No commercial operation here now.

... I had a check ride there by French instructor who did not
speak English and I did not speak French.

Things changed since that time: I had during this summer a Saudian student
who didn't speak French and was very happy whith my English. Years of
newsgroup reading and somtimes posting helped me to become familiar with
our technical vocabulary. However I don't know if a native english speaker
would appreciate my English in the same way.
