Where does the U.S Military learn foreign languages such as: Aramaic, Nahuatl, Otomi, Siamese, Urdu, etc?

Question

or Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, German, Portuguese, Cantonese or Mandarin. ?

Answer 1

Probably the U.S. Defense Language Institute (DLI), formerly the US Army Language School, at the Presidio of Monterey.

Answer 2

Personally i feel its integral considering that the United States is falling in the back of on its schooling and the international locations that due surpass America begin instructing a moment language as quickly as first grade and a 3rd round 5th. The academic requirements within the United States are low and so i feel now not most effective must scholars be studying a moment language in basic university however the requirements bar must be raised so much better and a fine deal extra be demanded from the scholars, all scholars.

Answer 3

The high-density languages (Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, German (although I don't think it is currently offered to enlisted soldiers) are taught at the DLI in Monterey. The lower density and lower priority languages are taught at DLI east (I don't know exactly where that is located, but I think it is in the D.C. area). There is also a DLI in TX to train non-native English speakers to speak English.

Answer 4

Either the United Nations or CIA? Just joking.
In order to work for the CIA, you must be fluent in at least 3 languages. Real answer: I don't know.

Answer 5

Same as any other army. (I'm in the Irish army) Language teachers.

Oh you asked where? Don't know about the U.S army, but we learn languages at a place called The Curragh in Co Kildare.

Answer 6
