## What is Vorbi?

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.

18 LESSONS COVERING REAL ROMANIAN GRAMMAR
• Alphabet & pronunciation
• Pronouns and the verb "a fi" (to be)
• Indefinite and definite articles
• Noun gender (the tricky neuter!)
• Verb "a avea" (to have)
• 1st and 4th conjugation verbs
• Negation and questions
• Plural of nouns
• Numbers 1–100
• Days of week, months
• Adjective agreement
• Word order
• Prepositions of place
• Verb "a merge" + direction
• Possessive pronouns

20 EXERCISES PER LESSON (360 TOTAL)
Each lesson includes:
• Multiple choice questions
• Word order sentence building
• Fill-in-the-blank drills
• Match pairs (Romanian ↔ translation)

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
• Audio for every phrase, word, and verb form — tap to listen
• Press and hold for slow playback to catch every sound
• Uses the enhanced iOS Romanian voice when you have it installed

110 PRACTICAL PHRASES IN 6 CATEGORIES
• Cafe & restaurant
• Shops & markets
• Hospital & doctor visits
• Family & relationships
• Work & office
• Faith & ministry — Bible vocabulary, terms for Jehovah's Witnesses

PRACTICE MODES
• Flashcards — flip, see translation, mark known/unknown
• Quiz — pick the correct translation from 4 options
• Spaced repetition — for both phrases and dictionary words
• Mistake review — practice exactly the exercises you got wrong

OTHER FEATURES
• Activity calendar showing the days you actually practised
• Beautiful dark mode
• Two home screen widgets — phrase of the day and word of the day, in Romanian
• Available in English, Russian, Ukrainian
• Works offline — no account, no ads, no tracking

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.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.11 — 2026-08-19

• The dictionary doubled — 500 Romanian words now, 100 of them free, still ordered by how useful a word actually is rather than alphabetically.
• 68 verbs come with full conjugation tables, up from 28 — present, past, future and subjunctive, audio on every form, and the stem changes you cannot guess highlighted.
• Widgets fixed — "phrase of the day" and "word of the day" were asking for a newer iOS by mistake, so most iPhones could not add them at all. They now install on iOS 17 and later.
• Statistics have their own screen, opened from Учёба: current and best streak, lessons, accuracy, and a calendar of the days you actually practised.
• An unfinished lesson now waits at the top of Учёба instead of having to be hunted down.
• Stuck typing ă, â, î, ș or ț? When an answer is right except for its diacritics, Vorbi now explains how to add the Romanian keyboard.
• Redesigned throughout for iOS 26, and answer colours are finally readable in dark mode.

Vorbi is built by one person who reads every message — questions or ideas are always welcome.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-17

A big grammar update!

  • Verb conjugator: verbs in the Dictionary open a conjugation card — four tenses with color-coded endings and audio for every form. The six most essential verbs are free
  • Conjugation trainer: drill a verb's forms in a quick quiz right from its card
  • Exercises now recognize the verb in your answer and offer its conjugation card in one tap
  • Practice now covers all 18 lessons — 320 new sentence-building exercises
  • Dictionary doubled to 242 words
  • Streak freezes: miss a day and your streak survives (one freeze in the bank, a new one every 5-day stretch)
  • Adjustable daily goal: 5 to 30 exercises a day

Plus the Dictionary now reads like a real one (verbs filed under their own letter), localized hint fixes, and small corrections in lesson theory.
