From 1828 he taught philosophy at the grammar school in Blaj, from 1830 he was a professor of dogmatics at the seminary in Blaj.
In 1836 he traveled to Bucharest with George Barițiu . He became one of the most important leaders of the Romanians from Transylvania in their national emancipation struggle from 1848 to 1851.
From the 1850s he was one of the most important researchers in the field of the Romanian language . He was one of the leaders in the effort to replace words of Slavic origin in the Romanian language with those of Latin origin, but avoided the extreme of many contemporaries of completely "purifying" the language.
