  • They can institute it if they would only have the "balls" to. If they did, they might actually see proficiency levels for the 63-week Category IV languages (Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Chinese) actually break the 3 level. Something that should be the standard for the program, mind you, as anything less simply isn't enough for responsible intelligence work. -An Honor Graduate from the '06 Japanese Program

  • However, two days is, by NO MEANS, anything to "brag about." It's a weekend; plain and simple. If a prospective linguist finds it to be "challenging" to stay in their target language for a mere two days...I'm sorry, but they shouldn't be there.

    Again, great concept, but not enough...not by a long shot.

    I'd like to see some real commitment to the full-immersion concept on the part of the DLI by making it the order-of-the-day for the last semester. It's the military, after all.

  • Wow, immersion for 2 full days straight?! Watch out! Seriously, full-immersion is a great idea and at the Defense Language Institute, in my humble opinion, there is no reason it should not be in effect from, at the latest, the beginning of the third semester.

    This whole "full-immersion" concept is nothing new, mind you. I would bet my DLI lapel pin that it has been adopted, along with the "Language Pledge," from Middleburry College's famous Summer Language Program.
