They don't use the Cyrillic alphabet. If you know your Latin, it is very similar to that. We once stood in front of a restaurant in Israel, trying to figure out why the menu was in Latin, until it dawned on us that it must be Romanian.

As a rule of thumb if you think something might be racist then it probably is.

An unusual question, hoping someone can help.
Husband has decided we need cleaning help. There are many young Romanian women round here who are good at the job and one is starting with us tomorrow.
The problem is she hardly speaks any english. So I'm thinking of making a vocabulary notebook with common words but don't know what alphabet they use - it's either from cyrillic, like Russian, or from latin.
Has anyone been involved in helping Romanians with the english language? Or any ideas?
I know the rumours about Romanians btw and will be careful. (Hope that's not racist.)
