Five Romanian Words to Recognize While Eating Pancake with Lemon

Problem
How do I learn more words?

Answer
Just keep going. Learning languages is like the old joke about who too you eat an elephant. The answer is one bite at a time.

English
apricot - c a i s a (with accents)
lemon - l a m a i e (cap shape over the first a but hat over the second a)
orange - portocala (bowl shape above the final a)
Pancake or crepe (a French word) - clatita (rhymes with eat her)
peach - piersica (PEACh - PiErsiCA - both have the four letters PEAC, although the Romanians have the last two in a different order)

Now we have learned five words it would be handy to learn to recognize or say pancake with lemon please. So let's learn with and please.
please - t e  r o g (or v a rog - equivalent to French T u to a friend or child, v a more formal, think r o g as Request and roger, roger over an out, request to roger is dog, if you please, t e  r o g or v a  r o g  - I inserted spaces because the automatic spell checker suggests dog; g in request also visually resembles reg with a round top and a tail)

Romanian
c a i s a - apricot (with accents)
clatita - crepe or pancake
cu is with (which was in the previous post)
l a m a i e - lemon (both words have the letters L.M and an e)
piersica - peach (both words contain PEA - PEAch and PiErsicA)
portocala - orange

Fruits In Chocolate From America, found in Singapore

One of the chocolate concoctions I tried at the recent food and wine show at Expo in Singapore April 2016 (see previous post) was samples of prune in dark chocolate and cherry in dark chocolate. I eventually folded back the wrapper and discovered their website, www.fruitsincocolate.com.

The website shows three varieties of fruit, prune in dark chocolate, cherry in dark chocolate,  and cranberry. They also do apricots, wild berries and tropical fruit. I must admit that when I picked them up at the show I was very surprised. I have had nuts in chocolate, which works very well, and assortments of mixed your covered nuts and raisins.

From a nutritional point of view, adding chocolate to fruit is reducing their health image of the fruit. On the other hand, adding fruit to chocolate, is increasing the health quality of the chocolate.

My family greeted the fruitsinchocolate with enthusiasm.

I have rushed them back to the fridge. I recall how the history of Hershey's chocolate revealed that a new type of chocolate was needed when American troops went to hot countries. the long-term gain for Americans was their highly successful chocolate, which is a huge success in America and known worldwide.

In the UK I buy fruit and nut chocolate bars because eating a plain bar gives me an overdose of sugar and I like to get the protein in the nuts.

As a chocolate addict, and a health conscious person, anything which adds fruit to chocolate is good for me.

According to the FruitsinChocolate website they are based in New York which is where the manufacturing takes place. They started recently in 2013. Their fruits in chocolate are delivered in heat protection packaging.
