this is not a question but all i thought of when i read the question was Sebastian Stan
I am not ashamed to say that I'm learning Romanian because of Sebastian Stan ^_^ (and now I'm loving it!) Glad I'm not the only one here for this reason lol
Thank you, Seb, for making us aware of your beautiful native tongue and sharing it with the world! Romanian would probably be closer to extinction without you.
The way she pronounces it sounds like 'tro-moon-oh' is she rolling the r ?
Is "româneşte" acceptable in place of "limba romana"? I've been to Romania a few times now and have always used, and learned to say, "vorbesc puţin româneşte", an no one has corrected me. However, if "vorbesc puţin limba romana" is the correct way to say it, I'd like to know for future reference.

Yes. According to the Romanian DEX, see link above, "româneşte" = "în limba română." Other than Sonkadonka's claim from above, I have never heard anyone to claim that "vorbesc româneşte" would be wrong and I have lived and studied in Romania for more than few months and had the privilege to speak with quite a few Romanians from different parts of the country... BTW, if you check above, you will find a reference to a very educational YouTube clip regarding your question!
Not a question. Just loving how all the Sebastan Stan/ Bucky Barnes lovers came out to play. He is the only reason I am learning this fanstastic language.

This woman always seems to add a light 't' at the front of 'ramana', ie it souns like 'tromana' (with all the correct accents).
Why there's the word "language" but "Sebastian speaks Romanian language" is not acceptable?
When am I supposed to use "limba" and what does the word itself mean "language."
Nu mă las de limba noastră! Sorry for my horrific references, but now, thanks to them I love Romania and Moldova and I try to learn Romanian!
Italian speaker here. Tricky question: how would one say "Sebastian speaks Roman (dialect)"? I'm referring to the one spoken in Rome :)))

Why is that tricky? „Sebi vorbește romana”, or „Sebi vorbește dialectul roman” (dialect from Rome) and „Mona vorbește româna” or „Mona vorbește limba română” (Romanian language).
Ok, so, romana = "from Rome", româna = "Romanian".
I still have to acquaint myself with those diacritic signs :)
Thanks!

You got it! The good news are that knowing the diacritics will help you with the proper pronunciation!
This specifically says 'the romanian language'. Because you mark other similar things as mistakes, I feel there's no consistency in your evaluation.
