All the sections about the various aspects of grammar eventually become increasingly important, and I cannot imagine a better way of presenting the Romanian grammar – especially to English speakers –, than it’s done in Nico’s book. Same goes for the well explained basic rules that allow you to take an educated guess on which of the three variants of gender apply to the nouns – which is very helpful when you happen to not know the true gender of a word that you are just about to use. One other thing that I haven’t found anywhere else, at least not with this detail, is the section that helps you to understand the patterns of verb conjugation, bringing some order into the chaos. And a nice extra is, that throughout the book, EVERY word has that one letter printed in bold, which you’ll have to stress in speech. that you’ll most likely find yourself needing first, as you practice the language. There is this part in the beginning that’s pages over pages of vocabulary, that turns out to be a really practical choice of nouns, verbs, etc. But there is more too her book than just the way she has put her unique style into it. Speaking of the exercises: somehow Nico managed to put exercises together that are both practically useful and at the same time, also the exercise contents themselves are funny and always in some way really entertaining. Lots of little humorous drawings accompany almost every page, always picking up the context of either the lessons part or that of the exercises. When you look at it, you’ll understand why it has been a long way coming.

And you know what? The book even exceeded my expectations! In her unique style, Nico managed to put together – in my opinion – a new reference for the quality language books. I was hoping that it would somehow be able to continue to fun part of learning, as I go for acquiring a much deeper understanding of the language, than one can get from the videos.

Knowing the video series of “Learn Romanian With Nico”, which are incredibly good and truly make learning fun, I had ordered this book with no small expectations to be honest.
