Business Review partnered with Casa Paleologu who is offering a course designed for foreigners residing in Romania and for whom understanding Romanian mentality is either a professional need or a “matter of survival”. Here are 5 reasons why you should take this course.

1. Traditions and customs
Romanians have a variety of traditions and lore dating back to antiquity. Most of them are more important in rural areas, but some manifest universally, regardless of where people live.

2. Latin/slavic culture
Romania’s unique in this region for the way it evolved as a Latin country in a Slavic/Russian/Oriental sphere of cultural influences. A course in Romanian mentality will help you better understand this unique set of traits that Romanians possess and how each of them evolved.

3. Romanians appreciate the effort
Romanians unfortunately are used to dealing with a negative image of their country, so when foreigners actually take the time to get to know their culture, the good alongside the bad, they are always impressed and have a high level of appreciation. It’s a sure fire way to earn their respect and their loyalty.

4. Romanian humor
If you’re missing out on Romanian humor, than you’re truly missing out on probably the greatest part of Romanian culture. Romanians love jokes and love to have a good time. You can take part in the fun by learning the finesse of the way Romanians see the world and their place in it.

5. You get a free Business Review online subscription.
Registering for a course on the Casa Paleologu website will also grant a 6 month Online Subscription to Business Review. More information about the subscription package here.
