Im going to order Rosetta Stone. I havent decided what language to learn. I speak a little spanish already.
Top choices are Japanese, chinese(mandarin) or something middleeastern (Arabic or Farsi). I have a Japanese friend who could help me if i have trouble. And i would be cool to talk to him on the radio and have no one else understand. I could end up working in Japan or China or the middle east. All these places have opertunities in my field. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Learn Java or C++. Bah. I say either go C or do an interpreter lang. like Python/Perl. Figures only programmers would be online now. Im a pilot. I comunicate using voice, not ones and zeros. Someone has to herd those bits while everyone else sleeps.  |

Digital or analog controls on your aircraft? 100% analog. Some instrumentation is electronic but interface is all analog and all in English. Even fly by wire airplanes like Airbus dont show ones and zeros to the flight crew. they have analog readouts. English is the international language of aviation by convention. You can fly anywhere in the world and talk english to the air traffic controllers (mostly). When you get out of the plane and go out to eat, not so much. |
