Things must have changed at PF.
In a former life I spent more than 3 years operating out of PF. It would be true to say that in that time I subjected PF tower to students whose preffered language was anything other than English.
In those day's the tower guys / girls (actually can't remember any girls being up there) were really patient and understanding and a credit to the ATC community.
I guess times change.
