Learning other languages

I presume you've PM'd Squirrel, and I suspect he may have pointed you in the direction of either CT or the Long Language Courses. If he hasn't mentioned the latter, pop over to ARRSE, look at the Int Forum and read the thread on Language Courses, then similar threads in the Officer's and TA Forum. Any problems in finding these, PM me.
 
One thing to note that noone else has really expanded upon are your learning credits; every year in the RN you'll get £175 to chuck at pretty much anything you want as long as it's educational. As for learning a language to USE as a WS, I'm afraid you're shit out of luck, unless of course you're looking to learn Mongolese (not to be confused with Mongolian, which is a real language) in which case spending time with other WS recruits should suffice in the correct uses of the terms 'innit' and 'fcuk off you cnut'.

Good point only found out about it and used it the last couple of years in the Andrew

Used it to get professional quals for going out side, saved me paying for it

Very soon i'll be signing up as a warfare specialist for her majestys naval service :twisted: And foreign languages is kinda "my thang". I know that communication technicians (or something like that) can learn arabic and / or russian, is it possible for a warfare specialist to do the same?

Thanks
(ps, im a noob)

Before considering another language get your basic English correct first. It will really help.

Re read your post and analyze your errors. Transpose these on a foreign language and I think you may struggle. (I know I did).

Spry's English would be good enough were he learning Danish or Norwegian! :LOL:
