Vorbi: Learn Romanian

Learn practical Romanian — structured grammar, real-life phrases, and tap-to-hear pronunciation. Perfect for expats, travelers, and curious minds

Vorbi is the Romanian grammar app I wish existed when I moved to Romania. No fluff, no gamified tricks — just clear lessons, exercises, and the phrases you actually need.

18 LESSONS COVERING REAL ROMANIAN GRAMMAR • Alphabet & pronunciation • Pronouns and the verb "a fi" (to be) • Indefinite and definite articles • Noun gender (the tricky neuter!) • Verb "a avea" (to have) • 1st and 4th conjugation verbs • Negation and questions • Plural of nouns • Numbers 1–100 • Days of week, months • Adjective agreement • Word order • Prepositions of place • Verb "a merge" + direction • Possessive pronouns

20 EXERCISES PER LESSON (360 TOTAL) Each lesson includes: • Multiple choice questions • Word order sentence building • Fill-in-the-blank drills • Match pairs (Romanian ↔ translation)

Resume practice anywhere — your progress is saved automatically when you close the app.

SENTENCE-BUILDING PRACTICE Beyond the lessons, drill real sentence construction: verb conjugations, noun gender, negation, question words — the stuff that makes you think, not just recognize. New grammar topics added regularly. Got something wrong? It's saved separately so you can revisit exactly what tripped you up.

A GROWING ROMANIAN DICTIONARY Searchable, ordered by how useful each word actually is — not by random category. Includes a "Learn Dictionary" mode with spaced repetition, so new words actually stick.

200+ PRACTICAL PHRASES IN 6 CATEGORIES • Cafe & restaurant • Shops & markets • Hospital & doctor visits • Family & relationships • Work & office
• Faith & ministry — Bible vocabulary, terms for Jehovah's Witnesses

PRACTICE MODES • Flashcards — flip, see translation, mark known/unknown • Quiz — pick the correct translation from 4 options • Spaced repetition — for both phrases and dictionary words • Mistake review — practice exactly the exercises you got wrong

OTHER FEATURES • Beautiful dark mode • Two home screen widgets — phrase of the day and word of the day, in Romanian • Available in English, Russian, Ukrainian • Works offline — no account, no ads, no tracking

WHO IT'S FOR • Expats and immigrants in Romania (Bucharest, Cluj, Iași, Timișoara…) • Travelers planning longer stays • People in mixed Romanian-speaking families • Jehovah's Witnesses serving Romanian-speaking communities

WHAT'S NOT HERE
• No mascots, no XP grinding • No AI tutor pretending to know your language • No subscription — buy once, own forever

Built by one indie developer, not a venture-funded edtech.
