                   Greetings to all our pupils, students, and fellow teachers!

            Dear colleagues,
                      Our Handbook/Textbook, The Romanian language, culture, history
            and   traditions,   an   identity   and   global   Passport  represents   an   immediate
            resource  to teach our pupils and students how to  start, quickly  advance  and
            easily  improve  their  language,  conversation,  reading,  comprehension  and
            writing skills  in Romanian, while  acquiring important information  about the
            culture, traditions, and history of the country of Romania.


            Dear pupils and students,

                      Here is a gift for you: The Romanian language learning by means
            of short lessons for any level of knowledge and at any time!
                      This  pocket textbook  will help you  learn  and  fall  in  love  with the
            Romanian language, regardless of your age (from 7 to 70 years plus).
                      Why?   Because  it   is   a   beautiful,   musical,   and   easy-to-learn
            language, a sister language to all the Romance ones (Italian, Spanish, French
            and  Portuguese). Through it, you will  become  good  speakers  and  writers,
            ready to pass the tests and exams that you will have to face both in Romania
            and/or abroad. You will also be able to represent the country with pride!

                1. How is the Romanian language? __________________________ .

                2. What are its sister languages?    ___________________________.

                3. What is our present/gift for you? _________________________ .



                      We invite you to start your excursion that represents a less common


            travel, to get to know your roots, to gain knowledge about your ancestors, to


            understand  the  nation you are part of through your  hereditary baggage. Or
            simply, to learn about a civilization that is over 2000 years old: The Romanian
            one!
                      ROMANIA is a country not too large in terms of the surface area,
            but famous both for its ancient history (over 2000 years) and for its modern
            culture, a country that deserves the world's attention:
                      From the Thinker of Hamangia to Sarmizegetusa , with megaliths so
            similar to  /like  those at Stonehenge in England, to the  ruins  of  Trajan's
