Hello everyone, I’m from Italy and I really enjoy talking with people from other countries :) what about you?
I’m currently study Chinese so I’m planning to start translating mangas as soon as possible to learn some more and help you have more updates! But I’ve just got an elementary child level so you’ll have to wait a bit hahah

    I'm from America. Learned some French in high school, got to slightly above elementary level, then forgot everything after having a bad teacher. My French comprehension is practically nonexistent now ( ̄∇ ̄... Jaz

    I studied it for 8 years but I’ve actually forgot everything hahaha so I can understand the feeling! I just can read it but if people talk to me or expect me to speak French... well, I just run away

    I studied a little latin when I was in grade school. The thing I noticed about Italian & Spanish (I extended here because both of them are of latin origin) is that they're both not gender neutral. They have names and things that have gender characteristics which I don't often encounter in Nihonggo & Mandarin. Our language have that too maybe because we've been a Spanish colony. Culture assimilation is interesting.

    Yeah’ languages with gender are more difficult since there are lots of things people have to think about while talking! Italian is sooo hard, if it was a little bit more useful in the world I would be happy to have it as my native language.
    Actually Chinese is not that diffucult (of course I’m just talking about its grammar, all the rest takes life away from me every single time I study it hahaha) since verbs do not have Inflection as Spanish, Italian, etc

    I noticed the grammar in Japanese is also not that difficult. The problems are the characters and the pronunciation as with Mandarin. Why do you think Italian as a language isn't useful?

    My dad's from Shanghai and my mom's from Hualien, Taiwan! Haha not at all, I think learning Chinese first helped a lot with learning Japanese in terms of reading and writing! Although sometimes I get them mixed up because I learned simplified Chinese, and a lot of the kanji that Japanese uses is derived from traditional Chinese lol

    I can help. I'm not good with pronounciation but I can help with writing kanjis. I want to learn French from a native speaker, words are lot harder to say in French.

    Yeah but for me, for example, is very difficult because its sentences are created in a completely different way. For example my language has relative clauses after the element they’re referring to (ex. the boy -that is running- is doing something), while Japanese has them in another order (runnig is that boy the and so on). Maybe the sentence is not right because I had to do that just in Italian till now hahaa but it was just to explain
    Sorry I talk too much ( ̄▽ ̄")
    Because Italian is known only here, and the country is slowly ruining so I actually want to go away

    Ah, the proverbial talk about a ruining country. I could also say the say for mine. Btw, I'm just curious are there any language in Italy other than Italian? Because we have a lot in our country like Tagalaog, Ilocano, Bisaya, Chavacano etc. depends on the region you're in.

    No, we actually just have dialects. I'm from Rome and almost anyone talks a strict dialect, it's just a difference in the sound of some consonants (sometimes we pronounce a ch sound as sh but here even if you do that everyone is going to understand you). While in places like Sardinia and Naples it is impossible to understand them when they speak dialect. In fact sometimes in language studies there are some of them that are recognized as different languages, but everyone speaks Italian, just in family or with close friends that come from your city you use dialect.
    I know about Tagalog because my university teacher always names it hahah what's the name of yours? :)

    I speak Tagalog, Bisaya, Ilocano (not fluent), and Ilonggo (not fluent). I grew up in a community speaking those language. The thing about my country since it's an archipelago each major island have dominant language. For instance, majority of Luzon speaks tagalog but a portion is speaking Pangasinense, Ilocano etc.,, Visayas has Bisaya, and Mindanao has muslim and regional bisaya. The political thing is that, children were all taught to speak Tagalog since childhood eventho we don't live in luzon. Tagalog was the national language eventhough it's not widely spoken in other islands. Oh, sorry for talking too much. How come your teacher knows it? Has she/he been in the Philippines?
