✓
First and foremost, IH Bucharest emphasizes the benefits of conversation, encouraging and challenging our clients to express themselves more, so that they become more confident and efficient language users in a short period of time.
✓
Our goal is to enable our students to communicate better and more fluently in their daily life. Our courses are also tailored to each individual client's needs, as part of a portfolio including classes of Romanian for special purposes (e.g. business, diplomacy, etc.)
✓
The use of stimulating visual and audio course materials is meant to expose students to natural language in a wide range of relevant contexts.
✓
The method IH Bucharest has always used implies total language immersion, i.e. exclusive use of Romanian during the teaching process. Therefore, no intermediary language is used, which makes for fast and extremely efficient learning.
Let us proudly mention "famous non-native learners of Romanian whom we natives, teachers or otherwise, see on TV, hear on the radio, and feel greatly impressed by: when the Ambassador of Japan gives a speech in perfect Romanian, when an Austrian CEO makes a public statement in perfect Romanian, we know they respect us, they understand us, they value us, and we give nothing less in return. To them, as well as to us, whether in business or arts, Romanian is mutual trust.”
