English speakers in Romania

I just launched this blog and already there were many people that asked me why am I posting in English.

The answer is simple. I believe that "Generation .ro", the generation of young talented Romanians is a group of people with international mindset and fluent in English and other international languages.

I think that this is essential for Romania's future. This is one of our greatest assets in the competitive global market.
And NO, by this I don't mean that they should emigrate to other countries and have a better future. By this I mean that Romania can become the new Singapore of Central and Eastern Europe. Romania can become the regional hub where most of the multinational companies could base their HQ for CEE.

Romanians have really good foreign languages skills. The research done by the "Owners Association of the Software and Service Industry" denotes that English is spoken by 5 million Romanians, French is spoken by 4-5 million, and German, Italian and Spanish are each spoken by 1-2 million people.

Romania will become the economic centre of the of the Central and Eastern Europe. We are one the right way. It is up to us to make it happen.
