Not been there myself but know several people who have (lived there helping orphans etc and not just for hols).

Gather English speakers are scorned even if they try and speak the lingo - locals aren't friendly regarding this and will ignore if tense and pronunciation and gender aren't absolutely correct - worse than the pprune spellcheckers. Bit like France used to be 30+ years ago, thankfully now the French like most of Europe welcome our feeble attempts at speaking their lingo and acknowledge we are doing our best. Romania by all accounts this is not true.

PS
I can think of far better places to live... even Luton.
How about Aberdeen!

And for Dannutz - what is the local beer like? Bet it's not real ale but more lagerish?
