German Pilot: *Calls for clearance in German* ATC: "You must speak English if you want clearance" German Pilot: "I'm a German pilot in a German country flying a German plane, vhy must I speak English" British Pilot: "Because you lost the bloody war!"
@@daanbreur Well I admit that english are not well seen in France But otherwise, young frenches english level IS actually getting quite good (I'm actually 14 and able to form a correct simple sentence)
I think many people confuse between bad english and bad english accent. People with bad english accent can communicate well in english with good english vocabulary. However most people see people with bad accent as people with bad english
I agree, but very bad accents can make it impossible to understand anyway! As a side note, you get the very same when people say "they can't sing!" when what they actually mean is they don't like their music; their voice could be fine.
There's a study about non-native english speakers (hence bad english accent according to native english speakers) able to understand more variation of accented english compared to native speakers.
American here. I have the most trouble with accents French and Chinese. Everyone else I've encountered I can parse. With the French you have to learn a new version of English that French speakers speak. Chinese is difficult because of tonality. Chinese is a "singing language" (tones are phonologically distinct) and American English has a very even non-musical cadence. Doesn't mesh well. Russians can't handle English grammar, they struggle the most with the language by far. The accent isn't difficult though. Every German I've met speaks perfect English just with a silly voice and confusing personality.
@@TheDavidLiou That makes sense, what I call the "perceived phonetic topology" is much more robust for non-native speakers. Meaning a non-native speaker recognizes the "shape" of words rather than native speakers who go by cadence and something like convolution matching.
I’m a military controller and was stationed in south Florida a couple years back. There was a never ending flow of Spanish native student pilots flying all over. I can not count the number of times there was a fundamental misunderstanding over the air because of their comprehension and ability to speak in English. It also made their transmissions extraordinarily long.
I'm Brazilian and I am learning english because my dream is become a pilot. Because of that I watch english videos about airplane and your channel is one of the channels I watch. You have helped me a lot, thank you

Eduardo S Moura if you ever get the chance to study abroad go and look for a English speaking country? Or look for a place in your erea where native speakers do come. You could even offer to help them speak Portuguese.
Maybe a stupid question, but my English is nearly fluent, but every time I listen to CVR or ATC recordings I can barely make out the words because of the poor audio quality. Is this ever an issue in aviation?
guitarwally1 it's difficult for native speaker too. I'm U S. born, and sometimes have trouble understanding them. If you are listening to a real ATC conversation through your headset, it actually sounds very clear; much like a telephone conversation.
Glad someone else had this same question. When I listen to ATC chatter, it's often so difficult to understand because it's spoken so quickly and not all of it clearly. Do pilots just get used to knowing what to listen for?
"Have you been cleared into the ramp ?" _"Ok cleared to the ramp"_ *"NO THAT WAS A QUESTION! HAVE THE RAMP PEOPLE CLEARED YOU INTO THE GATE?"* Fuck, that is classic.
French people have a very bad (and funny) accent but it is not hard to understand them in my opinion. If anything they tend to articulate too much. However they often communicate in French even in international airports like Orly...
Haha now you have to pass a english test for every engineering school which is as high as what joe explain for pilots, so next gen french atc is going to be better. And there is netflix now 😁
AA 965 crash in Colombia in Dec. 1995: "The air traffic controller, Nelson Rivera Ramírez, believed that some of the requests of the pilots did not make sense, but did not know enough non-aviation English to convey this." (from Wikipedia) He didn't know how to say they were going to crash into a mountain!
I literally love this part with Rod Stewart. Remind my my childhood in my father car where I had '0' idea what he was singing about, until now where I understand and learn out of his lyrics and life experiences... :) Great one Joe.
Luminescent Lion a lot of non native speaker like me will watch this video. Captain Joe is really international 🙌🏾 Really usefull to have english subtitles to understand oral
There are a lot of subtitles for this video (e.g. french), so as a french native speaker you can watch this video without knowing English. The second important thing is Joe speaks very, VERY clear. As a non native speaker I understand Joe perfectly, but sometimes I can not really understand e.g. actors in the show "Sherlock".
This topic reminds me of the following riddle: A person who speaks 3 languages is known as trilingual A person who speaks 2 languages is known as bilingual What do you call a person who speaks one language? . . . . . American!
I consider America is a relatively multilingual country cuz it's so ethnically diverse. And almost every American school teaches Spanish, if not also French, German, and Chinese.
And the French controllers/pilots absolutely REFUSE to speak English with French pilots during ground operations... It messes up situational awareness. Charles de Gaul (CDG) You ARE GUILTY!
@@felixhurteau2630 That would mean learning atleast 20 languages for international pilots... Are you insane or just didnt realise that one? Not to mention one thing are languages that are from same language branch like czech and polish being slavic languages another is knowing english then learning spanish and then japanese... There are people that are able to do that yes but those people have insane talent for languages which only few have.
I'm a pilot in Australia - we do have to do a sort of proficiency test to get the Level 6 certificate, but it literally amounts to sitting in a room with whoever is certified to sign you off, and just having a 5 minute conversation. Then they fill out paperwork and we get a piece of paper that says we speak english :)
Great video Captain Joe. I am an American who spent many years in Germany while in the military. Learning German was always a challenge but well worth my efforts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
I have a disqualifying condition which prevents me from becoming a pilot. You do not know how much I enjoy your videos and how happy they make me watching. I may not be able to grow up and be what I want to be, but it's nice absorbing content of what I love.
I'm a German and I'm currently watching only english videos on YT. Thank you for your clean language, I can understand every single word. Americans have that 'slang' which is sometimes hard to understand, but I also try this. Because I finished my school, me and my parents went to Canada for a camper trip and I had no problems to communicate. I think, just hearing English every day helps a lot!
no point learning specialized terminology if you can't understand basic grammar. That is why those who went to English-speaking schools are exempt from it.
Yeah, but there is more to ICAO English than basic grammar that is my whole point. It is not only aviation terminology either, some native speakers actually have really thick accents. I do not think most native speakers would struggle to get 6, but some might score lower and it seems just weird to grant them lifetime level 6.
The issue I see with native speakers getting level 6 "for free" is, that native speakers that have never studied an other language tend to be lacking strategies to avoid communication lock ups. A simple example: An American from one city is asking for Cola (meaning Coca Cola) and the American seller from a different city responds which "Which Cola?" (using Cola as synonym for soda). The escalation of such a conversation is pretty quickly and ends with shutting "COLA" and "WHICH?". Meanwhile, a non native speaker instantly recognizes the problem, points to the red Coke can and says "Coca Cola". This is a simplified example - but the stereotype of americans just increasing their volume and repeating phrases has some truth to it. Meanwhile, non native speakers try using alternate words and describing what they want, as this is a simple but effective strategy when you do not find or have the perfect word.
I’d pay good money to hear Cpt Joe sing “I am sailing” :-D Another brilliant video by Cpt Joe, we are native English speakers but still found this entertaining thanks to the JoeFactor :-) My son and I have always been plane fans. My son especially watches a lot of CZcams but Cpt Joe is the only CZcamsr that brings us both together. We even now look out for new Cpt Joe videos (and have notifications on ;) - we don’t do this for any other CZcamsr! Keep the outro music. We love it.
I am extremely grateful to have my parents raise me bilingual. While my mother wasn't fluent in English, my dad who was raised with a british and a german speaker in their family, he was responsible for only speaking English in front of me. My mother spoke german, and I had a good mix from both sides. Coming to the States and going to an English-speaking school was WAY easier on my end. I can only recommend rewatching your favorite movies (The ones you know by heart) in a different language with audio and subtitles (When you understand basic grammar). But as joe mentioned, having someone near you who you can strike up a conversation in a foreign language is very Valuable. I am learning Spanish right now, and I am fortunate to have someone who is a friend from my mom, who is from Columbia and speaks Spanish.
It is normal in the world among non - European descent nations. For example the best way to understand an average Japanese speaking English is to learn... Japanese. People in Japan learning English just at school can be quite good at English, but it is not an easy task to get rid of Japanese accent while speaking English. This famous "Engrish" for example. So, learning just basics of Japanese and Japanese pronunciation quite facilitates understanding English of a Japanese. I think, that this is the same with Chinese and almost any other language. Moreover, sound of English and it's pronunciation is different from most other languages. For example, vowels are pronounced the same way in majority languages of the world. For example pronunciation of "a" is the same in Polish, Russian, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish... But not in English. The same is with other vowels. So, English is quite "special" among languages of the world.
pokrec Quite true. I speak both Japanese and Chinese, as well as two other languages besides English, which I'm sure helps. But even someone who only speaks English will get used to an accent after a while.😉
pokrec, Engrish is more about bad literal translations of idioms or figurative language that native speakers don't think of as such, than accents in spoken English. Also, in Japan, English is treated like English speakers treat French or Italian. It's exotic and fancy and used to dress up ordinary items to make them seem less ordinary. Slogans on T-shirts can be quite hilarious.
Iam 13 years old, from Czech republic, I learned english mostly from youtube videos and books :) And my english accent is really weird, cause I watch english-speaking youtubers from different countries, with different accents, so my english accent is a mix of german, slightly russian, canadian, american, british, czech and spanish accent (Just realised i used word accent like ten times but nevermind)
I'm 23 years old Russian guy, who lives in Austria, and your mentioned exactly the reason, why I stopped carrying about my accent. Even native speakers have a lot of accent, so which one should I learn as a foreigner ? My decision was to learn, how to pronounce the words understandable. I think if everyone can understand you without any problems, it means, your pronunciation is good enough for a good communication.
@@ddd7386 "Caring" is the correct word not "carrying" . You carry things or people. For example " I was carrying the baby from her bed to the high chair."
I love your videos,I’m Mexican and I’m actually learning English ,and I’m so proud of me hahaha because I can understand most of your videos ,and I hope I improve my English little by little ,this sentence is always in my mind,a good pilot is always learning ! Thanks for your videos captain!
I commend you for having the integrity to openly admit that this is an advertisement in the TITLE. Most youtubers will rarely even include something in the description.
Joe you English is perfect. I understand 95% of your speach and it made me sure that I'm fluent in that language. I came to Ireland on holiday, and when I was buying a sandwich on gas station, some woman near till asked me about something, I didn't even understand one word :O everywhere people has own accent and make English sometimes unreadable :(
Another wonderful thing about the Internet is that there are so many people from so many different walks of life. I've been learning Russian, bit-by-bit, and being able to go online and find native Russian speakers who are willing to talk with me has gone a long way to helping me learn. No matter what language it is, if you don't USE it, you LOSE it.
Don't send traffic into the face of other traffic. Interweave departures and arrivals within distance limits. It's not that hard, conceptually at least.
The designated runway is designated for both landing and takeoff. Both are done in the same direction. As a matter of fact, if an airplane has short enough takeoff and landing distances, they can land on a runway, come to a complete stop on that runway, and take off from that same runway without ever changing directions.
I’m a native spanish speaker and what really helped my english skills is moving to the US for my degree at college. Not to mention, to buy a radio scanner and just “listen” at the airport for hours what’s going on with arriving and departing aircraft. That radio scanner was my best initial investments when flying my first few hours and building situational awareness at busy airports.
Maaaan. I am not a native english speaker, nor am I willing to become a pilot. But boy, is your channel interesting and very informative even for a simple passenger as me. You are also very charismatic, professional, clear and precise when it comes down to information you are providing in your clips. I just love listening and watching you. Please keep up the good work. Cheers, just recently became your subscriber :)
I have an English father and Czech mother. I grew up in the UK and visited my Czech grandparents in Czechia for about 2 weeks every year. Unfortunately, younger me was too stubborn and uninterested in learning Czech, so I didn’t learn it. :( However, I’m now considering taking lessons with online Skype tutoring to improve my proficiency. I’m actually better at French than the language of half my heritage, due to being taught the language at school. 😂 Dobrý večer!
Когда я это услышал, так смешно стало, Джо такое лицо сделал забавное. Вообще мне кажется, что почти каждый иностранец делает такое лицо, когда слышит русский язык) When I just heard that, it made me laugh, and Joe made such a funny face. I suppose, almost every foreigner makes such a face when he hears Russian)
I'm from ST. Vincent & the Grenadines Captain Joe and your my role that keeps me striving each even I am not rich and I don't have enough money to become a pilot with your videos you still help me to keep pushing and strive to become a pilot everyday i watch your videos and thank you very much for teaching me and I'm only 16 but i really want to become a pilot and in the next i will be going to college hopefully and i will push even harder to become a pilot with limited resources no matter what
Thank you so much capt. Joe for ALL your videos, that have been so precious during all my pilot training, and for refreshments. On the top of all, your mindset is so supportive and motivational that it is a great source of energy and positive fuel for the brain and heart. A great and big thank you !
The best way to learn English is to listen English I think. I grew playing video games in English, watching English cartoons etc, and today, at only 14 I achieved a pretty good oral English (I still need to practice my writing) and the problem is that it makes my English lessons in school useless because all the grammar rules I learn I already use them even if I don't know the rule
English is important to learn even if you are not a pilot..when i was learning English i used to watch a FRIENDS episode with subtitle at day time and re-watch it with no subtitle at night. And I'm still learning :D
El Othemany So here's a question: why did they decide on English? Was it simply because the British Empire had such a global reach that so many countries speak English as an official language? And is this also why you have to be able to speak English in order to sit in the exit row (at least on United and probably on American)?
@Frey the strength of the inflection depends on the geographic area where you speak Italian. I’m from USA, my grandparents moved there for work, then years after got the citizenship. My parents and I are born in USA so we are USA citizens,our mother language is English, I speak fluently Italian. Both of the language without inflections, but when I travel for work an the destination happens to be Italy, oww most of the times I have to resort to use Italian. 🇺🇸🇮🇹
@Frey nessun problema 🙂 anche negli States ci sono certe zone dove l’accento locale modifica la pronuncia, non solo in caso di persone che sono multilingue, ma persino la pronuncia e comprensione dello stesso Inglese.
The importance of the English language in aviation, and the blessing that God gave you Captain Joe for the mother he gave you, and the beautiful family in which you were born, who gave you the English language natively, in my opinion you are an excellent human being. And you deserve it, may God bless you and protect you always.
"Do you speak it?!" one of the best pictures ever made. China finally eliminated bilingual ATC two years ago. Russia switched to flight levels in feet about 3 years ago, China is still fumbling with FL in meters, meters are cumbersome as the practical traffic separation is around 300meters so you get everything in base three and then need to sort out east and west flight levels. --- For those who are not pilots, 1000 feet(300meters) is a practical vertical separation and when flying higher than 3000 feet above ground level all east headings(0-179) use odd thousands eg 17 000 and west headings(180-359) use even thousands eg 18 000; visual flight rules aircraft add 500 feet eg 17 500. The flight level or altitude is always shortened to exactly three digits: 170, 175, 015, 008 in communications. So now in China you have eastward: 8900, 9500, 10100, 10700, 11300, 11900, 12500 meters; westward: 9200, 9800, 10400, 11000, 11600, and 12200 meters, difficult to memorize and these do not convert to rounded feet based flight levels. So you get eg 14800 and 19700 feet, and they have no even/odd rule thus a chart or math calculation is needed for determining E or W at every level.
Ich werde in einer Woche einen langen Flug machen. Und CZcams empfiehlt mir diesen Kanal. So gut er (bisher) ist, so sehr stimmt mich das auch zum Nachdenken. ;)
I live in Ireland for last 13 years, I have a Polish birth cert, my parents are French and Polish... can speak, English, Polish, French fluently, learned German at school, aaaand to top it all off... also learned Irish in Irish school, pretty funky language
Captain Joe, as a flight enthusiast I'm amazed with your videos! Every day learning a new and interesting thing! Not only english might be hard to understand if not trained, but as a proficient english foreign speaker I still find it really hard to get all meanings over radio communications. Keep it up on Spanish lessons! Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina!
I flew one week ago on a cathay pacific flight and OMG, most of the flight attendants i had didn't speak a word of English, that is scarry seriously, they are responsable of the safety of the passengers so just imagine in case of a emergency, how would they deal with this!
The traditional dialect in Hong Kong was Cantonese. An alarm in Chinese may not be understandable because they don't use the UN Mandarin dialect therefore no one will likely understand them at all!
1:44 the final E of Tenerife has to be pronounced ;) (like the E in "end") I wouldn't have understood it if it wasn't because I know about that accident. One of the most catastrophic disasters in the aviation history... It's both shocking and sad.
ATTACKASSASSIN since he's learning Spanish, he may not know it and could be useful to him. If not, and he knows it, then he'll ignore it and life goes on. Now people know a bit more of Spanish thanks to my comment. Isn't that awesome free knowledge? I mean, I wrote this comment because he mentioned Spanish language. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.
I'm British and there are A LOT of people here that can't even speak the language and they're born and bred here. That's before we even get to our staggering range of dialects and regional variations. Joe your English is better than many Brits!
Some of the smaller airports in Colombia, ATC doesn’t have the highest proficiency in English. I hear them all the time giving instructions to pilots in Spanish. Thank god for TCAS.

Joe, I need to tell you, as a 12 year old Pole growing up 9 years in the UK, my English has become unbeatable. Like, people can't even tell that I am Polish, 'cos I am so good at it!
Thank you Capt.Joe! I am American, and like most of my countrymen, I take speaking English for granted. I have studied French, Spanish and Japaneses, so very much appreciate how non-English speakers may struggle. Have people heard the term "lingua franca", it means that at one time anyone who didn't speak French, was a "barbarian". Which, by the way, is the Greek word for anyone who didn't speak Greek. So I don't want my native tongue to be the imperialistic ruler of the world, but it does have certain characteristics, which make it very adaptable. Just watch a foreign language film, where the language is spoken twice as fast (more words to say the same thing?) as English (proven fact) and try to read the subtitles to keep up. Almost impossible (film makers take note!). Maybe that's why foreign films are not more popular in the US, unless they are dubbed into English.
That’s one of the reasons why it’s very useful that we in the Netherlands are obligated to make an English exam. English is just as imported as Dutch and math. I know that I needed to have a 7 average for those three subjects to reach the next school year.
I like being an American who is fluent in french, it’s very unusual to the french people. They actually try to speak English to me whenever I visit, maybe to practice..
A pilot I knew 20 years ago claimed that ATC:s in France had no problem with English when the call sign was a large airline and the aircraft was large. When arriving to the same airport in a small private aircraft the same controllers only spoke French :D
I went to a large restaurant in Kentucky. Many customers at the restaurant were wearing orange clothing.

I think many people confuse between bad english and bad english accent. People with bad english accent can communicate well in english with good english vocabulary.
However most people see people with bad accent as people with bad english
I agree, but very bad accents can make it impossible to understand anyway!
As a side note, you get the very same when people say "they can't sing!" when what they actually mean is they don't like their music; their voice could be fine.

AA 965 crash in Colombia in Dec. 1995: "The air traffic controller, Nelson Rivera Ramírez, believed that some of the requests of the pilots did not make sense, but did not know enough non-aviation English to convey this." (from Wikipedia) He didn't know how to say they were going to crash into a mountain!
Callie Masters jesus that sucks
oh wowwwwww
Was that Samuel L Jackson in the intro😂😂😀
I literally love this part with Rod Stewart. Remind my my childhood in my father car where I had '0' idea what he was singing about, until now where I understand and learn out of his lyrics and life experiences... :) Great one Joe.
joe in the beginning "I would be out of that plane within seconds" made me laugh super hard.
Telling people in english how to learn english
Luminescent Lion XD
Spreading the word bro😅😅😂
Maybe somes watch the video with the translated subtitles
Luminescent Lion a lot of non native speaker like me will watch this video. Captain Joe is really international 🙌🏾
Really usefull to have english subtitles to understand oral
There are a lot of subtitles for this video (e.g. french), so as a french native speaker you can watch this video without knowing English. The second important thing is Joe speaks very, VERY clear. As a non native speaker I understand Joe perfectly, but sometimes I can not really understand e.g. actors in the show "Sherlock".
This topic reminds me of the following riddle:
A person who speaks 3 languages is known as trilingual
A person who speaks 2 languages is known as bilingual
What do you call a person who speaks one language?

American!
jellofan Not a riddle, just a joke.
jellofan that’s offensive, a higher percentage of Americans are bilingual than Canadians, and that’s an officially bilingual country.
Lmao everyone getting triggered
British not American. So many people speak Spanish, chinese, Russian in america.
I consider America is a relatively multilingual country cuz it's so ethnically diverse. And almost every American school teaches Spanish, if not also French, German, and Chinese.
Speaking English like the Brits? (British)

And the French controllers/pilots absolutely REFUSE to speak English with French pilots during ground operations...
It messes up situational awareness.

Isn't that illegal?
Sorry, but it's hard to assume that goddamn accent.
Yes we are but l’aéropostale c’était qui ? C’était bibi ! Haha 😂
Pilots should always understand the language of the countries they are in, or atleast the base.
@@felixhurteau2630 That would mean learning atleast 20 languages for international pilots... Are you insane or just didnt realise that one? Not to mention one thing are languages that are from same language branch like czech and polish being slavic languages another is knowing english then learning spanish and then japanese... There are people that are able to do that yes but those people have insane talent for languages which only few have.
*"If you asked me how important English is in aviation, my answer is 12"* Joe, that's not how it works...
The Pulp Fiction Bit at the beginning was priceless 😂😂 nice Job Joe!
I'm a pilot in Australia - we do have to do a sort of proficiency test to get the Level 6 certificate, but it literally amounts to sitting in a room with whoever is certified to sign you off, and just having a 5 minute conversation. Then they fill out paperwork and we get a piece of paper that says we speak english :)
Great video Captain Joe. I am an American who spent many years in Germany while in the military. Learning German was always a challenge but well worth my efforts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

I have a disqualifying condition which prevents me from becoming a pilot. You do not know how much I enjoy your videos and how happy they make me watching. I may not be able to grow up and be what I want to be, but it's nice absorbing content of what I love.
I'm a German and I'm currently watching only english videos on YT. Thank you for your clean language, I can understand every single word. Americans have that 'slang' which is sometimes hard to understand, but I also try this. Because I finished my school, me and my parents went to Canada for a camper trip and I had no problems to communicate. I think, just hearing English every day helps a lot!

Lol.heeeeeeere
I find it weird that English speaking people do not need to go through testing even though aviation English has all sorts of specialized terminology.
no point learning specialized terminology if you can't understand basic grammar. That is why those who went to English-speaking schools are exempt from it.
Yeah, but there is more to ICAO English than basic grammar that is my whole point. It is not only aviation terminology either, some native speakers actually have really thick accents. I do not think most native speakers would struggle to get 6, but some might score lower and it seems just weird to grant them lifetime level 6.
The issue I see with native speakers getting level 6 "for free" is, that native speakers that have never studied an other language tend to be lacking strategies to avoid communication lock ups. A simple example: An American from one city is asking for Cola (meaning Coca Cola) and the American seller from a different city responds which "Which Cola?" (using Cola as synonym for soda). The escalation of such a conversation is pretty quickly and ends with shutting "COLA" and "WHICH?". Meanwhile, a non native speaker instantly recognizes the problem, points to the red Coke can and says "Coca Cola". This is a simplified example - but the stereotype of americans just increasing their volume and repeating phrases has some truth to it. Meanwhile, non native speakers try using alternate words and describing what they want, as this is a simple but effective strategy when you do not find or have the perfect word.
I’d pay good money to hear Cpt Joe sing “I am sailing” :-D
Another brilliant video by Cpt Joe, we are native English speakers but still found this entertaining thanks to the JoeFactor :-)
My son and I have always been plane fans. My son especially watches a lot of CZcams but Cpt Joe is the only CZcamsr that brings us both together. We even now look out for new Cpt Joe videos (and have notifications on ;) - we don’t do this for any other CZcamsr!
Keep the outro music. We love it.
I am extremely grateful to have my parents raise me bilingual. While my mother wasn't fluent in English, my dad who was raised with a british and a german speaker in their family, he was responsible for only speaking English in front of me. My mother spoke german, and I had a good mix from both sides. Coming to the States and going to an English-speaking school was WAY easier on my end. I can only recommend rewatching your favorite movies (The ones you know by heart) in a different language with audio and subtitles (When you understand basic grammar). But as joe mentioned, having someone near you who you can strike up a conversation in a foreign language is very Valuable. I am learning Spanish right now, and I am fortunate to have someone who is a friend from my mom, who is from Columbia and speaks Spanish.
That was a Chinese air hostess trying to speak English.😊 Used to fly regularly to and in China, so I'm used to it.😂😂
It is very similar when you call tech support that has call-centr in India
It is normal in the world among non - European descent nations. For example the best way to understand an average Japanese speaking English is to learn... Japanese. People in Japan learning English just at school can be quite good at English, but it is not an easy task to get rid of Japanese accent while speaking English. This famous "Engrish" for example. So, learning just basics of Japanese and Japanese pronunciation quite facilitates understanding English of a Japanese.
I think, that this is the same with Chinese and almost any other language.
Moreover, sound of English and it's pronunciation is different from most other languages. For example, vowels are pronounced the same way in majority languages of the world. For example pronunciation of "a" is the same in Polish, Russian, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish... But not in English. The same is with other vowels. So, English is quite "special" among languages of the world.
pokrec Quite true. I speak both Japanese and Chinese, as well as two other languages besides English, which I'm sure helps. But even someone who only speaks English will get used to an accent after a while.😉
pokrec, Engrish is more about bad literal translations of idioms or figurative language that native speakers don't think of as such, than accents in spoken English. Also, in Japan, English is treated like English speakers treat French or Italian. It's exotic and fancy and used to dress up ordinary items to make them seem less ordinary. Slogans on T-shirts can be quite hilarious.
don't want to sound textbook, but...i call complacency!
Iam 13 years old, from Czech republic, I learned english mostly from youtube videos and books :)
And my english accent is really weird, cause I watch english-speaking youtubers from different countries, with different accents, so my english accent is a mix of german, slightly russian, canadian, american, british, czech and spanish accent (Just realised i used word accent like ten times but nevermind)
I'm 23 years old Russian guy, who lives in Austria, and your mentioned exactly the reason, why I stopped carrying about my accent. Even native speakers have a lot of accent, so which one should I learn as a foreigner ? My decision was to learn, how to pronounce the words understandable. I think if everyone can understand you without any problems, it means, your pronunciation is good enough for a good communication.
I'm from the Czech Republic but I was born in England, with a British dad and a Czech mum, so I'm lucky as hell.

I still cant figure out joe's accent. Its unlike anything i've ever heard
Jæk It sounds like a mix of a German accent with an English one
He's half German, half English.
It just doesn't sound that german though, like it's a third german, a third english, and a third american or something.
Jæk sounds like he is originally from the UK. But moved to Germany
Jæk it is mathematically impossible to be a third something
Joe you English is perfect. I understand 95% of your speach and it made me sure that I'm fluent in that language. I came to Ireland on holiday, and when I was buying a sandwich on gas station, some woman near till asked me about something, I didn't even understand one word :O everywhere people has own accent and make English sometimes unreadable :(
Another wonderful thing about the Internet is that there are so many people from so many different walks of life.
I've been learning Russian, bit-by-bit, and being able to go online and find native Russian speakers who are willing to talk with me has gone a long way to helping me learn.
No matter what language it is, if you don't USE it, you LOSE it.
Can you explain the pattern in which airplanes land and take off. Like can a runway dedicated to landing also be used for takeoff??
Don't send traffic into the face of other traffic. Interweave departures and arrivals within distance limits. It's not that hard, conceptually at least.
The designated runway is designated for both landing and takeoff. Both are done in the same direction. As a matter of fact, if an airplane has short enough takeoff and landing distances, they can land on a runway, come to a complete stop on that runway, and take off from that same runway without ever changing directions.
«Hey! How you doing?» 😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious ))
Love Friends!
I’m a native spanish speaker and what really helped my english skills is moving to the US for my degree at college. Not to mention, to buy a radio scanner and just “listen” at the airport for hours what’s going on with arriving and departing aircraft. That radio scanner was my best initial investments when flying my first few hours and building situational awareness at busy airports.
Maaaan. I am not a native english speaker, nor am I willing to become a pilot. But boy, is your channel interesting and very informative even for a simple passenger as me. You are also very charismatic, professional, clear and precise when it comes down to information you are providing in your clips. I just love listening and watching you. Please keep up the good work.
Cheers, just recently became your subscriber :)
I have an English father and Czech mother. I grew up in the UK and visited my Czech grandparents in Czechia for about 2 weeks every year. Unfortunately, younger me was too stubborn and uninterested in learning Czech, so I didn’t learn it. :( However, I’m now considering taking lessons with online Skype tutoring to improve my proficiency. I’m actually better at French than the language of half my heritage, due to being taught the language at school. 😂 Dobrý večer!
Some Person Lol snap...my French is better than my other mother tongue because well we grew up abroad anyway so too many languages to learn 😂

I'm from ST. Vincent & the Grenadines Captain Joe and your my role that keeps me striving each even I am not rich and I don't have enough money to become a pilot with your videos you still help me to keep pushing and strive to become a pilot everyday i watch your videos and thank you very much for teaching me and I'm only 16 but i really want to become a pilot and in the next i will be going to college hopefully and i will push even harder to become a pilot with limited resources no matter what
Thank you so much capt. Joe for ALL your videos, that have been so precious during all my pilot training, and for refreshments.

Thank God someone else mentions it. Soooo fking hot!
Hey Joe I am ur new subscriber....love ur videos....love from India
The best way to learn English is to listen English I think. I grew playing video games in English, watching English cartoons etc, and today, at only 14 I achieved a pretty good oral English (I still need to practice my writing) and the problem is that it makes my English lessons in school useless because all the grammar rules I learn I already use them even if I don't know the rule
Like I said in a previous conversation, English is the language of the Airline industry. You make great videos Capt. Joe!
The clip from pulp fiction was great!
Holly hell I haven't seen a cassette tape in decades !
I learn English by watching tons of CZcams videos, and it helps a lot!
English is important to learn even if you are not a pilot..when i was learning English i used to watch a FRIENDS episode with subtitle at day time and re-watch it with no subtitle at night. And I'm still learning :D
El Othemany So here's a question: why did they decide on English? Was it simply because the British Empire had such a global reach that so many countries speak English as an official language?
And is this also why you have to be able to speak English in order to sit in the exit row (at least on United and probably on American)?
@@cyndie26 Because Aviation was started and dominated in English-speaking countries
I'm Italian-Moroccan, i'm good at english (i am the first in my class) and holy shit every time I try to do an English accent I sound Indian 😂
@Frey it’s because of the Italian part.
@@EM.1 yeah most likely
@Frey the strength of the inflection depends on the geographic area where you speak Italian. I’m from USA, my grandparents moved there for work, then years after got the citizenship. My parents and I are born in USA so we are USA citizens,our mother language is English, I speak fluently Italian. Both of the language without inflections, but when I travel for work an the destination happens to be Italy, oww most of the times I have to resort to use Italian. 🇺🇸🇮🇹
@@EM.1 alright, grazie for the info tho 😄👍
@Frey nessun problema 🙂 anche negli States ci sono certe zone dove l’accento locale modifica la pronuncia, non solo in caso di persone che sono multilingue, ma persino la pronuncia e comprensione dello stesso Inglese.
Forever haunted by Rod Stewart lyrics. Poor Joe!
I'm German and in the 7th class now and I can understand you very good even without subtitles ;-)

"If you ask me how important English is in aviation on a scale from 0 to 10, my answer is 12."
Me: **Visible confusion**
"Do you speak it?!" one of the best pictures ever made. China finally eliminated bilingual ATC two years ago. Russia switched to flight levels in feet about 3 years ago, China is still fumbling with FL in meters, meters are cumbersome as the practical traffic separation is around 300meters so you get everything in base three and then need to sort out east and west flight levels.
---
For those who are not pilots, 1000 feet(300meters) is a practical vertical separation and when flying higher than 3000 feet above ground level all east headings(0-179) use odd thousands eg 17 000 and west headings(180-359) use even thousands eg 18 000; visual flight rules aircraft add 500 feet eg 17 500. The flight level or altitude is always shortened to exactly three digits: 170, 175, 015, 008 in communications. So now in China you have eastward: 8900, 9500, 10100, 10700, 11300, 11900, 12500 meters; westward: 9200, 9800, 10400, 11000, 11600, and 12200 meters, difficult to memorize and these do not convert to rounded feet based flight levels. So you get eg 14800 and 19700 feet, and they have no even/odd rule thus a chart or math calculation is needed for determining E or W at every level.

I live in Ireland for last 13 years, I have a Polish birth cert, my parents are French and Polish... can speak, English, Polish, French fluently, learned German at school, aaaand to top it all off... also learned Irish in Irish school, pretty funky language
Captain Joe, as a flight enthusiast I'm amazed with your videos! Every day learning a new and interesting thing! Not only english might be hard to understand if not trained, but as a proficient english foreign speaker I still find it really hard to get all meanings over radio communications. Keep it up on Spanish lessons! Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina!
I flew one week ago on a cathay pacific flight and OMG, most of the flight attendants i had didn't speak a word of English, that is scarry seriously, they are responsable of the safety of the passengers so just imagine in case of a emergency, how would they deal with this!
The traditional dialect in Hong Kong was Cantonese. An alarm in Chinese may not be understandable because they don't use the UN Mandarin dialect therefore no one will likely understand them at all!
How? See the example of the train crash in Wenzhou circa summer 2011. Just dump in a pit and shovel up with fresh soil.
1:44 the final E of Tenerife has to be pronounced ;) (like the E in "end")

Skwisgaar Skwigelf So in that case, Paris must be pronounced “Par-ee” right?
ATTACKASSASSIN since he's learning Spanish, he may not know it and could be useful to him. If not, and he knows it, then he'll ignore it and life goes on.

Bruh same here. Flightschool is my dads income multiplied by 3 (without counting in taxes).
Thank you Capt.Joe! I am American, and like most of my countrymen, I take speaking English for granted. I have studied French, Spanish and Japaneses, so very much appreciate how non-English speakers may struggle. Have people heard the term "lingua franca", it means that at one time anyone who didn't speak French, was a "barbarian". Which, by the way, is the Greek word for anyone who didn't speak Greek. So I don't want my native tongue to be the imperialistic ruler of the world, but it does have certain characteristics, which make it very adaptable. Just watch a foreign language film, where the language is spoken twice as fast (more words to say the same thing?) as English (proven fact) and try to read the subtitles to keep up. Almost impossible (film makers take note!). Maybe that's why foreign films are not more popular in the US, unless they are dubbed into English.
That’s one of the reasons why it’s very useful that we in the Netherlands are obligated to make an English exam. English is just as imported as Dutch and math. I know that I needed to have a 7 average for those three subjects to reach the next school year.
Amazing! You are better in English than non-English people living in the U.S.!

I like being an American who is fluent in french, it’s very unusual to the french people. They actually try to speak English to me whenever I visit, maybe to practice..
I think the comment was because french ATCO speak french to french crew ^^
A pilot I knew 20 years ago claimed that ATC:s in France had no problem with English when the call sign was a large airline and the aircraft was large. When arriving to the same airport in a small private aircraft the same controllers only spoke French :D
French are irrelevant anyway.
I'm LMFAO when we speak in English to Air France Crew and they struggle to reply, they add too much "eeehhh...eeehhh", greetings French people ✌
As an ATC, I can vouch for everything Captain Joe said in this video!
I went to a large restaurant in Kentucky. Many customers at the restaurant were wearing orange clothing. I was confused when man called out, _"Go Big 'R'!"_ because his hat had a big letter 'T' on it. The customers looked like parents of a big sport's team. It took me a minute to realize that the man meant _"Go Big _*_Orange_*_ !"_ The sport's team was from the University of Tennessee (pronounced "Tainahsaeeiii ya knooooooow").
