Summary/Abstract: This approach presents an exercise for developing the plurilingual and pluricultural repertoire of foreign students learning Romanian as second language, speakers of Arabic, Bengali, Persian, Turkish or Turkmen. The methodological premises are provided by etymology studies, but also by the suggestions from the Complementary Volume with New Descriptors from 2020, which develop the descriptors from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages from 2001. The exercise aims to raise awareness of the existence of a common lexical fund of terms referring to various accommodation spaces, which entered the Romanian language mainly through the Turkish language, but with more distant origins in Arabic or Persian. Subsequently, the research followed the etymologies of these words and the evolution of their semantics, in a process of linguistic and intercultural mediation.
