Don't forget the inimitable "Ishkadish kadee kadish kadoo vurt vurt!"
Tak der dernurts, flippen flappen und bouncy in der ar, then BLAMMER
, und yo is havink der ring dernut.

Jesse, in answer to your questions, yes and yes.
Y Tp has already been mentioned. There are also places on courses at DSL (Defence School of Langauges at Beaconsfield) - they have 4 wings; English (for non-swimmers), Arabic, Western European Languages (French, Spanish, German etc) and Slavonic Languages (Russian, Polish and Serbo Croat).
Most courses are colloquial - 4 to 6 months (all ranks). If you have a language track record you may be able to pull a Diploma course (18 months ish) to degree level.
I was a Rubber Dagger (many moons ago) and have met a fair few Royals there (Offr & OR) over the last few years.
There are a few other locations where you can pick up a language - foreign schools, on exchange and a couple of other places in the UK.

Ikke dårlig dere !
A Bootneck can always get by - however -
Geordie/Bootneck - Bootneck/Geordie dictionary and a bit of Norwegian
are a saving grace.....
Jesse - Drop the Spanish, French and German - you'll soon pick those languages up if you have to occupy the places again.....
I've lived here for thirty seven years and they're now picking up a bit of
Geordie palaver.... they're really quite clever.
Especially Bent and Randi...
'Aye

I'd love to learn a new language... but I dunno which one I'd do.

When I went out to the Oman they sent me on an Arabic course. I failed but the instuctor said that I had worked very hard and my English had improved 100%

I have an image of the instructor asking Yorkie to translate, "Reeet lads, git fell in, yon lanky streek kin be t'reet marker. Naar thin, lisn oop and dinna be yappin."
I remain Sirs your obedient etc etc..........
