This is a running list I keep for my own use, and very much a work in progress. I am interested in acquiring a basic understanding of the major and minor Romance languages, but also in cross-Romance study — teaching resources that draw on the learner’s existing knowledge of one or more Romance languages. I am also interested in international or regional varieties. If you have suggestions for interesting resources, please email me at irinaalexandradumitrescu at gee-mail.
