Michel.
Thanks very much for describing the communication policy for most of Europe. (shame about the French)
I remember when learning to fly I was always afraid to use the radio for fear of screwing something up during tower communication (mostly factual than fearing  .
Still today, there are times when I get tongue tied and can't seem to let it out correctly that I am arriving 8 miles from the north. Or I am banking to the left for a right downwind and I blurt out that I am entering a left downwind. And here I am an ex Brit speaking English, It is a good thing there is a press to talk button otherwise the entire airport traffic would cringe at my use of foul words describing how much of an idiot I am.
Then again, that is the thrill and secrecy of being up there by oneself !
You say: "some Norwegians use "Norglish" which is a mixture of the
two languages. E.g. "Lima, lima, tango, turning høyre nedvind (right
downwind) three sixty." or something like that".
Michel, sometimes my announcements sound very close to Norglish. Put it this way, even having puckered and coughed then pressed the dreadful button what comes forth from my Kitfox, aint proper English!!
With this in mind I will have to admire the tenacity of non British (Continentals ) European pilots with extra workload to consider when flying.
When up there alone, have you ever said out loud to yourself "bugger... how could I have said that." Have you ever laughed out loud to yourself!
What a hobby this is, brilliant!
All the best. Eric
