Ha ! I think I know what you're talking about ....
For us people that are no native english speakers, there's a second hurdle:
In case you manage to get your 'tale' onto the wire in the correct order,
then you still have to fear the response.

I've been in France over the weekend for the annual French experimental
(RSA) meeting at Chambley (40 km south-west from Metz (LFJL) and on saturday
we headed for Idar-Oberstein (EDGR, not in FlightGear) to have lunch (you
can order from within flight  ;-)
You really don't have any idea how you have to deal with French ATC speaking
english  ;-)  Our pilot was quite good at French (I filled the role as the
'navigator'), otherwise we'd probably been pretty lost  :-)

Thanks for your report - I'm getting jealous  ;-)

Martin.
