two-part dissertation, on the above-mentioned subject, as well as the homage to
the "Mother's Day". He also offered some poetry readings from the

Domnita Dumitrescu, professor of Spanish
linguistics at California State University, Los Angeles, has just published, in
collaboration with Dan Munteanu Colan, professor of Romance languages at the
University of Las Palmas (Canary Islands, Spain) a Spanish grammar for the use
of speakers of Romanian. Published by the Niculescu Publishing House, the
368-page book, entitled Limba spaniolă, is part of the series Vrei sa stii
daca stii..., and contains 1850 grammar exercises, with an answer key and
grammatical explanations. The book was "launched" at the Cervantes
Institute in Bucharest, on July 1, 2005, and the event was advertised in
several Romanian publications, including România libera, Cronica româna and
Ziua. The director of the Cervantes Institute, Ioana Zlotescu Simatu,
introduced the speakers, who were: Professor Tudora Sandru- Mehedinti, who
presented the book, the Niculescu Publishing House associate director, Ms.
Niculescu, the book editor, Ms. Teodora Pavel, and Domnita dumitrescu, who
spoke on her own behalf and also read a Spanish text sent by her co-author, Dan
Munteanu, for the occasion. A champagne reception followed. The audience
included numerous college professors, students, and researchers, including Dr.
Marius Sala, from the Romanian Academy, Dr. Sand Renheimer-Rîpeanu, former dean
of the College of Foreign languages at the University of Bucharest, etc. A former
professor of Spanish at the University of Bucharest, Domnita Dumitrescu still
enjoys a great popularity in her native country, due to the Spanish textbooks
she published there before emigrating to the US, in 1984, and which many
students considered to be their “bible” for many years. Since 1987, she has
been teaching at California State University, Los Angeles, from which she
earned an important teaching award last fall, becoming one of the University's
Outstanding Professors. In 2000, she has won the Teacher of the Year Award from
the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese, the largest
professional organization of Spanish educators in this country, with a
membership of around 15,000.
