Now, with the Italians, all immigrants are from below. They come across one so contrary. And now, through the articles they see that the double-speakers have a much greater reward. Now they go to learn German. So the whole thing. Otherwise, before it was called, we must always speak Italian and you need never speak German. " And by Both languages they must. Do you see the benefits - and after many Italians speak German well. That you almost do not know. The're here in the government. State government and state representatives. And everywhere are among Italians, and some you know nothing. Some do already have a bit Italianize while talking. Interesting. But - inside look into it can not.

Where you do not know that there are even Italians. And they say today, we may have to play with here and be together, and so we became colleagues. Today we are glad we can speak German. And it happens quite those fascists - there are fascists - that he was not German .. right, the fascist, they say today. Fascists, they're also have been the father. But there are three or four boys in a family - there are such things not? The mother and father know nothing and the children speak perfect German ..
