"Learn the original vampire language"

Goths meet rappers in Romanian 379.

East European hip hop + Dracula's language = Romanian REE 379 in Fall 2003

Reasons for taking Romanian: Learn the original vampire language The only Romance language in the former Communist Bloc Learn language through Romanian hip-hop/rap Visit the most beautiful churches and castles in Europe on a small budget Taught by way experienced native Romanian instructor, Emil Nicolescu, MA, and 2003 Slavic and East European Poetry Slam prize-winning rap artist

This is from a flyer spotted in Batts Hall the first week of classes. I guess there aren't enough Romance language nerds and cross-training Slavists to fill up the section. An A to Nicolescu for effort and I hope he met his quota. (I also hope someone else designs the covers of his CDs.)
