How to read and listen in Romanian
- Beginners: follow the text with your eyes while the audio plays, at a slower speed if you need it, and do the same story again the next day.
- Intermediate: listen once without reading, then again with the text, and see what you missed.
- Any level: tap the words that keep coming back. With a free account they’re saved for review, and you can export them to Anki.

Questions
Are these Romanian stories with audio free?
Yes. Every story on this page is free to read and to listen to in the browser, and neither needs an account.
Can I slow the audio down?
Yes. The player has a speed control, skips by paragraph, and follows the text as it reads, so you always know where you are.
Can I see the English while I listen?
Yes. The English sits beside each Romanian paragraph, and you can hide it until you want it. Tap any word for its meaning in that sentence.
What level are these Romanian stories?
They run from A1 to Pre-A1 on the Common European Framework, shortest first. Start where you understand most of a page.
