4 If you tell yourself that Romanian is simplified Italian, or simplified English, you will remind yourself how to recognize and remember words as well as giving yourself a pep talk.
Romanian - English
honest - cumsecade (Cum is like the Latin for with. S e c a d e sounds like security.)
iuti - hot Start by remembering the letter t in both words. Both words are all vowel open mouth sounds. Imagine you have burned the tip of your tongue with hot tea, gasp and spit it out. IUTI!
moi - soft (like moist)
tari - hard both words have the letter AR in the middle. T and D sound similar. I and hi and both open mouth sounds. Reverse the t -i and h-d and fix them onto the middle letters and it will remind you.
