Description
Before Romania had its name, it had the Dacians. Episode 3 takes you back to where Romanian history begins.
Written by Sefora Geantă, a native Romanian tutor, this workbook turns Episode 3 of the I Learn Romanian podcast into three graded readings built around the Dacians. You’ll work through authentic Romanian about Decebal and Trajan, Sarmizegetusa Regia, Zalmoxis, Dacian culture and traditions, and the Roman conquest that shaped the Romanian language. Every text is adapted to your level, so a beginner starts with simple sentences while an advanced learner meets the same ideas with fuller vocabulary and nuance.
The beginner text keeps sentences short and concrete, the intermediate text brings in everyday connectors and past and future tenses, and the advanced text reads like real Romanian writing on the Dacians. You move up only when you are ready, so the same episode grows with you from your first words to genuine fluency.
You learn the roots of Romania while building the grammar and vocabulary to discuss them. Because you listen and read at the same time, the language sticks far better than it does from a grammar table.
Everything is built for self-study: open the PDF, scan the QR code, and read along with the free episode at your own pace, as many times as you like. It works just as well for a daily ten-minute session as for a deep study afternoon, whether you are learning Romanian for travel, family, work, citizenship or simply the love of the Dacians.
