latin Words, Slavic Habits

Browse every private tutoring programme in Bali

• 01

  The Article Attaches at the End

  The marker for this and that attaches to the end of the noun instead of standing as a separate word in front of it. Learners used to an article in front keep putting one there.

• 02

  Nouns Change Form

  The form of a noun changes with its role in the sentence, particularly for a recipient and for possession. This behaviour is closer to the Slavic languages than to Spanish or Italian.

• 03

  Three Noun Classes

  Nouns fall into three classes, and the third behaves differently in the singular and the plural. The class is memorised with the word, because guessing it later is slower.

• 04

  Vocabulary From Two Sources

  Part of the vocabulary has Latin roots and part came from the surrounding languages. Two words of similar meaning can therefore feel entirely different in weight and register.

• 05

  Sounds With No Indonesian Equivalent

  Several vowel sounds need separate drilling because they have no equivalent in Indonesian. Practice uses word pairs where only that vowel differs.

• 06

  Scarce Learning Material

  Textbooks and recordings for this language are far fewer than for other European languages. So practice material here is drawn from real documents and broadcasts instead.

1. Stage 1

   Sounds and the Article at the End

   The alphabet and the sounds with no Indonesian equivalent come first. Alongside them, the marker at the end of the noun, drilled on words the learner already knows.

   • New vowels
   • The end marker
   • Known words

2. Stage 2

   Noun Classes and Changing Forms

   The three noun classes are memorised with the words, then the changes for a recipient and for possession are drilled through repeated sentences.

   • Three classes
   • Recipient forms
   • Possession

3. Stage 3

   Conversation and Real Material

   Broadcasts and real conversation enter here, because textbooks for this language are limited. The learner catches the point of it before the detail.

   • Broadcasts
   • Real conversation
   • The point first

4. Stage 4

   Documents and the Examination Form

   Documents the learner genuinely needs to read are worked through together: decision letters, agreements, or field reading. Examination candidates add past papers.

   • Your own documents
   • Field terminology
   • Past papers

• Prospective Students

  Learners in Bali aiming at study there who need a language examination for the application. Field reading enters from the third stage.

• Doctors and Medical Staff

  Learners in Bali preparing practice or further training there. Beyond the examination, reading decision letters is trained.

• Employees of Companies There

  Learners in Bali whose head office is there. Presentations and meetings take the larger share, practised on recordings they bring.

• Partners of Citizens There

  Learners in Bali whose partner's family speaks Romanian. Family conversation is trained, including the forms of address used with elders.

• Exporters

  Learners in Bali shipping to Eastern Europe. Reading agreements and regulations comes first, since errors on that route are expensive.

• Readers of Literature

  Learners in Bali who want to read original texts. Reading starts from passages whose vocabulary is still in use today.

1. 10 minutes

   Reading Aloud

   The learner reads a few sentences from the last session's material while the teacher marks the sounds still slipping. It also checks what stayed.

2. 15 minutes

   One Form Inside a Repeated Sentence

   One sentence is repeated with the noun swapped for another class, so the learner sees which form changes. The third class is covered last.

3. 15 minutes

   One Passage of Real Material

   A short passage from a document or a broadcast is worked through together. The passage comes from the learner's own business, so the vocabulary is immediately useful.

4. 15 minutes

   One Situation Played Out

   A situation the learner will face is played in full: an application interview, a family conversation, or a work meeting.

5. 5 minutes

   Setting the Next Material

   The teacher picks a document or recording for the next session, and the learner marks the words they do not recognise before it.

In a 90 or 120 minute session, a longer document is read through and a situation rehearsed without either being cut short, which is what learners preparing a language examination or a professional file usually choose.

• The Business You Are Dealing With

  Study, a profession, work, family, or trade. For this language that answer decides the balance and the material itself, because there is no textbook sequence to lean on.

• The Deadline That Binds You

  An examination date, an application deadline, or the month you are moving. The admin counts the sessions a month backwards from it with you.

• Real Documents You Need to Read

  Letters, forms, agreements, or application guidance you have already received. Those documents become the reading material, and they are more useful than any exercise book.

• Notes on Romance Languages You Studied

  If you have studied Spanish, Italian, or French, say so. The vocabulary will help a great deal, and two of your assumptions about grammar will need unpicking first.

• Headphones for Broadcasts

  The listening work uses real broadcasts that are not slowed down, so the sound has to be clear. Headphones you already use are the right ones.

If you hold no documents yet, say so during the consultation. The teacher brings material matched to your purpose, and it is replaced by your own papers as soon as they arrive.

  I received a scholarship to study in Romania and had to learn Romanian from nothing. The native-speaker tutor at Edupola made the learning feel very natural. Within 6 months I had passed the B1 level examination!

1. 01

   Name the Business and the Deadline

   Study, a profession, work, family, or trade, with the date that binds it. For this language that answer also decides the material.

2. 02

   Agree the Schedule

   Days, times, session length, and sessions per month are agreed with the admin, following the time zone of a native-speaker teacher, since sessions often fall early in the morning or late in the evening.

3. 03

   Matching the Teacher

   The team looks for a tutor whose travel to your location in Bali stays short, and that search runs 1 to 5 working days. Speakers of this language in Bali are very few, so the online route is prepared from the start for some areas.

4. 04

   The First Session

   You read a few sentences aloud and one of your own documents is opened, and the starting level is set from both.
