Italian vs Romanian - FAQ
- Is Italian or Romanian harder to learn?
- We won't rank them: it depends on what you already speak. Both conjugate the same way (verbs change according to who is acting), and Semantix drills 6 tenses in Italian against 6 in Romanian.
- Can I practise speaking both?
- Yes. The tutor speaks both Italian and Romanian aloud, and both support pronunciation practice with your microphone.
