2. Romanian greetings: meeting people – introducing yourself

☑ Greet people formally and informally

☑ Introduce yourself formally and informally

☑ Say goodbye formally and informally

☑ Making wishes in Romanian language

☑ Greeting and farewell culture in Romania

You’ve heard the saying, “You only have one opportunity to make a first impression.” While it may be a cliché, it is true. A positive first impression is an important start to building a relationship with other people or – as a business representative – with your customers. One Romanian introductory sentence, at the right moment and place, may have a tremendous impact on your future (business) relations.

In just seven lessons, less than 90 minutes you will master the basic sentences used when meeting Romanians. Focus of the course is on learning the:

• formal / business and informal greetings
• formal / business and informal ways to introduce yourself
• formal / business and informal ways to say Goodbye
• cultural challenges in relation to greetings, introducing yourself, farewells

This course aims to deliver you not only a set of phrases that you may use in first time interactions with Romanians, but it will also highlight the implications of using these sentences in various situations, fully aware of the – normally hidden – cultural challenges. Wishes-phrases, used in Romanian by a non-native, will touch the soul of any Romanian and your efforts to learn will be rewarded by a brilliant start for your (business) relations.

For some people this might be just another language course. I would say, the ultimate goal of this this course, is to enable you to successfully connect to Romanians from the first moment you meet them, using the right introductory sentences, at the right time and place, taking into account the specific cultural issues.
