Learn Romanian Phrases Today!
Why are learning Romanian phrases important? When you arrive in Romania, it is worth making sure you have at least a basic understanding of Romanian phrases, or you have invested in an excellent phrase book. 
The weird thing about the Romanians is their complete lack of ability to work out what you are trying to say if your words are slightly mispronounced. Before I came to Romania, I decided that I would master their language using language tapes - I walked up and down the street every morning, to and from work, reciting the latest Romanian phrases and Romanian words. When I got to Romania, no-one understood what I wanted. For a a few weeks this was fun as I waved my arms about and gesticulated wildly. I remember I accidentally bought an entire store of walnuts as the woman did not understand what I wanted! After this, I started to build up a huge collection of teach yourself Romanian tapes... and CDs... and books... each promising me that learning Romanian was a simple task... Still no success - then I turned to a private tutor, who started off teaching me well, but quickly went into complaining about what a terrible family I was marrying into, and how lucky she was that I was her escape... as I love my Romanian family dearly, I decided she was not getting any more of my cash and switched again... By now I was engaged and so thought I would get away with learning Romanian from my wife and family... but no luck here as my in-laws to be and afterwards did not like to correct me, and my wife had no patience with explaining what different words mean and would just repeat a word again and again and I thought I had it - but no.... As the years slid by, and everyone complained and I defended myself in Romanian that I did not speak Romanian, thought I was by now reading Romanian books, magazined and listening to the radio in Romanian, I decided that it was time to take action! I turned to the company at the top of this page - Transparent language -  This was a great start. I then moved onto looking at their other products. I bought the deluxe version, but these are also worth looking at.  "Learning to speak Romanian has never been easier, quicker or more fun. Anyone – even complete beginners - can start speaking Romanian almost immediately with this unique learning system. -Romanian Languages of the World teaches you to the language, in context, using an extensive variety of interactive learning activities. "  "For beginners to advanced learners, Romanian Before You Know It is the simple and effective way to master Romanian with Perfect Recall, guaranteed! Whether for business, travel, school or personal enjoyment, you'll quickly learn to understand and speak 1,000 common Romanian words and 250 essential phrases." The second product has the huge advantage that I could download it to my hand-held computer, and so listen and learn Romanian phrases on the metro... I must have looked like the nutter everyone seems to want to avoid, as I sat repeating - blue - blue - red - yellow as I repeated my Romanian colours. The nice thing about this product of course is that it is full of games, which also help you learn more Romanian. If you remember that learning Romanian is fun - then you will slowly pick it up... and Romanians will love you for trying to speak their language.
