User blog comment:Tiamatwizard/Pros & Cons of Using Hetalia in the Classroom/@comment-83.61.23.158-20100606175707

Seeing how I was giggling at German farmers moving to America in its early history, I'm just glad I'm not taking world history anymore (I discovered Hetalia just as I moved to American history).

Any kind of history used to be incredibly hard and boring for me, usually because they constantly referenced things I had no idea about. Hetalia provides a very basic and entertaining portrayal of historical events, and it really helps.

I would've loved if I had learned of Hetalia earlier. It's a parody of history, but at least it lets me feel some happiness as a fan, just by getting good marks in class. I mostly just recommend it for those who have trouble with history, like me.
