Someone to teach me Italian

Re:Someone to teach me Italian
Have you spoken to your Navy recuiter? There is no way to beat the language training you'll get once you get in. Six months, total immersion; you'll be speaking German or Italian 24/7. I had a number of friends when I was in the Air Force who had been through the Defense Language Institute, and these people were fluent. When I was taking Chinese, I went up against DLI students in the annual speech competition, and there just wasn't any touching them.
Of course, the down side is, The Navy will tell you what language they want you to learn. Even if you go in speaking solid German, they may decide that what they want you to know is, who knows, Korean or Arabic. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if it isn't what you want to learn to speak, it isn't what you want to learn to speak.
Good luck!

Re:Re:Someone to teach me Italian
Yeah, I've talked to someone through the Navy website. They told me that I'd probably not get German and Italian, but he said it would be nice to know them anyways, just in case. Besides, I love those two langauges. Yeah, he said to me that they would teach me to be fluent in any langauge in about six months, which I hope I can do, because it seems like I short time to learn a langauge!
Anyways, thanks for the reply!
