Army Special Forces students are learning Ukrainian in new language course

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel And another useful reference (sic) text when deploying on and offshore both in and out of uniform.

CPT (Join to see) - I would have loved to have had one of these when I was traveling more

LTC (Join to see) --> One of the many non-standard (self) issue resources used by [NAMES still REDACTED] in 12th SFG(A).

The first words in any language that I learn. I am fairly proficient in Italian cursing and know enough Russian and German to get by! While formally trained in the military in Vietnamese and Korean, my profanity level is rather low in both languages!

And ---> helpful street-speak, I mean gestures that are instantly understood. Plenty of excellent resources on the web and elsewhere. Scored a copy of this gem @ SFO before an overseas flight.

During my Special Forces service, I received formal training in Vietnamese and Korean. From your map, it looks like Vietnamese is no longer important...

Rude Hand Gestures was part of my post-military training during the time I worked for the Italian Oil Company - ENI and I learned many of them! Italian hand gestures is just as useful as their spoken language. They have a gesture for pretty much everything, and they don’t hold back when demonstrating them. However, you need to be very careful when using hand gestures throughout the world. In the US, the okay sign means okay... In Iraq, it means "Up Yours!". In Brazil it means your calling someone an "A-Hole"!
