My two brothers asked me if I could teach them Romanian... I'm not sure how to go about doing it.
They're 12 and 10, and my parents are fluent in Romanian as well. How would we go about teaching them? Is there a certain order we should do it in? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

How good at Romanian are they? Anyhow, maybe the easiest would be to find some decent text-book and use that. At least you will have ideas - what to do, what topics to go through, etc. If, as it seems to be the case, they have some passive knowledge of the language, maybe reading a romanian book together would be a good idea?

I'd say that one way is to start with replacing certain words from English into Romanian. Start referring to the chair as the [insert Romanian word for chair]. Use the Romanian names for rooms too. Once you've got so they generally tend to recognize several of the concrete nouns, you could go on to commands or basic questions. You: "This is the chair." "Where is the chair?" Them: [points to the chair], saying "This is the chair". You: "Where is the chair?" [they point to the chair, saying this is the chair] "Where is the stove?" (they learned stove earlier, when you were just replacing words for their Romanian words, so they point to the stove, saying "This is the stove". "Where is the Living Room?" etc.
This is... That is... Where is... Is this...? Find... Bring me... Draw a... Write the word... Stand by... Basic greetings, basic polite words... I think once you've got a pretty large amount of concrete nouns, you can find a book to help with the grammar. I think that this way, there is confidence built before you hit the grammar, as sometimes grammar might be a bit of a challenge for a 10 or 12 year old. Not that they can't do it, but I think it might help to have some words under their belt already, so they won't have to learn as many words when they're faced with grammar. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
