The aim of the present paper is to analyse the way in which different Romanian phraseological expressions are perceived by learners of Romanian as a foreign language. Learning Romanian during preparatory seminars is quite a challenge to foreign students who intend to study at a university in Romania, as long as they need first to get acquainted with the Romanian alphabet and with the basic vocabulary, and then improve their language knowledge with structures specific to different types of speech. At the same time, they have to learn how to read a text written in Romanian, to get familiar with new lexemes and to be able to discuss on different topics chosen in accordance with the specific texts that they are studying. In following all these steps, students are liable to master the language in such a way as to give their own judgement on any text, starting from their own ideas.
