In 2014, Romanians and Bulgarians were given the right to come and work freely in Europe. Some politicians said that there would be a tidal wave of migrant workers coming from Romania into Britain who would steal everyone's jobs. In France as well, this is the same thing. But I have never really felt like the focus of this sort of consideration from the people I've encountered myself. And I guess people in general know better people from their respective countries because they have had other examples of people who are fully integrated here.
Here's part 2 of my conversation with "The Son of the Dragon Tamer" in which we talk about these things: - The difference “pleasshure” and “pleasure”, “bio” and “B.O.” - The importance of ‘passion’ in France - Jamie Oliver’s (fake?) cockney accent - British & American English - Corneliu’s experiences in America, his acting and his accent - Corneliu’s learning experiences with a great teacher when he was a child - The interesting course-book which Corneliu used in his English lessons - The myth of ‘the English gentleman’ - Depictions of Englishness in films - Stereotypes of Romania - Romania & Bulgaria’s entry into the EU and the media panic related to migrant workers - Vampires, Dracula and Romania Click here for more information
