Hello,
During english lessons, it is often difficult to understand the dialogue. Fortunately the questions take back in writing a part of the dialogue.
However, this ease perturbs the real understanding by optimizing wrongly my performances.
What do you think about ?
Have a nice WE !

Hi bravodeltafr,
Well, I noticed like you did that sometimes the questions help to understand the audio.
For me, it's just like in real life: depending on the context, there are more or less details that help you to understand what is said. When you're at work, you are deeply involved in your subject, you know what kind of speech goes on, the same when you meet people, when you go to the bank, etc. The understanding is a whole made of different signs, visual as much as words. You're also allowed to guess, and you won't say that you cheat. The most difficult speech to catch is the radio, it's blind, they speak fast, change quickly from a topic to another...

And now, let me have a guess about you nickname:
the suffix fr is for France, like in .fr ?
Delta is the Greec D, or maybe the Delta du Rhône, living somewhere near Marseille?
Bravo is a congratulation, to whom ?
Have a pleasant week anyway, bravo!

Pimpanella, thanks for your post.
My nickname is very simple... I'm a fan of aviation, I was a pilote and always a flightsimmer.
The initials of my real name are BD.
B is said at the radio language of pilotes Bravo, and D is said Delta, and so on all along the alphabet.
And finaly, fr is my country : France.
So, BD-France has became bravo-delta-fr !
Have a nice day !

How interesting, and I guess your passion for flying will resonate with a good fellow of us and staunch participant on this forum, AhQ to name him.
As for me, as I'm rather unaware on aeronautics, I promptly looked flightsimmer up on the web, I could see it's related to planes but couldn't find the meaning of it. Will you explain it to me, and say what kind of plane you used to fly?
Thanks to you now I know how to spell two letters in radio language, in case I need it :-)
Good day to you too, bravodelta.

Hie !
Your answer is very interesting, and permits to discuss (in english for me... I don't know where you are from).
Simflying allows to drive a virtual aeroplane, near the real world.
You have to get a simulator in your PC (mine is Flight Simulator). In this simulator, you have the landscape of many places all over the world, specialy the cities where there is an airport, and over all, airports are very detailled, with the runways, taxis, parks, designed from the aeronautical charts.
You can pilot many planes, from the ULM till a Boeing 747.
But for that, you must learn how to pilot, know how works the machine, know what are the proceedings to fly, the roads, and many other things.
Furthermore on the Net, your flight can be controlled, as a real flight by controllers who are guys everywhere in the world. For that you must learn the proceeds to speak at the radio, and of course, learn the aeronautic alphabet (;-))
I know real captain pilots who arrive at their real airport, and when they are at home, they open their PC, and become either a flightsimmer, either a control simmer...
That is what we can call a passion and addiction !
Have a nice day !

GGtower: " Aircraft overflying the GymGlish Forum at 1000 feet QNH. What's your callsign?" Unindentified aircraft: ......... (no answer) GGtower: "OSCAR OSCAR ALPHA HOTEL QUEBEC - a bogey at your ten o'clock same altitude." OO-AHQ: "bogey in sight. OSCAR HOTEL QUEBEC" GGtower: "can't you read its callsign?" OO-AHQ: "Negative" OSCAR HOTEL QUEBEC For sure OO-AHQ couldn't read any callsign as the bogey is a virtual aircraft with a virtual callsign intentionally crossing the GGforum CTR without clearance. What a lucky devil that BRAVO DELTA FOX-TROT ROMEO !!!

Wow, a severe addiction indeed, jumping from a plane to a flight simulator...
With a very private jargon, as appropriate.
I'm French too and here is my nickname on the pattern of yours, bravodeltafr:
alphalimafr
At what time are we due to land?

As far as I can see, Pimpanella is flying with Bravodeltafr and is wondering when the landing is expected. To know the answer, Pimpanella should ask the pilot to pass the flight plan on to her. To Pimpanella: I don't mean to be a nuisance but there is a mistake in your former post. The nickname Pimpanella starts with a P that is said PAPA in the international phonetic alphabet. As for your real name, I have to know it as you says in another thread of this forum that we were siblings in days gone by. The initials of your name would be ALPHA dELTA LIMA, aren't they? You're just being modest with dropping a particle. To the pilot of the plane: Would you land at my place, don't play the bold guy and mind this notam: A1553/15 From:01 AUG 15 06:00 Till:01 OCT 15 06:00 Text: MARSHALLING MANDATORY FOR ALL GENERAL AVIATION FLT Good flight, dude. Looking forward to meeting with you on the apron.

Hello !
To Pimpanella, it seems me you very well speak english, not as me...
Your nickname Alphalimafr is possible if your initials are A-L, and if you want you can add fr, suggesting you are french.
When you fly on a PC, you can land when you want (Often I land when a voice says "à table" for the third time !)
To AhQ , I see i'm not the alone flightsimmer, and I know many other simmers. are you french too ? And do you fly in the real life, or on your PC and the net, or the both ?
See you on the gymglish.com lessons !
