My mother is part Romanian. She never learned these important phrases. (Not much call for them in Hampstead.) If you can do these translations, go ahead. If not, it might prove easier to marry a Romanian (not one from Hampstead obviously) or invest in a country with an easier language.
Just a thought.

Michele, I tend to agree with you, but this is how the country is and probably will stay this way for years from now on.
Nevertheless if you look at the investment potential, you have to admit it is very high. I am not recommending you to buy in order to relocate! I am recommending you to buy for relatively small prices now, rent what you bought for a few years and then resell for a higher price!
Not rarely people come here to invest neglecting important aspects such as fiscal issues consultancy or law consultancy, they make bad deals and then they tend to blame the country for their mistake. To be honest I would not bother to invest anywhere without having those fields covered. But to some, cutting costs is so much more important!
As for the language, if only Spanish would be easier! Have you tried learning Spanish, Michele (btw, you have a nice French name, have you tried to learn French? you found it easy to learn, dear?) Or probably you advise us to invest only in the areas where English speaking parts of the globe!
