Dificultăţi de învăţare a unor termeni de rudenie din limba română din perspectiva vorbitorilor arabi
Difficulties in Learning Romanian Family Relation Names from the Perspective of Arab Speakers

Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with language acquisition, and focuses on the learning of some Romanian kinship terms by Arabic speakers who studied in Romania. After having had long talks with Arabic students, the author found out some possible causes that make learning of some Romanian kinship terms seem difficult for Arabic speakers. As Romanian does not distinguish between relatives on mother’s side and relatives on father’s side, it is a bit strange for Arabic speakers to use only one Romanian kinship term to designate their maternal and paternal relatives simultaneously. However, the author noticed that the communicative method is one of the best methods for a proper learning of some Romanian kinship terms.
