PICTURE of YOURSELF THREAD

I'm just a bit curious, how'd you learn all the languages? I took four years of Spanish classes, and I speak about as much Spanish as you'd expect from the average taco bell consumer.

Thankyou! we picked it from an old family name, she was going to be Rhiannon but the moment I saw Consiglia I knew that was it! Super happy we went that direction it ended up being more meaningful then we could have hoped!

No travel dictionary or online dictionary would put that together sanely without missing words, due to structure you used and context.. we'll assume I'm mostly fluent / fluent in 3 or more languages. :P

Ex-mil, extensive background in SIGINT, computer security, and translation. It helps that I have a photographic memory :)

hahahaha, trust me.. the photographic memory is a curse - people say they want it, but during traumatic situations.. your mind takes pics of things you'd rather forget, and you can't easily flush them.

To be fair, the 3 languages other than English that I know mostly fluently / fluently have overlapping words... Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian :D
Am going to be starting to learn Farsi, but can't even count to 10 in it yet.. hahaha

I think that picking up on Italian might be a little easier because of the Latin root word origin......in many cases its very similiar to spanish....

I suppose it depends on the trauma, worst thing I ever saw in real life was someone splattered by a truck. And that's not an image that leaves easily even without a photographic memory.

Hey thanks, but I'm fine with it, really. Haven't had nightmares about that one in years.

But now, back to Rosetta Stone, you ever see it? I'm told it's as close to immersion as you can get without actually going.

Well every pilot needs some background in TAF for sure but we dont practice it near enough......I think that during flight instruction there should be ton's more training on instruments....ton's more....thats where its at if shit hits the fan.....
