• is a Romantic language 
• around 24 million people speak Romanian, as well as 4 million speak it as a 2nd language (this will be me! )
• Romanian is spoken in Israel....Interesting, huh?  About 5% of the population speaks Romanian. 
• Many Middle Easterner study in Romania, so Romanian becomes a second language for them.
