A developer I’m currently working with is from Romania, and so I’ve decided to learn a bit of his language because it’d be fun, and he’s a convenient informant. I picked up a previously owned Winter Verlag grammar last weekend, surfed the web for some mp3s of pronunciation this weekend, and today I think I'll try a little banal applied linguistical dialogue. M-am rătăcit. Unde este gara? The Wikipedia entry on Romanian has some great information, including a link to an online monolingual Romanian dictionary.
