About
Meet Vorbă
A focused, modern way to learn Romanian — words, grammar, and real stories in one learning loop.
Vorbă — Romanian for "word" or "speech" — is a language-learning app that helps English speakers actually retain Romanian. Instead of streaks and gimmicks, it centers on the one thing that builds fluency: seeing the right word, in context, at the right time.
Our mission
Romanian is a beautiful, under-served Romance language, and good learning tools for it are scarce. We built Vorbă to give serious learners a path from their very first word to reading classic Romanian literature — clear, structured, and respectful of your time.
How it works
Spaced repetition. Every vocabulary item moves through a ten-stage memory ladder — from Scânteie (spark) to Soare (sun). Reviews are scheduled just before you would forget a word, so study sessions stay short and what you learn actually sticks.
Structured grammar. Example-driven grammar lessons written specifically for English speakers walk you from the alphabet and pronunciation through cases, tenses, and the subjunctive.
Reading real Romanian. Classic Romanian folk tales are presented word by word. Tap any word for an instant translation and grammar note, so authentic input is approachable from early on.
Progress that follows you. Levels, daily goals, and accuracy stats sync across web, iOS, and Android, so you can learn on whichever device is closest.
Free and premium
You can browse the full Romanian vocabulary catalog and learn Level 1 for free, without an account. A free account saves your progress and adds spaced-repetition reviews. Premium unlocks every vocabulary level, the full grammar course, and all story content. There are no ads, and we never sell your data.
Who makes it
Vorbă is built and operated by Dacia Learning LLC, an independent studio focused on high-quality language-learning software. We are a small team that cares about getting the Romanian right — content is reviewed for accuracy and written to teach, not just to gamify.
