Question

Is romanian 'drace' said as 'c' or 'k'?

Answer 1

the "ce" is pronounced like che in "chess" or like cze in "czech"

It is the same in Italian. Also "ci" has a special pronunication.

Otherwise, before any other vowel or consonant, "c" is pronounced like k.

We Romanians practice the constructions ce,ci,gi,ge,ghe in first grade class.

You can also hear drace at the time 1:42 and 1:46 in this story:
