    frigate language.

    about 1997 my partner and I took in language students.One was a mature french guy from one of the major french naval bases.He was on a english refresher course and was pretty good,hower as his leaving date drew near he became very anxious and worried looking so I asked hom what the problem was.He replied”when I start work next week I have to train Taiwanese sailors on ship systems on some second hand frigates we are selling to them,problem is only the officers speak english so I have to translate from French to english and they tell the sailors in chinese”!!!Wonder if the frigates ever got there!!!
