first, you must learn proper English. That is required by all airlines for pilots. Serious training for the big birds takes years and is expensive unless you let the military train you. A simple small single engine plane license is not all that bad. Most people can get it in about six months or less, depending on how often you can afford the plane rental. From the rudimentary VFR license (visual flight rules) you move to the IFR, (instrument flight rules) then perhaps to twin engines and then multi engines. Jets take even more qualifications. To fly the really big birds, you have to go to a school for a couple of years, then serve as a copilot for whatever that airline's requirements are, most I think are four years. Study math, there is a lot of that involved at the higher levels, and is used for computing routes, fuel and cargo loads, and many other things. There are also physical requirements. the higher the license, the more stringent they get. You should also have a working knowledge of electronics, hydraulics, and many other things when you get to the big birds. Unless you are wealthy, you probably cannot afford to get the training you need outside of the military. It can be done, but is really expensive by the time you get to the big birds.
