Cursurile la Brasov

Just a quick update today; yesterday I left Bucharest and traveled to Brasov, which is three hours north of Bucharest by train. For the next three weeks I'll be studying Romanian language and culture at the University of Transylvania here in Brasov. Today was the first day of classes, and I am exhausted! We took a placement test this morning, and I was put in the intermediate level, just as I had hoped. In the intermediate class we will be expanding our knowledge of Romanian grammar and practicing speaking a lot. We'll also be going on field trips to some interesting sites in the area. It looks like I'll be very busy with the language program over the next few weeks, but I'll do my best to keep posting regularly!
