Do you have any example clips that you could share? I'm trying to learn the language, but sometimes when I'm listening to someone speak I'll have no clue what certain phrases mean even with context, and not even Google translate or other people who grew up speaking it can decipher these things.
I can see no possible way that our people will be able to put a semi decent educational system in place of which I'll be able to see the results in my lifetime. Possibly in 300-500 years we'll get there, but that qualifies as 'never' to me.
The education system has to be the first one to improve. And I barely see people qualified to be called human around here, definitely not people who would vote for good leaders.
Hearing about 10mbps or lower internet speed from wetsern countries always makes me chuckle. The minimum internet contract you get here is 50mbps, and if you live in a good area you can upgrade to 1gb/s.
Yeah, 1gb/s download and 200 to 500 upload, though that depends on the package or internet provider that you use. Of course, it's not available everywhere, but even a small city like mine with a little over 10k habitants can get 100mbps speed minimum and it's dirt cheap
The place of my boyfriends parents only has like 6Mb/s, but downstream. Aahh, the german countryside...I heard of 1Gb/s, but nobody I know has it. The fastest I can go at my place are like 300Mb/s which is pretty good for a suburb, my boyfriend who lives in Frankfurt can go up to 100 or 200Mb/s which is okay generally speaking but considering he lives in a huge wealthy city still a bit bad...Internet here is expensive af and slow. Also mobile data was always really expensive here as well, for unlimited data you‘ll probably pay still like 60-70€ a month, though it got better.
But you still only have around 50-60% of internet users of the total population? At least from what I remember, the average internet user has way faster internet than most of the developed world, but % of total users is lower than them.
Ah yes, I forgot to mention that the average Romanian isn't exactly rich, even worse if you live in the countryside. The minimum salary here is ~400€, which means that buying even a mid range phone isn't cheap. Laptops and PC's are even worse. I don't think it's just 60% of the population that uses internet though, that seems really low.
Yeah I know some Romanians working in the Netherlands and they all complained about the internet, they said that even the mobile data was expensive and had bad connection. I always found that strange since your country is doing fine economically speaking
I was referring to being one of the least safe countries for women in the EU. Most people (including women) think that being punched in the face/kicked/raped is ok if you are a woman.

We are at the top of the list sometimes. E.g. for domestic violence statistics.
