FOREWORD
At least to some of you Romania is the place where you would like to live in the coming years. Day by day, you are trying to rebuild your life in a world different from the one that you used to know and you wish to feel at home in Romania. This volume is for you, and its goal is to facilitate dialogue between you and the society that is hosting you and to help you learn Romanian. These terminologies are tools that allow an individual study of Romanian language. Each of them includes a dictionary, phrases, definitions and brief dialogues on certain topics: health, education, taking part in a job interview, industrial relations, the interaction with clerks, fundamental rights and obligations. At the end you can find a bibliography for you to know the sources of the information included in the vocabularies, which can also be a useful guide for you, in case you wish to learn about legal provisions or other information concerning the approached themes. This material is accompanied by audio recordings, which will help you learn Romanian without the help of a teacher. The six chapters are market A to F, and each group of words or phrases has a certain number assigned. Together they form a code (A1, B6...), which can be found on the corresponding MP3 file, so we hope it will be easy for you to identify the audio file corresponding to the text in Romanian. Therefore, you will be able to first read the text in a language that is familiar to you (English, Turkish, Chinese or Arabic), its translation into Romanian, as well as the audio recording of the text in Romanian. The audio files can be downloaded from http://www.adosahrom.ro/fisiereaudio. These terminologies were devised for educational purposes only, as tools to facilitate the learning of Romanian. Information is neither complete, nor comprehensive, and cannot be used other than for educational purposes. Also, information is general and makes no reference to particular cases. Dialogues are imaginary and do not necessarily reproduce the text of an official document. Only the documents and bills published by the competent bodies are deemed as authentic. Learning Romanian is a personal endeavour, which you embark on for various reasons. We want to remind you that you are not alone. There are people, organisations and institutions around you that want or have the obligation to help you. We encourage you to resort to them, because through your efforts, Romanian society too wins in diversity, becomes more tolerant and more open. The authors

Am s v explic care este procedura pentru fiecare pe rnd. Dar mai nti spunei-mi dac copiii dumneavoastr vorbesc limba romn. TCN: They can speak a little bit of Romanian, but they cannot read or write in Romanian. RTT: Vorbesc limba romn puin, ns nu tiu s scrie i s citeasc. MERYS: If you have a residency permit in Romania and your children have come here to reunite the family, they have the right to continue their studies here. Since they speak only little Romanian, they will have to take a preparatory course on Romanian language, after which they will be able to go to high-school and college respectively. MECTS: Bine, n cazul n care dumneavoastr avei un drept de edere n Romnia, iar copiii dumneavoastr au venit pentru rentregirea familiei, au dreptul s i continue studiile aici.

MERYS: With this diploma he will be able to enrol at a college in Romnia.

RTT: ns am auzit c cetenii strini trebuie s i plteasc studiile n Romnia. MERYS: Yes, there is Ordinance 22/2009 which sets the minimum amount charged by education units for foreign pupils and students. For foreign pupils, the first two years of highschool, namely the 9th and the 10th grades, are free; for the 11th, 12th and, if necessary the 13th grade, a fee of 180 Euros per month is charged.

TCN: Hello, I need you to help me with some information. Im from Senegal and I am married to a Romanian citizen. In Senegal I graduated from high-school and I also went to college for two years. I would like to get a job in Romania, but I need my diplomas to be recognized here. RTT: Bun ziua, a avea nevoie de cteva informaii de la dumneavoastr. Sunt din Senegal i sunt cstorit cu un cetean romn. n Senegal am fcut liceul i doi ani de facultate. A vrea s m angajez n Romnia, ns am nevoie ca diplomele s mi fie recunoscute aici. NCDRE: Yes, indeed. In order for you to get a job or further your studies in Romania you need diplomas that are recognized by the Romanian state. It is good you came to us, because the Center for Diploma Equivalency is in charge of these very things. CNRED: Da, ntr-adevr.

RTT: M bucur c dumneavoastr m putei ajuta. V rog s mi spunei ce trebuie s fac pentru aceasta. NCDRE: Unfortunately you do not benefit from an automatic recognition of diplomas. This would have happened if you had studied in a EU or EEA member country or if the Romanian state had concluded with Senegal an agreement on diploma recognition. Therefore, you will have to follow the entire procedure. First of all, you will submit to us an application for the recognision and equivalency of your high-school diploma. For the two years of college you will have to go to the corresponding institution in Romania, to see whether they can equivalate those years. However, they will only do that if you want to continue your studies at that college. CNRED: Din pcate dumneavoastr nu beneficiai de recunoaterea automat a diplomelor. Acest lucru s-ar fi ntmplat dac ai fi studiat ntr-un stat membru UE sau SEE sau dac statul romn ar fi semnat un acord cu Senegal pentru recunoaterea diplomelor. Deci, va trebui s urmai ntreaga procedur. n primul rnd, la noi vei aplica pentru procedura de recunoatere i echivalare a liceului i respectiv a diplomei obinute la finalizarea liceului. Pentru cei doi ani de facultate trebuie s v adresai universitii corespondente din Romnia, pentru a vedea dac v pot recunoate i echivala cei doi ani de studiu. ns acest lucru l vor face doar n cazul n care dorii s v continuai studiile la facultatea respectiv.

8A17 TCN: If I dont want to carry on my studies it means I will only have a high-school diploma recognized and equivaled in Romania. RTT: Dac eu nu vreau s mi continui studiile asta nseamn c voi avea doar o diplom de liceu recunoscut i echivalat n Romnia. NCDRE: Exactly; and in order for you to have this diploma recognized and equivalled, you will have to follow certain steps. First of all, you will need a notarized translation of all you education papers diplomas and school records. Then, you will have to bring copies of your documents: birth certificate, translated and legalized, passport, residency document, proof of having paid the fee of 50RON for file application and a standardized form that you can take from us and which you must fill in. CNRED: Exact. Iar pentru a v putea recunoate i echivala aceast diplom, trebuie s urmai nite pai. Mai nti va trebui s facei o traducere legalizat a actelor de studii diplome i foi matricole, apoi va trebui s aducei copii dup documentele dumneavoastr certificat de natere tradus i legalizat, paaport, document de edere n Romnia, dovada achitrii taxei de 50 RON, la ora actual, pentru depunerea dosarului i o cerere tip pe care o luai de la noi i o completai.

IV. Dialogues / Dialoguri 4 The procedure that must be followed in order to benefit from medical services 8A38 Procedura n vederea accesrii serviciilor medicale
TCN : Hello! Ive come to you to learn how I can benefit from medical services in Romania. I am a Syrian citizen and I am working in Bucharest. RTT: Bun ziua! Am venit la dumneavoastr pentru a vedea cum pot beneficia de servicii medicale n Romnia? Sunt cetean sirian i lucrez n Bucureti. NHIH : Are you working on an employment contract? CNAS: Lucrai cu un contract de munc? TCN: Yes, I have a contract with a company based in Syria, which has offices in Bucharest. Ive concluded the contract with that company and the contract is registered in Romania. RTT: Da, am un contract de munc cu o firm din Siria, dar care are sediu n Bucureti. Contractul este cu ei i este nregistrat n Romnia. NHIH:If you have an employment contract in Romania, it means your contributions have been paid and you are insured. CNAS: Dac dumneavoastr lucrai cu contract de munc n Romnia, nseamn c avei i contribuiile pltite i suntei asigurat. TCN: Yes, my health insurance contributions have been paid. Ive checked it today with the manager. RTT: Da, contribuiile mele pentru asigurarea medical sunt pltite la zi. L-am ntrebat chiar azi pe director. NHIH: In this case, the first step you need to take is to register with a family physician. It is advisable to chose a physician whose office is close to your home or workplace. When you register, you must have on you your passport and the residency document, as well as a certificate issued by your employer, proving that your social security obligations have been paid. CNAS: n acest caz, primul pas ar fi s v nscriei la un medic de familie. De regul, este bine s v luai un medic care are cabinet n apropierea locuinei dumneavoastr sau a locului de munc. Cnd v nscriei, s avei cu dumneavoastr paaportul i documentul de edere n Romnia (original i copie), precum i adeverina de la locul de munc, n care s fie specificat c vi se pltesc contribuiile pentru asigurri sociale.

8A39 TCN: What happens if I need a doctor? RTT: Ce se ntmpl dac am nevoie de medic? NHIH: For a simple check-up you can see the family physician. He/she can refer you to a specialist, depending on the problems you may have. The specialist will tell you whether you need to be hospitalized; but only in case you have serious problems or you need investigations under medical supervision. CNAS: Pentru consultaii simple v putei adresa i medicului de familie. Acesta v poate da o trimitere ctre un medic specialist, n funcie de problemele pe care le avei. Medicul specialist v va spune dac avei nevoie s v internai n spital. Dar asta doar n cazul n care avei probleme mai grave sau este nevoie de investigaii realizate sub supraveghere medical. TCN: What happens when I have an emergency? RTT: Dar atunci cnd am o urgen? NHIH: In case of emergency you can call 112 and ask for an ambulance. It is recommended that you did that only if you cannot go to a hospital yourself. If you can, go to the ER department, where you will get direct care. You dont need insurance there. However, if you have to be hospitalised for longer than 3 days, you will have to prove you are insured. Otherwise, you will have to pay for hospitalisation. CNAS: n caz de urgen, putei suna la numrul 112 pentru a chema o salvare. Este recomandat s facei asta doar n cazul n care nu putei ajunge singur la spital. Dac putei ajunge singur, mergei la secia de urgene i vei primi ngrijiri direct. Acolo nu v vor cere s demonstrai c suntei asigurat, ns dac vei avea nevoie de internare pentru mai mult de 3 zile, va trebui s dovedii c suntei asigurat. n caz contrar, va trebui s pltii zilele de spitalizare. TCN: Ive heard that they keep you waiting a long time in the ER unit. RTT: Totui am auzit c la urgene trebuie s atepi destul de mult. NHIH: Usually there are many people in the ER unit. So, unless you are absolutely sure its an emergency, its better if you have a referral from the family physician to a specialist. CNAS: De regul, la urgene este mult lume. Aa c dac nu suntei absolut sigur c avei o urgen, este recomandabil s v luai trimitere de la medicul de familie ctre un medic specialist.

Im feeling worse by the minute. Pacient: Da, cred c am i febr i diaree. Cred c m simt din ce n ce mai ru. Doctor: It could be either an indigestion, or flu. I will give you a prescription to buy medicine for stomach and to lower the fever. Please, in case you dont feel better in the next two days, come to see me again. Doctor: Cred c ai putea avea fie o indigestie, fie grip. Am s v dau o reet pentru a v cumpra medicamente pentru stomac i pentru a v scdea febra. V rog, n cazul n care nu v simii mai bine n urmtoarele dou zile, s venii la o nou consultaie. Patient: If I need to come and see you again, do I need another referral from my family doctor?

So, come whenever you can. I recommend that you dont go to work for a few days and rest at home. Drink many liquids and eat something light, with less fats or spices. Doctor: Nu, nu este necesar.

Excerpts from the law addressing patient rights Extrase din Legea drepturilor pacientului

8A41

TCN: I have read the law on patient rights and there are some things I didnt understand. Maybe you could help me with some additional explanation. RTT: Am citit legea drepturilor pacientului i sunt nite lucuri pe care nu le-am neles. Poate m putei ajuta cu nite explicaii suplimentare.

Thematic vocabulary

Legal advisor: Sure. Please tell me what was it that you did not understand. Jurist: Sigur. V rog s mi spunei ce nu ai neles. TCN: For instance, article 3 says that a patient has the right to be treated as a human being, with no discrimination. What does that mean more precisely? RTT: De exemplu, articolul 3 spune c pacientul are dreptul de a fi tratat ca persoan uman, fr nici o discriminare. Ce nseamn asta mai exact? Legal advisor: It means that any civil or private servant that interacts with patients shall not treat patients differently, depending on their ethnicity, nationality, skin colour, gender, etc. All patients must be treated equally. However, discrimination does exist in Romania. Jurist: Prin aceasta se nelege c nici un funcionar public sau privat care interacioneaz cu pacieni nu trebuie s fac diferenieri ntre acetia n funcie de etnie, naionalitate, culoare a pielii, sex etc. Toi pacienii ar trebui s fie tratai la fel. Cu toate acestea discriminarea exist n Romnia. TCN: And what can I do if this provision is not observed? RTT: i ce pot face dac acest lucru nu se respect? Legal advisor: As this is provided for in the law, I would say that the servant who discriminated against a patient should be told about this. If he/she denies the accusation or has an aggressive attitude, a notification should be sent to the management of the institution, be it a hospital, the National Health Insurance House, a private clinic or any other institution. In theory, the management of the institution should contact you to discuss what happened. In Romania there are institutions that deal with cases of discrimination, such as the National Concil for Combatting Discrimination. You can contact the council and they will explain what can be done in such a scase or you can ask for support from an NGO. Jurist: Avnd n vedere c aceasta este prevzut n lege, a spune c mai nti respectivului funcionar care a discriminat ar trebui s i se spun clar acest lucru. Dac respectivul neag acuzaia sau are o atitudine agresiv, ar trebui depus o sesizare la conducerea instituiei, chiar dac aceasta este un spital, Casa Naional de Asigurri de Sntate, o clinic privat sau orice alt instituie. Teoretic, conducerea instituiei ar trebui s v contacteze pentru a discuta despre cele ntmplate. n Romnia exist instituii care se ocup cu preluarea cazurilor legate de discriminare, precum Consiliul

Naional pentru Combaterea Discriminrii. V putei adresa ctre acest Consiliu, iar ei v vor explica ce se poate face n acest caz sau putei s v adresai unei organizaii neguvernamentale pentru a cere sprijin. 8A42 TCN: Its true that patients have the right to refuse to follow a doctors recommendations? RTT: Este adevrat c pacienii au dreptul de a refuza s urmeze sfaturile unor doctori? Legal advisor: Yes, the patient has the right to refuse to be blood tested and has the right to refuse any medical intervention, except for the emergency ones. Also, a patient has the right to ask for a second medical opinion about his/her case. Jurist: Da, pacientul are dreptul s refuze s i se ia analize de snge i are dreptul s refuze orice intervenie medical, cu excepia celor de urgen. De asemenea, pacientul are dreptul de a cere opinia unui alt medic, referitor la cazul su. TCN: What if the patient cannot speak Romanian? RTT: Dar dac pacientul nu vorbete limba romn? Legal advisor: the law stipulates that a patient who cannot speak Romanian shall be informed either in their mother tongue or in a language that they understand. For that, an employee who can speak the language or an interpreter will be used. Jurist: Legea prevede c informarea pacientului care nu vorbete limba romn se va face fie n limba matern a acestuia, fie ntr-o limb pe care acesta o cunoate. Pentru asta se va apela fie la un angajat care vorbete aceast limb, fie la un traductor sau interpret. TCN: Can I trust the doctor with anything? RTT: Pot avea ncredere s vorbesc orice cu medicul? Legal advisor: Yes, doctors are obliged to keep the things they discuss with their patients confidential. Irrespective of the diagnosis, they are not allowed to discuss it with a patients relatives, friends or employers without his/her consent. Jurist: Da, medicii sunt obligai s pstreze confidenialitatea asupra lucrurilor pe care le discut cu pacienii. Indiferent de diagnostic, ei nu au voie s discute cu rudele, prietenii sau angajatorii pacientului, fr acordul acestuia. TCN: I know that in Romania many people give the doctors an extra something when they need certain medical services. Is this necessary? RTT: tiu c n Romnia, muli oameni i dau ceva medicului atunci cnd au nevoie de anumite servicii medicale. Este acest lucru necesar? Legal advisor: Its not necessary; however, many people do that believeing they will benefit from better treatment. This is not necessarily true. Still, if such discrimination occurs, the hospital management should be informed. Jurist: Acest lucru nu este necesar, ns muli oameni fac asta creznd c astfel vor beneficia de un tratament mai bun. ns acest lucru nu este neaprat adevrat. Totui, dac aceste diferenieri chiar se ntmpl, ar trebui reclamat conducerii spitalului.
