Colea was Păstorel’s favorite chef. With almost 70-years’ experience in culinary art, Nicolae Olexiuc is one of the first Romanian cookbook authors. He worked at most successful restaurants in Bucharest, training many cooks, and, inspired by Păstorel’s saying that “A good cookbook is like a marble step into evolving civilization” began to write.

Apart from it being an easy language to learn, studying Romanian comes with so many benefits. Here are just a few: When you've finished your two beginner's courses you'll be at the lower intermediate stage - at best!

If the language criterion is not taken into account, then the list could very well comprise hundreds of Hungarian (and German) writers (who are born in Romania and who also may have written about Romania but NOT in Romanian). And that would mean the authors from the Republic of Moldova (Vieru, Dabija, etc.) should be deleted from the list because they might not be born in Romania or lived here and may not necessarily have written about Romania but the Soviet Union. I'm just trying to show how silly this would be.

And if that wasn't enough, you'd have already forgotten both the word as well as what you were reading at the moment you put down the dictionary. As soon as you recognize it in another context, you'll get the feeling of "wait a minute, I already knew that!" And something you only had a slight understanding of will suddenly become much more solid in your recollection. There are, however, versions available for French and German speakers. So if you understand one of these languages, you might want to have a look at Assimil. Senate or Senat (136 seats; members directly elected in single- and multi-seat constituencies - including 2 seats for diaspora - by party-list, proportional representation vote; members serve 4-year terms) When you've finished your beginner's courses and you've established a daily routine of reading every day, it's time to begin actually speaking and writing Romanian.It does however allow you to read fluently and without frustration in Romanian, and that's very helpful. Get access to the wonderful Romanian culture. From literature to music to food, it’s much more enjoyable when you know the language. There are many other ways that you can turn neutral word-translations into something less forgettable, and I'll mention a few later in this article. So keep reading! Get a beginner's Romanian textbook If you make a routine out of studying with Teach Yourself in the morning, I suggest that you schedule some daily time to study with DLI in the evening. Start reading daily in Romanian Whenever you start out with your first beginner's course, I always recommend the same thing: Do a second one in the same time!

Having tighter knit threads of information in your head strengthens the memory of that word significantly! I have to assume, however, that you don't speak neither French nor German. (But if you do, good for you!) This method obviously doesn't magically teach you all the words that you need to understand the Romanian version of the book. This will give you the experience of "recognizing" something. So instead of the word being a neutral piece of information weakly floating around in a soup of foreign sounds in your brain, it'll suddenly become "that word". From the 450 intriguing and easy to follow recipes you will learn all about delicious Romanian sauces and how to make the most of the cheapest cuts of meat. The secret lies in the artful use of herbs and spices.

The chapters on Romanian folklore, history, and culture sprinkled among the recipes gives the recipes context, and are a fount of information for while you are waiting for the food to finish. Painting a delicious picture of his native country’s culinary possibilities, Nicolae Klepper gives you usual extras for a dinner party, such as stuffed vegetables and various mămăligă (the Romanian polenta).

Converse with not just Romanians and Moldovans but also Romanian speakers in Hungary, Ukraine, and even in the United States. You don't have to spend all of your savings on Romanian beginner's courses, however, because there's a good course out there that's free! At this point you can do the exercises and drills as well. But again - don't sweat it. The dialogues is the most important part. So, if you’re looking to travel or simply add more Romanian to your brain, this is a good way to do so. It is really very easy: H. Müller (excepting her poems from "Este sau nu este Ion"), G. von Rezzori or C.D. Florescu are not part of Romanian literature the same way as, say, Joseph Conrad is not part of Polish or Ukrainian literature. That doesn't mean they cannot appear in a list titled "literature by authors born in Romania"or "literature by authors who wrote books about Romania"
