Vorbi is the Romanian grammar app I wish existed when I moved to Romania. No fluff, no gamified tricks — just clear lessons, exercises, and the phrases you actually need.

• 1st and 4th conjugation verbs
• Negation and questions
• Plural of nouns
• Numbers 1–100
• Days of week, months

20 EXERCISES PER LESSON (360 TOTAL)
Each lesson includes:

Resume practice anywhere — your progress is saved automatically when you close the app.
SENTENCE-BUILDING PRACTICE
Beyond the lessons, drill real sentence construction: verb conjugations, noun gender, negation, question words — the stuff that makes you think, not just recognize. New grammar topics added regularly. Got something wrong? It's saved separately so you can revisit exactly what tripped you up.
500-WORD ROMANIAN DICTIONARY
Searchable, ordered by how useful each word actually is — not alphabetically, not by random category. 100 words are free. Includes a "Learn Dictionary" mode with spaced repetition, so new words actually stick.
VERB CONJUGATOR — 68 VERBS
Tap any verb for full conjugation tables — present, past, future, and subjunctive — with audio for every form and a quick trainer to drill them. Stem changes are marked, because those are the ones you cannot guess from the infinitive. Six core verbs (a fi, a avea, a merge, a vrea, a putea, a face) are completely free.
HEAR REAL ROMANIAN

110 PRACTICAL PHRASES IN 6 CATEGORIES

OTHER FEATURES
• Activity calendar showing the days you actually practised
• Beautiful dark mode

WHO IT'S FOR
• Expats and immigrants in Romania (Bucharest, Cluj, Iași, Timișoara…)
• Russian- and Ukrainian-speakers in Moldova learning the state language
• Travelers planning longer stays
• People in mixed Romanian-speaking families
Romanian is also the official language of Moldova (Chișinău, Bălți…), so Vorbi works just as well whether you're in Bucharest or Chișinău.
WHAT'S NOT HERE
• No mascots, no XP grinding
• No AI tutor pretending to know your language
• No subscription — buy once, own forever
Built by one indie developer, not a venture-funded edtech.
A free trial includes lessons 1–5, 2 phrase categories, 100 dictionary words, and full conjugation for six core verbs. The Vorbi Pro lifetime unlock opens lessons 6–18, all 500 words, and 4 more phrase categories — one payment, forever.
Made for everyone who needs to learn Romanian for real life, not for an exam.
