This is a such a hard letter, I have so many words in my mind: Life cycle project management, Love, Listen ...
I decided to write about Languages, since they are a very important part of my life. I was born in Timisoara, a city in Romania located in Banat, a truly multicultual and multilingual region. It is absolutely normal that people are fluent in at least 2 languages, for example in Romania, Hungarian, German, Serbian et caetera (I hope Queen of English will approve).
I was fortunate enough to be born in a truly multicultural family and had the chance of learning as a child not only Romanian but also German, a bit of Hungarian and a bit of Serbian (with time the latter a long time forgotten). Then my mom decided that with 5 I should start learning English, it was a game, it was for fun. I knew how to speak it before I even wrote in Romanian. I got private lessons until I was 18 years old and I am so grateful to her.
Then in school we got French as a foreign language which was quite an asset for the future when studying engineering in Lyon. In France I had an Italian room mate and her language was so easy to learn, thus another on my list. Spanish came as a logical consequence so now I am happy to be able to understand, make me understood, read and write in 6 different languages.
To be honest I am considering Russian at the moment, I kind of need it for my work, plus belonging to the slavic family languages it would be something completely new.
Yes, forgot to tell you (for those who don't already know it), Romanian is a latin language, thus Italian, French and Spanish are its relatives!
Some nice relations:
HOME
Casa - Romanian
Casa - Italian
Casa - Spanish
Maison - French (well close LOL)
DOG
Caine - Romanian
Cane - Italian
Perro - Spanish
Chien - French
FAMILY
Familie - Romanian
Famiglia - Italian
Familia - Spanish
La Familie - French
You got the picture :)
