The word you're looking for is RomanTic! Not "Romanic". You can use "Romance language" instead, if you like.

Phantom It depends on how strictly you define "self-teaching". I did GCSE Maths between February and June in year 11, having been pretty much taught nothing prior to that. As you can imagine, that timespan meant a lot of work at home- the school gave me a copy of the very thick Foundation textbook to work through at home, and then a copy of the Intermediate one after I'd finished the Foundation. But I did have an inspirational Maths teacher during the school-week and actual lessons.
