Features
Built for English speakers who want to understand, not memorise
Romanian feels locked to English speakers: cases, genders, irregular verbs, and a grammar book that assumes you already know the vocabulary. Romanian Unlocked hands over one key at a time — then lets you read it, write it, hear it and say it.
Everything in the app
One course, from A1 to B1
No add-ons and no upsells inside the app — a subscription opens all of it.
Short grammar lessons
92 lessons from A1 to B1, ordered by usefulness rather than by textbook chapter.
One grammar point per lesson, in plain English. Each one follows the same shape — the idea, the forms, the why, and the mistakes to watch out for — so you always know where you are.
Six exercise types
Every lesson makes you produce the language instead of just recognising it.
Multiple choice, fill the gap, conjugation, sentence building, matching pairs and error correction. The grader understands Romanian diacritics, so it can tell you you were one accent away rather than simply wrong.
1,250 flashcards
With plurals, gender, present forms and example sentences — the word arrives with its identity.
Fifty themed batches of twenty-five words. A card carries the forms that make the word usable: the plural, the feminine, the present tense, the register, the case it governs. Spaced repetition decides what you see next.
Romanian radio, live
Curated stations streaming in the app — so you hear fast, unedited Romanian, not textbook audio.
News and talk first: Antena Satelor for a slow A1 start, Radio România Actualități for the reference accent, RFI and Digi FM for clear diction, plus culture and music stations for exposure. A mini player keeps playing as you move around the app, and a station that will not stream hands off to its own official player instead of hanging.
Read your own books
Import a Romanian EPUB or a PDF and read it in a private library, with any phrase one long-press away.
EPUBs open as they are; a text PDF is reflowed into readable pages — up to 15 MB, selectable text only, so scanned pages need OCR first. Select a passage to translate it, ask why it is built that way, or hear it read aloud, then save the words worth keeping as flashcards or notes that go straight into your own practice. Your bookshelf stays on your device and your account; nobody else can see it.
Writing, corrected like a teacher
Answer a prompt and get your text back marked: red for what you wrote, green for the fix, and why.
A score, a best-fit CEFR band, one line of specific praise in English, and an explanation for every change. The red and green are derived from the correction itself, so the diff can never disagree with it. Every submission is kept, so you can reopen any past correction.
AI conversation partner
Practise realistic scenarios by voice or text, and get your grammar corrected.
Order in a restaurant, book a room, argue about the weather. Write or speak, and the corrections come back with the explanation — not just the fix.
AI grammar teacher
Ask about any lesson and get extra explanations and examples, scoped to what you are reading.
Open it from inside a lesson and it already knows which grammar point you are on, so you can ask the follow-up question the lesson did not answer.
Milestone exams
Four exams that draw from the whole pool, so a retake measures your Romanian, not your memory of the paper.
Each exam is a view over everything you have covered in its range and draws a fresh hundred items per sitting. Adding a lesson inside the range joins the exam automatically.
Progress that adds up
Spaced repetition, daily streaks and XP that reflect what you actually learned.
A five-level Leitner system moves each item up when you get it right and down when you do not — never resetting to zero. Progress is stored against your account, so it follows you between devices.
Monthly exercises & printables
Subscribers also get monthly practice sets and printable PDFs to work through away from the screen.
A fresh set every month, plus printable material for the days you would rather use paper. Included with your subscription, in your members area on the web.
Lesson anatomy
The same four sections, every lesson
Because the shape never changes, you spend your attention on Romanian instead of on finding your place.
The idea
One grammar point per lesson, explained in a sentence before any tables.
Why
The reason behind the rule, so it stops being something you memorise.
Watch out
The trap English speakers fall into, called out before you fall into it.
Style & register
When a form is formal, colloquial, or just sounds wrong in the wrong room.
Practice
Six exercise types, one shared grader
The grader understands Romanian diacritics and near-misses, so it can tell you that you were one accent away instead of simply marking you wrong.
- 01
Multiple choice
Pick the right form. Fast, and it teaches you to recognise the pattern before you have to produce it.
- 02
Fill the gap
Type the missing word into a real sentence, with a diacritics bar (ă â î ș ț) always within reach.
- 03
Conjugation
Give the verb its correct person and tense, so the paradigm becomes automatic rather than memorised.
- 04
Sentence building
Assemble a sentence from word tiles. It is the closest thing to speaking without a microphone.
- 05
Matching pairs
Join Romanian to English. Built for quick repetition of vocabulary in context.
- 06
Error correction
A sentence arrives already wrong — and often with the exact mistake an English speaker would make. Fix it.
For English speakers
Where English helps — and where it misleads you
Most Romanian courses are written for people who already speak a Romance language. You do not, and that changes what needs explaining.
Romanian Unlocked points out the places where your instincts will be right, and the places where they will quietly lead you astray — the false friends, the word order that sounds wrong in English but is normal here, the form that is technically correct and nobody uses.
Every Romanian example carries its English translation. Every explanation is in plain English. Nothing is left in a language you have not learned yet.
Start with one lesson, and one key
