Re: [Cz-L] Hello Baby Mademoiselle.

Yes, we learned at school.
 Sufficient for understanding songs like this.
  Insufficient for fluent talk or literature.
   Knowing French in pre-war Rumania was a status.
  All nobility and affluent people spoke French.
       They did not adopt the German language of Rumanian
    Royalty.
     French was the language of culture adopted by all the
     East of Europe . Until today many Rumanian speak French ,
     which miraculously outlived Ceaucescu.
