Hi Fennel! Romanians use Latin alphabet. Romania isn't a Slavic country but a Latin one like France, Spain, Portugal and Italy. In the past, this country was called Dacia. The language is similar to Spanish or Italian. When you want to tell her where to clean use the Romanian word a curatza= to clean. Usually, the letters are pronounced as they are written, . So you can tell her clean here = Curatza aici ( clean=curatza here=aici). The Romanian word for vacuum cleaner is "aspirator", cloth for cleaning, napkin= carpa, laundry detergent= detergent de rufe( laundry= de rufe), dishes=vase with s like in English alphabet, soap= sapun, broom= matura. Use the vaccum cleaner= Foloseste aspiratorul ( use= foloseshte), sh=s in Romanian. Empty the bins= Goleshte coshurile. Clean the dust= Shterge praful (clean= shterge, the dust=praful). Romanians are nice people like the Brits , but bad people are in every country. Most problems appear when gypsies from Romania go to other countries to steal and beg for money, because they don't like to work. There are a few gypsies who work honestly as musicians and other crafts. Gypsies from Romania are an ethnic group brought here by the Ottoman Empire and they have other habits than the rest of the world. As Grapefruitpip said google translate is very useful. I hope that these Romanian words will be helpful for you!
