Despair 14

[im_in_despair]

Some time ago, it became clear to me that there are a shocking number of people on this island who lack the ability to read and write properly. Ignoring for a moment the fact that the native language of this place is English anyway, this is nevertheless indicative of a broader lack of culturedness plaguing the community

Though I do not necessarily object to the idea, wouldn't this be more fitting endeavor for the language department than the history department?

[im_in_despair]

Speaking as the entire body of the Social Studies department, and considering that our language department only teaches one language, I think I'm perfectly suited to this particular endeavor.

[regina_incendia]

Good enough, I suppose. This island is in desperate need of as much help concerning communication as possible.

[im_in_despair]

I quite agree. Will you be attending the class yourself, or are you already well-versed enough for it to be unnecessary?

[shadesofevil]

Why, that's an excellent idea! Interestingly enough, many of the islanders who hail from Earth seem to be from either the United States or Japan.

[im_in_despair]

Indeed they do! Judging by your appearance, I'd place you as the former.

[shadesofevil]

Yes... I don't know exactly where in America, unfortunately. Given the wide variety of Japanese on the island, my attendance at these classes of yours is practically required. Sign me up at once, my good man!

[im_in_despair]

Very well. Might I have your name?

[novolumecontrol]

That sounds like a wonderful idea. It never hurts for a person to know another language. Are you just going to focus on Japanese or will you rotate?

[im_in_despair]

Well, I only actually know the one language, so...

[novolumecontrol]

Well I'm sure you will do a fantastic job as a Japanese teacher. Perhaps one of the other teachers could also teach their own class? As an educator, you must be jumping at the chance to learn a new language.

So I don't have to attend?

[im_in_despair]

Not if you know how to read already.

[anna_no_itako]

Of course I know how to read it.

[[Anna may be able to read it but mun can't. xD What does it say?]]

[im_in_despair]

You're excused, then.
