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 ^_^;
