I agree. It demonstrates respect in that you are not expecting civilians to learn your language, but will make the effort to understand more about their language and therefore their culture and experiences. I think it implies you realise that your first language is not superior to anyone else's first language and that you will value what they have to say.mutumafrank wrote: ↑19 May 2022, 02:46 I think learning a language is absolutely important in not only understanding the civilians but also creating a good rapport with them. This shows them you're allies and not there as a conqueror. I don't think understanding and relating with civilians would weaken a soldier.

Being attached to the locals due to increase in communication may or may not be an issue, based on the degree of attachment.
