pera pera/this is how it is read/ it means for example perapera shaberimasu - someone speaks fluently, speaks a lot. sth like that. probably iot depends on the context.

I think it's like italy? what do you speak japanese but I coudln't get the last part

I can try it, but I would wait for a better translation from someone more competent

Italy? Why you speak Japanese so smoothly? (still makes no sense in my head tho...maybe coz there is a part of text missing...)

P.S. A curiosity for who doesn't know it. Italia is not only the way it is called in Japanese, but it also the way we Italian say Italy in our language

I was confused about the difference between "dating" and "going out with". How do you said it when you went out with somebody the day before but you mean you dated that person.

"Yestarday I dated a guy"
and
"Yestarday I went out with a guy"

...may they sound like the same thing?

"Dated" is a long-term action, like "I am dating him". "I went out yesterday" would be more correct than "I dated yesterday".

It makes perfect sense. Nothing is missing.

When reading Japanese, Japanese learners tend to look for the words that won't be and shouldn't be in naturally-written (or -spoken) Japanese. That is like me saying "Where are the godd**** particles?" while looking at an English sentence. I won't find any.

You will seldom find a "you" as I hope you have already noticed by now. You won't find the verb "to speak", either, because there is only one thing in the world that you can do ペラペラ and that is to speak a foreign language.

Wow, so that's what pera-pera meant. I saw an episode of Azumanga Daioh, and the English teacher (Yukari) was talking to a foreigner who needed help with directions or something. Her friend, who doesn't know any English, was only hearing, "pera pera pera pera" from both. That explains a lot.
