Alphabet

In lieu of a real Romanian teacher, I'll just use this area to store my study notes.
If I do find someone to teach, then I'll move my topics to a storage area so it's less confusing.
As I have no Romanian ability, these will just be things I've learnt from places like Wikipedia or YouTube.
