My best friend in school was Romanian. They had immigrated to the US a few years before I met him so the rest of his family much preferred to speak in Romanian a majority of the time, so after many sleepovers and dinners with them I asked them to teach me out of courtesy so I could join in on the conversation at the dinner table.
I actually was going to ask "Vorbiti romaneste?" when you were over picking up the seats, but it had been awhile since I had heard a Romanian accent and didn't want to embarrass myself if I ended up being wrong.
Hopefully you don't leave before the next meet that you can attend here locally so you can bounce some words off me. I've forgotten a lot but day to day stuff I still remember as well as some dirty phrases.
