    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
