02/15/2007 | This is a Romance language with a lot of Slavic influences. It's pretty similar to Italian but much more difficult to learn. It's primarily spoken in Romania and Moldova (Moldovan's basically the same language), so its usefulness is pretty limited. However, it sounds pretty cool. It's like a mixture between Italian and Russian. Nevertheless, it'd be pretty amazing if one found a program in the U.S. that taught Romanian. You'd probably have to go to Romania or Moldova to do that.

10/15/2003 | I learned this while in Moldova for the Peace Corps and realized how much learning Latin and French beforehand helped me. Romanian is a Romance language and more closely related to Latin than even Italian. Like Latin and unlike French, however, the nouns are declined (meaning put into ablative, dative, accusative etc. forms) which makes it a bit trickier. It's a very nice sounding language kind of sounding like a cross between Russian and Italian. I loved speaking and listening to it.
