LOL Amber! I only speak a little bit of Romanian - enough to get by in restaurants & bars, a few niceties of conversation, that sort of thing. The vocabulary is pretty easy, it's a Latin based language (in fact it's the closest modern language to Latin) so if you know a bit of Italian, Spanish or Portuguese you could probably pick it up really easy. Some of the vocabulary draws from Magyar, Slavonic and Turkish influences. The grammar is a real stinker unless you're *good* at Latin, in which case it makes perfect sense because it is essentially the same. Unlike in English, pronunciation of groups of characters is consistent so there aren't any bizarre inconsistencies to grapple with.

Mostly bad Brit accents in games will just make me cringe, but as I mentioned before the William Wallace campaign in AOEII got switched off before the introductory monologue was over - it was sheer hell listening to it. If there is a really bad accent in a movie it might make me stop watching. One of the worst things ever was those Loony Tunes cartoons (I think it was those ones?) which sometimes had supposedly English people using phrases like 'cor blimey guv'nor' but spoken in a posh English accent [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] NO NO NO!!!! WRONG!
