It does give you the upper hand.
I tried to learn it, albeit not very hard. I just wanted to learn a few basic greetings and words. Nothing sunk in. I found Romanian a little easier, but even that was difficult. I don't think my mind is wired to grasp another language. Even when I was living with my ex husband who was Romanian and spoke it quite frequently with his friends, I still couldn't get it. Some phrases and words, but no way could I carry on a conversation. Maybe if I was to live there and was forced to learn because I was living with people who didn't speak a word of English I might be able to learn, but that won't be happening.
