Learn Romanian!

When you learn Romanian, you learn the language most similar to the Latin spoken in the Roman Empire. Not only is Romanian spoken in Romania, but also in neighboring Moldova, parts of Serbia and in pockets throughout Europe and North America.

Because it is a Romance language, an Indo-European language descended from Latin, it has many similarities to Italian, French and other Romance languages. But, Romanian is very Latin. It has retained Latin characteristics longer than any other Romance language. There is also some Slavic influence from its neighboring languages, and also from Greek, Hungarian and Turkish, making Romanian somewhat exotic. Unlike its cousin Romance languages, there are very few resources to learn Romanian.
