Hi,

And thanks for your comment.
I will install later today iTunes to see how it is working with it.
I am using the podcast software on my mobile and it seems to work fine.

I will let you know later.

Florin.

Hi again,

As promised, I have checked the podcast with the iTunes, and I had no problem downloading the episodes.

Please make sure to set to download all episodes, not only the last one.
(Settings -> Podcasts -> When new episodes are available "Download all")

Hope this helps,
Florin.

Hi, Florin... or I'd rather say: Salut!! Thank you for posting these lessons, they are so useful to me, I am trying to learn Romanian out of pure curiosity just because I was born in Bucuresti but I'm Italian. Listening to a native speaker does the trick!! Many greetings and keep up the good work :) Alessandra

Hi Alessandra,

It's great to hear you found it useful. I'll try to keep up the pace with all you those who are interested in this.

Good luck with the learning!

Buna dimineata,

Eu sunt Mikhael. I really appreciate what you are doing with this weekly lesson guide, and look forward to you keeping up with it. It has been really hard to find good resources for learning the Romanian language, and you are really putting a lot of time and energy into helping people such as myself. I congratulate you on a job well done, and can't wait for my skills to grow.

Many thanks, and La revedere!

Mikhael

Salut, Florin!

I am very happy to have finally found this website. I have been studying Romanian for a couple of years now, and it has been almost impossible to find good interactive study materials on the internet.

This podcast program is very similar to some other successful podcast programs that I use for French and Italian, so I can tell you that you will definitely have much success here once more people discover this wonderful website.

I hope that in time, you will be putting up more advanced podcasts, as well as perhaps some podcasts that tell about Romanian culture. The language is beautiful, and I would very much like to learn more about you and the people who speak it.

La revedere,

Lee

Hi,

Thanks for your comment. I will consider having advanced lessons, I am working on extending the website too, but this will take time, as this is a hobby for me.

Good luck!
Florin.
