Take a part-time Romanian course in the heart of Central London on the

University of Westminster's Modern Languages Evening Programme

 

Beginner & Post-beginner levels

 

 

Romanian is a Romance language spoken by 24-28 million people, and with Bulgarian is the newest official language of the European Union. Although the Romanian language has certain features that are unfamiliar to English speakers, there are many words you will recognise from other European languages, especially French, Italian and Spanish.

 

The Blue Guide describes Romania as one of the most beautiful countries of South-East Europe, and many will already be familiar with its unique natural beauty, medieval towns and majestic castles. But perhaps the most appealing and unforgettable is Romanian hospitality, as anyone who has experienced it will confirm.  

 

 

You can take a part-time Romanian evening class in Central London at the University of Westminster, just a few minutes from Oxford Circus.

 

The University of Westminster has always had an extensive programme of evening classes for adults. On the Modern Languages Evening Programme we have beginner and post-beginner part-time Romanian courses.

 

Our part-time Romanian evening classes run from September to May at our Central London Regent Street campus. They are taught by experienced language teaching professionals who are native speakers of the language or equivalent. Adult students of all ages and nationalities from a wide range of backgrounds take part-time Romanian courses with us. You can also join a Romanian evening class in January for the second semester if you already have some knowledge of Romanian.

 

To find out on which evening our part-time Romanian courses are held, which levels are available this year and class times, see Timetables.
