ÛÛ Û Languages and Public Speaking:
ßÛ Û What is common amoung spies, both field wor
kers and analysts? The²Û Û common thread is the underst
anding of several languages. The CIA isÛÛ Û reported to
give a one-time bonus of around $30,000 USD for people ° Û
Û Û it employs who have taken the extra effort to learn a foreign² Û
Û Û language or several languages. The enemies of The West do not know Û
ÛÛ Û English as their primary langauge, and many do not kn
ow english at Û ÛÛ Û all, so it is necessary to learn th
e tongue of the adversaries.Û ÛÛ Û When one retires fro
m the intelligence community (IC) knowing several Û ÛÛ Û la
nguages can be a great boon to finding public-sector employment. Û
ÛÛ Û What languages are in high demand? That depends on wh
ere you areÛ ÛÛ Û assigned, but you will not be assigne
d (generally) to a place where Û ÛÛ Û you don't know the
native language. The main players are China,Û ÛÛ Û Rus
sia, and France. They spy on each other and they focus a lot of Û
ÛÛ Û their efforts spying on countries that speak Farsi, Ar
abic, Hindi, Û ÛÛ Û and Chinese, Russian, French and Eng
lish amongst themselves. The two Û ÛÛ Û main players in te
aching foreign languages are the Rosetta StoneÛ ÛÛ Û me
thod and the Pimsleur method. The Rosetta Stone program usesÛ Û
Û Û audio and video in a computer software program, while the Pimsleur Û
ÛÛ Û method is audio based with MP3s that can be downloade
d to yourÛ ÛÛ Û portable media player and can be listen
ed to at any time, whereÛ ÛÛ Û with Rosetta Stone you n
eed a computer. This Spooknet editor veryÛ ÛÛ Û highly
recommends the Pimsleur method, after having tried both.Û Û
Û Û Perhaps you're a languages teacher or student... advertise here.Û Û
