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. A FEW MINUTES A DAY One button on Learn: today's review of grammar, words and phrases, plus the next few questions of your lesson. There is a quick one too: shorter, mostly picking an answer. ONE NATURAL VOICE, OFFLINE Words, phrases, examples, dialogues and every verb form — over 10,000 recordings. A word is spoken as you open it, the right answer once you check. 25 DIALOGUES — AND YOU SAY HALF THE LINES Read a real conversation, check you followed it, then play it: the other person speaks, your turn arrives as its meaning in your own language, and the Romanian has to come from you. Tiles, keyboard or your own voice — you choose. Nothing in it is scored, because a first attempt at speaking should never make a result worse. A cafe, a neighbour, the shop, the doctor, a 112 call, asking the way — and giving it, when the courier cannot find your building. The bank, the residence permit, a nursery place, a job interview. Tap any word in any line to see what it means. 26 LESSONS COVERING REAL ROMANIAN GRAMMAR From the alphabet and noun gender, through articles, plurals, adjective agreement, prepositions and word order, to the parts nobody explains properly: perfect compus and the imperfect, the future, the subjunctive (vreau să, trebuie să), reflexive verbs, the genitive-dative with al / a / ai / ale, "pe" before a person with its doubled pronoun, and the order the short pronouns come in. 20 EXERCISES PER LESSON — 520 IN ALL Multiple choice, sentence building from word tiles, fill-in-the-blank, matching pairs. SENTENCE-BUILDING PRACTICE — 25 SETS, 1000 EXERCISES One set per lesson, to the end of the course: conjugations, gender, negation, question words — the stuff that makes you think, not just recognise. Anything you get wrong is kept aside to drill separately. TRAIN YOUR EAR The skill that fails first in the country. A word is played and you pick which of two spellings it was: casă or casa, nas or naș, fată or față, ban or bani — the endings where Romanian keeps its article, its gender and its plural. Then dictation: hear a line, write it down — missing diacritics are forgiven. 1500-WORD DICTIONARY, THREE LEVELS OF 500 Core, everyday, confident — chosen by how often the words are really spoken. 972 come with a spoken example; 100 are free. "Learn Dictionary" uses spaced repetition and has you build the word from its letters inside a real sentence. Each lesson lists its words. VERB CONJUGATOR — 304 VERBS Full tables — present, past, future, subjunctive — with a trainer. Stem changes are marked: those you cannot guess from the infinitive. Reflexives keep their pronoun: mă duc, m-am dus. Six core verbs are free. 271 PRACTICAL PHRASES IN 11 CATEGORIES Meeting people, cafe, shops, the doctor, family, work, travel, and a category of Bible vocabulary. Hold the speaker for slow playback. ALSO • Mistake review — practise exactly what you got wrong • Activity calendar, dark mode, two widgets • English, Russian and Ukrainian interface • Offline — no account, no ads, no tracking • iCloud sync across your devices (Vorbi Pro) WHO IT'S FOR Expats in Romania; Russian- and Ukrainian-speakers in Moldova learning the state language; mixed families. Romanian is also Moldova's official language, so Vorbi works the same in Bucharest or Chișinău. WHAT'S NOT HERE No mascots, no XP grinding, no AI tutor pretending to know your language, and no subscription. Built by one indie developer, not a venture-funded edtech. The free trial includes the daily session, the trial lesson and lessons 1–5, 3 dialogues with their roleplay, 4 practice sets, a listening set, 3 phrase categories, 100 dictionary words and six conjugated verbs. Vorbi Pro opens lessons 6–26, the other 22 dialogues, all 1500 words and 8 more phrase categories — one payment, forever.
