LOL, the only fun thing about this series is that a lots of doujinshi now have Italian titles x'D It's amusing to look at

That's coz it's a terrible story about the Mafia. Even though all the mains except like... two are Japanese. Or have Japanese names despite being Italian.

[tomoe_daeva]

I know! I read a bit of it before dropping it ;3;
I liked Yamamoto/Gokudera ;3;

Yep, it's amusing XD
'Cause Italian is such an upopular language, it amuses me to no end XD

[ceasefire]

I like YamaGoku okay, but DinoHiba is my forever OTP.

Lol, I never really thought of it that way XD It gets taught at a lot of the schools here... though it could be because all the schools I went to were Catholic schools...

[tomoe_daeva]

I stopped reading before Hibari's appearance ;3; But I really liked Dino already <3<3

Well, I can't see what utility can Italian have! I can see Spanish's, even Chinese's, but Italian-- It's not even used for cooking, and that's probably the best thing that we can do XD So I'm always amused when I see people using it ;3; (also if kinda awkwardly XD)

[ceasefire]

... whut XD Hibari appeared in Ch. 16 and Dino appeared in Ch. 27.

Well, there's a decent amount of Italian migrants here? But there's a decent amount of a lot of nationalities here, orz.

[tomoe_daeva]

Then I didn't pay attention to him XD
Or maybe he just appeared in a pair of panels or such XD ?

I see XD Well, there are lots of migrants here too (POOR PEOPLE, LOL), but we don't teach Romanian or Chinese in our schools ;3;
Anyway, it's very cool XD

[ceasefire]

Nope, he was a pretty big character. Or he was to me, lol.

According to our census, 1/5 of us were born overseas and 50% of us had one or both parents born overseas. A lot of schools here teach Chinese, Indonesian and Japanese more than European languages though.

[tomoe_daeva]

I can see that :D
Also if it doesn't make much sense-- Since they're living in your country now, aren't they supposed to learn your language to make their life there easier and to contribute to the community..?

[ceasefire]

Sure, most of them do. But what's wrong with learning their languages in return? Especially Asian languages. Coz of where Australia is, there's always a high demand for interpreters and translators that can speak or write both English and Chinese/Korean/Japanese etc.

[tomoe_daeva]

In return of what XD ?
But sure, Oriental languages sure are useful since the economic boom in Asia, expecially China...

[ceasefire]

/shrug
I just think it's nice to broaden your horizons. Other cultures and languages help you do that. They contribute to our economy because if they didn't they'd probably be out on their asses, so it's not like we can complain about them simply being here. Australia's always been a big mash-up of different heritages.

[tomoe_daeva]

Well, if I'm Italian, I go to Australia and I start to learn Italian there how is it supposed to broaden my horizons XD ..?

But that's just me, if it worked just fine 'til now I don't see any good reason to keep bothering you about it XD
As an European, we tend to be more self-centered and biased towards foreigners-- It's just that we had so many wars against each others, it's difficult to make us in a bunch of happy people ^_^;

[ceasefire]

... I really have no idea what point you're trying to make by saying that? You could say the same about every single other language. We teach a heap of languages here. >>; But if you spoke one language fluently and you wanted to learn another, logically you wouldn't chose the one you already know. Most high schools gives you a choice of two or three languages and in universities and adult education you just choose any one you want. The only difference is primary school.

[tomoe_daeva]

THAT WAS WHAT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME.
I THOUGHT THAT YOU TAUGHT THOSE FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO THE FOREIGN PEOPLE THEMSELVES.

[ceasefire]

No, we learn their languages. They mainly learn English (like their kids get help with English in school etc.)

IDK how you got the idea that we taught foreigners their own language? But I'm sorry if it came across like that.

[tomoe_daeva]

I misinterpreted that "But what's wrong with learning their languages in return?" x'D I interprete it as "They come to our country contributing with work, so in return we won't let them lose their roots :D" which sounded kinda awesome but pretty useless at the practice, so I couldn't understand what was the point of it XD

Sorry ^_^;;;;;
