A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Take this with a grain of salt, because I had a high school education that focused on English and got a Cambridge C2 proficiency certificate.
English has relatively simple grammar and sentence structure, and while spelling is inconsistent with pronunciation, it's easier for me to intuit compared to French. I think the hardest sounds for us in English that aren't tied to an accent are "th" (both in the "the" or "three" varieties) and the "soft" R (I don't know what else to call it). "Earth" can sound pretty funny unless you practice.
I think it's not uncommon for someone in Romania who speaks English to have a pretty thick accent but otherwise get most word order or conjugation right. That said, I think most people don't speak English.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Romanian is technically a romance language, so any shared French loanwords will help too.
