FOREIGN PLT MISINTERPS TAXI; HOLD SHORT CLRNC. DEPARTS WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative

MISCOM. I REQUESTED ORANGE DEP (330 DEG HDG) AFTER DEP AND I HEARD THE INDICATION TAXI TURN HOTEL AT THE END OF 19R BUT NEXT INDICATION WAS POS AND HOLD. I UNDERSTOOD THAT AFTER DEP TURN R AT HOTEL (THIS MEANING WAS A QUICK R TURN OVER HOTEL) IMMEDIATELY AND I DEPARTED AND TURNED AT HOTEL AND ASSUMED THE TWR WAS ALLOWING ME TO AVOID WAKE TURB FROM A JET ARR. AFTER THE DEP SWITCHED TO JOHN WAYNE ADVISORIES AND RECEIVED NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM ON DEP AND CONTINUED ENRTE TO CORONA THEN RETURNED WITH STILL NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM EARLIER. I RECEIVED THE TROUBLING NEWS FROM AN INSTRUCTOR WHERE I FLY OUT OF AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY DEP. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS -- NEED TO CONFIRM COM WITH INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED FROM THE TWR OR THE CTLING AGENCY I AM COMMUNICATING WITH. I REALIZE THAT I CANNOT INTERPRET WHAT MY INSTRUCTIONS ARE; BUT I NEED TO COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THEM AND CONFIRM THEM AT ALL TIMES. I FURTHER PLAN TO SPEND TIME WITH AN INSTRUCTOR TO IMPROVE ON MY COM SKILLS FOR FUTURE FLYING.
