Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about learning Romanian with Cadentia
Why should I learn Romanian?
Romanian is spoken by over 25 million people and is the official language of Romania and Moldova. It's the closest living language to Latin, making it a fascinating bridge to understanding Romance language evolution. Romania's growing tech sector and EU membership make it increasingly valuable for business and travel.
How hard is Romanian compared to other Romance languages?
Romanian has a steeper initial curve than Spanish or Italian due to its case system and postposed definite articles. However, its highly phonetic spelling makes pronunciation predictable, and roughly 70% of vocabulary shares Latin roots with other Romance languages. With the right practice, the cases become intuitive.
What are postposed definite articles?
Unlike other Romance languages where "the" comes before the noun (el libro, le livre), Romanian attaches the definite article to the end of the word. For example: "carte" (book) becomes "cartea" (the book), and "om" (man) becomes "omul" (the man). Cadentia specifically drills these patterns until they become second nature.
How does Cadentia help with Romanian cases?
Our AI detects case errors in real-time during conversation. When you mix up nominative and accusative forms, or struggle with genitive constructions like "casa prietenului" (the friend's house), the system logs the pattern and creates targeted flashcards. Spaced repetition ensures you practice your weak spots until they're automatic.
Why are there so few Romanian learning resources?
Romanian's 25 million speakers make it a "medium-sized" language that often gets overlooked by major language apps focused on Spanish, French, and German. Most existing resources are outdated textbooks or basic phrasebooks. Cadentia fills this gap with modern AI-powered practice specifically tuned for Romanian's unique challenges.
Can I practice both Moldovan and Romanian dialects?
Yes! While the written language is essentially identical, Cadentia supports both Romanian and Moldovan pronunciation variants. You can choose your preferred voice and practice with natural-sounding speech that matches the region you're interested in.
