Though it is not exactly the easiest language to teach due to its complex grammar structures and rich vocabulary, one may enjoy the challenge.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #808080\">Although the <strong>Romanian language<\/strong> could hardly be seen as a tricky language however, any trained speaker cannot possibly ignore the range of traps it can set both in terms of expression and orthography.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span style=\"color: #808080\"><span style=\"background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #ffffff\">In terms of grammar use for instance, any elementary Romanian learner can think twice before writing the auxiliary form <\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900\">[va]<\/span> <span style=\"color: #808080\">as there can always be two situations. If talking about a future activity, we will always deal with the non-hyphenated form<\/span> \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">va<\/span>\u201d <span style=\"color: #808080\">like in<\/span> \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">va fi<\/span>\u201d <span style=\"color: #808080\">(it will be). On the other hand, if we consider a past activity, there we will have the hyphenated form<\/span> \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">v-a<\/span>\u201d <span style=\"color: #808080\">like in<\/span> \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">v-a dat<\/span>\u201d <span style=\"color: #808080\">(he\/she gave you) to give but an example.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #808080\">Speaking of the Romanian vocabulary on the other hand, we can say that special attention should be given to words similar to another in sound, to the paronyms, that is. We all can imagine the funny to grotesque moments that they can bring about. Just think of the young woman who was one day looking for \u201c<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">ATLAZ<\/span>\u201d <span style=\"color: #808080\">(satin) to the dressmaker just to be sent by the latter to a library. Little did the hairdresser know that there was no way her customer could find in a library \u201cATLAZ\u201d, but<\/span> \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">ATLAS<\/span>\u201d <span style=\"color: #808080\">(<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #808080\"><span style=\"background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #ffffff\">a book or bound collection of maps). And the list of examples can go on.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080\"><span style=\"background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #ffffff\"> <span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">Therefore rest assured that your struggle to become a proficient Romanian speaker will also take you on a journey of fascinating discoveries. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman,serif;color: #808080\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\"><span lang=\"en-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"ro-RO\" style=\"margin-left: 0.06in;text-indent: -0in;margin-bottom: 0.14in\">Come to the <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.limbistraine.eu\/romanian-for-foreigners.php\">Romanian Course<\/a> organized by <strong>Crystal Mind<\/strong> and you will discover a whole new world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traps of the Romanian Language The Romanian language is a Romance language that is currently spoken by around 30 million people around the world, most of which are located in Romania.
