No problem with those who don't speak American. I teach American, Cracker, and Red Neck among other colloquial forms of speech. I can also give them the history of the American units whose boys died on Utah and Omaha Beach on D day. Those young men were fluent in American.

If you're willing to travel, I recommend the most famous US site -
Ridge Soaring in Julian, PA. Tom Knauff and Doris Grove have a great
reputation in the soaring community, and will set you safely on the
right course. And I can vouch from experience that you won't forget
any day get the chance to fly along the Appalachian ridges when the
wind is higher than 15 kt from 310!

For any ridge flying, google earth is a tremendous resource. Look up
the common routes, then "fly" them in the comfort of your lounge
chair. It helps enormously with orientation and gap-crossing when the
time comes to do it for real. You can even scout for fields.
