Hm, I should've studied Russian to use this course. I've just begun my 1 Week Challenge for Romanian and I just don't have enough material for one week. I've found a few podcasts for beginning Romanian, but nothing comprehensive. I couldn't even find a single Romanian audiobook. What's audiobook in Romanian?

Thuan, I randomly googled 'audiocărţi română' and found this: http://www.audiocarti.eu/
You'll have to register. Apparently, you're allowed one free audiobook per day and you'll need a paid subscription if you want more.

This one is free and seems to be legal. It's the literature and poetry Romanians study in school (mostly poetry though), and many of them are also available on the Romanian Wikisource:
http://www.carteaaudio.ro/

I suspect this could also be useful:
http://wwitv.com/portal.htm

There's more on p2p, but I won't post here as I'm unsure whether they're legal.

Another possible variation on 'audiocărţi' (or 'cărţi audio') might be 'cărţi sonore'.

Good luck! I'd be happy to help you if you need to find other resources or if you have any questions (although I don't speak 'what they'd call the prestige dialect in Bucharest' I do my best to stick to standard Romanian).

Thanks for the links Christiana!
At least something to work with. http://www.audiocarti.eu/ is great resource, though I have to admit that I don't know any of the Romanian writers and poets (I only knew Eminescu from Strada Eminescu, Pimsleur Romanian). So I downloaded the first file of Jules Verne's "Five weeks in a balloon", never heard about that one before, but I found an English text on Project Gutenberg. Good quality, but it will take me 44 days to download the complete audiobook (1 file per day allowed).

I'm watching news in Romanian right now with http://wwitv.com/portal.htm . I don't really understand anything yet, but I enjoy listening to the sound of the Romanian language.

Unless I find another audiobook for Romanian, I plan to create a L-R text for five weeks in a balloon.

May I add my own website?
It doesn't have audio and it's just for beginners, but if you ever need translations...

Here it is
