|
|
I was asked about my trips around Romania and the language there. I 've decided to open a new post, which may be of reference to more people.
I did 3 trips around Romania and 1 trip to 3 other Eastern European country, now i can say i have seen different regions of Romania.
1. Sibiu>Cluj>Sighisoara>Brasov, Sinaia(Transylvania)>Sibiu (1 week over X'mas)
2. Sibiu>Timisoara>(HUNGARY)Szeged>Pecs>Balaton Lake>Gyor>(SLOVAK REP)Bratislava>(CZECH REP)Brno>Prague>(HUNGARY)Budapest>Targu Mures>Sibiu (1 month over winter vacation)
3. Sibiu>Cluj>(Maramures)Baia Mare>Sighetu Marmatiei>Borsa>Prislop Pass> (Bocuvina)Vatra Dotnei>Gura Humorlui>(Moldavia)Piatra Neamt>Bicaz>Lac Rosu>Gheorgheni>Targu Mures>Sibiu (2 weeks over Easter)
4. Sibiu>Bucuresti>(Black Sea Coast)Constanta>(Danube Delta)Tulcea>Bucuresti>Sibiu (4 days in late May)
I highly recommend the 2nd (especially Brno!) and the 3rd itinery (Easter spent at a local peasant family in Maramures was really wonderful!). I had met so many wonderful friendly people in Eastern Europe.
Regarding the Romanian language, it's a beautiful one and also similar to Spanish, Italian. As I have experiences learning Spanish and Italian before, Romanian was quite easy for me. After a couple of weeks, I could read 60-80% of a text (depending of the technicality). The grammar may be a headache but it's easier if you learn a language in that environment and if you don't mind making mistakes.

i may not go back to Romania for work at least in the near future (since we all know about the reality question) , but will surely be back for friends and holiday there.
I'll further my MA studies in Rhetoric in Amsterdam. |
