What’s the benefit of teaching Italian? Teach a useful language like English.

Why? Such a useless language. Arabic, English, and even Mandarin, is much more beneficial than, as someone else said, this second-rate language.

This F*cking President, man.

Former colonial overlord...lurking in the shadow hoping to get a shot at a new UN trusteeship, making sure when that day comes, the subjects understand them.
North Somalia was never an Italian colony. This hypothetical means Somalia will be split into 2 which is not viable, midnimada somalia waa muqadis

I don’t have a problem with Somalis learning Italian as long as it’s not compulsory and our society does not become dependent on it.

Italian is a gateway language and one of the most academic.

It was the second most spoken language in Australia until recently.

Nearly every public school in Aus offers Italian as a subject.

I feel like somalis dont like to learn anything:bell: since when is it bad to learn new languages? It makes you look smarter if you speak multiple languages. Personally i think they should have never stopped learning students how to speak italian or english in somali schools during the kacaan era

Very good news, we have shown we are baboons incarnate. Lets go back to being a trusteeship.

You make a lot of sense. We are barbarians. We look down on those who learn other languages and cultures as if we’re peak humanity.

I think there’s another benefit to having optional Italian learning in Somalia.

As there aren’t many Italian speaking communities, the Italian government are more likely to allocate scholarships for Somali students to study at Italian universities.

The Somali government would probably benefit from free training for military or civil servants in Italy.

I highly doubt if Somalia would be getting this deal from the UK or Spain if we started offering English or Spanish instead of Italian.

But don’t get me wrong, there are also many flaws with this.
