Waiting for Romanian Lessons

It's coming very soon! Get prepared!

The Romanian lessons are almost, almost ready. The translation is done by a very good friend of mine and his sister and soon, very soon it will be loaded to the database. As soon as it is done I will post here about it.

Romanian language is one the most interesting blend of Latin and Slavik language families that I have met so far in my life. Having most of the derivatives from Latin it has so many Slavik-based words it makes me very curious. Talking with my Romanian friends about our languages and common things in them is very enjoyful process.

So - a couple of days and the Romanian lessons will be loaded into the site in all their beauty.

I heard that Moldovan language is the same as Romanian. So you can add two Romanian and Moldovan language lessons instead of single one. You just need to change a language lesson tittle. No, wait! Actually you can add three free language lessons instead of one Romanian language lesson. The people of Transnisrtia or Transnistrian Moldavian Republic also speaks Romanian language, but their language written not in the Latin alphabet, but in Cyrillic alphabet. It will a take a skosh more work. You need to convert somehow free Romanian language lesson to Cyrillic and add title free online Transnistrian language lesson. Thus spoke Zarathustra!

You are right about similarities of these languages but I am very hesitant to do this conversion automatically. It will be much more hassle to try to convert Latinic to Cyrillic (and keep the translation correct) than to find a person who knows Moldavian and Transnistrian and do the translation.

You see human translation is always more accurate than machine translation.
