I think most people that emigrate are less educated than the average romanian here. Whenever I travel abroad and meet romanians they are usually uneducated and stupid and that just contributes to the bad reputation we have and for the most part deserve. that's why none of the romanians you met in scotland speak english. But here you can find people fluent in english, especially students. But that's somewhat normal as before they taught russian as a foreign language in schools. And in some villages they are still teaching it. I have a few students in my class that until high school they were taught russian in their village school and when they came to the city they didn't have a clue about english/french etc. That's mainly because of the lack of teachers in villages. everyone's moving to the city.
I was saying most romanian emigrants are uneducated and there are a lot of them here. It seems to have become a trend. Usually goes with darker skin, but everyone is now complacent in their own misery and stupidity and don't even want to go any higher, they want to stay that way because it's cool. I'm actually part of that generation and I have to say that 80% or more of the current romanian teenagers are idiots and that's a fact. It's strange to see so many people like you who actually want to learn something about our language/customs/whatever.
