Meh, go overseas and learn to fly there, see how you tackle the language barrier.

English speaking nations are very arrogant when it comes to language however, we are lucky English is the international aviation language.

What gets up my goat is the lack of situational awareness many of these SPL's display. They fly very well when told track heading 024 until 500ft, left 30, fly heading e.t.c till 1000ft, right turn 20, etc, they will fly this chain perfectly, throw something in to mix it up and they fall to bits!!

It may be culture or many other factors, but most reputable airlines in the world you will find a English anglosaxon born and raised in the LH seat, while many of the "other's" are career RH.....

Make any sense?
