If You are Multilingual

If you are multilingual, you speak many languages.


If you are bi-lingual, you speak two languages.


If you speak one language, you are an American.


If you are an American its a not so funny statement about American culture.  If you live almost anywhere else in the world, especially Europe most everyone speaks two or more languages fluently.  There are two primary languages spoken in Moldova, Moldovan (a slight permutation of Romanian), and Russian.  I now speak "little boy" Russian, which is to say I could survive just fine if I were dumped into a Russian only speaking area.  Russian is a VERY difficult language to learn.  I would advise anyone who is considering Moldova to instead learn Moldovan which uses our alphabet and is probably not much more difficult to learn than Spanish.  I am hard headed and determined to learn Russian, have mastered the alphabet and am working on the six cases and vocabulary.  


My wife Irina speaks Moldovan, Russian, German, and English.  


You should not consider language a barrier to living in Moldova, many here speak English and it is becoming more widespread.  We can help you with tutoring and guidance in language and translation issues.
