I was so bad at languages I was not allowed to take an exam, however things are different when you actually live in a country. I worked in Russia for a while in a town called Vyksa, my German co workers told their children they were in Moscow because Vyksa as pronounced in Russian in an obscene word in German .

to be honest, I never travelled outside Iran.
One, I didn't have passport.
Two, I don't have enough money.
But I saw many foreigners in Iran and asked them many things.
Learning Russian and Hungarian, was a great point for me.
I am only person who talk Hungarian in Army.
For some reasons, we have lots of Hungarian guests.
But about Romanian, I really loved this language when I was a child.

چو بخت عرب بر عجم چیره شد / همی بخت ساسانیان تیره شد
بر آمد ز شاهان جهان رو قفیز/ نهان شد زر و گشت پیدا پشیز
دگرگونه شد چرخ گردون بچهر/ ز آزادگان پاک ببرید مهر
به ایرانیان زار و گریان شدم/ز ساسانیان نیز بریان شدم
دریغ آن سر و تاج و آن مهر وداد /که خواهد شدن تخت شاهی بباد
کز این پس شکست آید از تازیان/ ستاره نگردد مگر بر زیان
چو با تخت منبر برابر شود/همه نام بوبکر و عمر شود
تبه گردد این رنج های دراز/نشیبی دراز است پیشش فراز
نه تخت و نه دیهیم بینی نه شهر/ ز اختر همه تازیان راست بهر
ز پیمان بگردند و ز راستی/گرامی شود گژی و کاستی
رباید همی این از آن آن از این/ز نفرین ندانند باز آفرین
نهانی بتر ز آشکارا شود /دل مردمان سنگ خارا شود
شود بنده ی بی هنر شهریار /نژاد و بزرگی نیاید بکار
به گیتی نماند کسی را وفا / روان و زبان ها شود پر جفا
از ایران و از ترک و از تازیان / نژادی پدید آید اند میان
نه دهقان همه ترک و تازی بود / سخن ها بکردار بازی بود
نه جشن و نه رامش نه کوهر نه نام /بکوشش زهر گونه سازند دام
بریزند خون از پی خواسته /شود روز گار بد آراسته
زیان کسان از پی سود خویش / بجویند و دین اندر آرند پیش
ز پیشی و بیشی ندارند هوش/خورش نان کشکین و پشمینه پوش
چو بسیار از این داستان بگذرد /کسی سوی آزادگان ننگرد
بر آمد ز شاهان جهان رو قفیز/ نهان شد زر و گشت پیدا پشیز
دگرگونه شد چرخ گردون بچهر/ ز آزادگان پاک ببرید مهر
به ایرانیان زار و گریان شدم/ز ساسانیان نیز بریان شدم

The real problem is "Translation"That's ideed "funny farsi"
there is no Translations for most of Persian "phrases" like that.
for example, "Khasteh Nabashid" literally means "Don't be Tired" ... but in English, it is translated as "Good Job" or "Well Done".
another funny "Phrase" is "Tank you Very Nafarbar" as you can see, it's a mix of both Persian and English, Tank as "Thank" and Nafarbar is Persian for APC.
as you can guess, it's popular among Soldiers.

I'm telling you now:
One year is 365 days. . .
Say So . . .
It has 52 Fridays, 313 days left. . .
Say So . . .
We have 50 days of summer holidays, it lasts 263 days. . .
Say So . . .
We sleep 8 hours every day. . .
It will be 122 days and would remain 141 days. . .
Say So . . .
Take an hour for ourselves every day. .
It will be 15 days and it will remain 126 days. . !!
It's been eaten for 2 hours and the feed lasts 30 days and it lasts 96 days
Average daily 4 hours of sightseeing with friends
Empty clocks between classes and commute to school and home
It will be 60 days and it will remain 36 days. . !!
Say So .
31 official anniversary holiday is 5 days
Well, darling, we're the one who gets sick four days old. .
I'll be a day.
What a chance she was one day my birthday. . !!
Finished and went!
I hope everyone is convinced
