“The commanding general of SWCS, Brig. Gen. Guillaume Beaurpere said the Ukrainian language was not previously taught to Special Forces candidates. But, due to the demands of the modern battlefield, it’s an essential skill set for the U.S. Military to work with its Ukrainian partners.“

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!

SF-speak = plenty of languages. Signing and other types of non-verbal communication notwithstanding.

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"!
