Unless you speak Romanian, there the "ă" sound can be stressed and failing to do so makes a difference e.g. "cântăm" (we sing) vs "cântam" (I/we sang). As a foreigner I made this mistake and even though people will understand and even appreciate that you are trying to speak their language, it's "disturbing" to hear the wrong verbal tense.
