“No matter what mission we give our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines they are going to be in an environment with multiple cultures and multiple languages” – Gen. David Perkins, TRADOC

At any given time, some 2,500 service members attend foreign language courses at the Presidio of Monterey. Students are taught by more than 1,650 highly educated instructors, 95% of whom are native speakers of the languages they teach. Of this number 15% of the instructors hold a Ph.D.’s, 54% hold a master’s, and 28% hold bachelor’s degrees. About 66% of the students are under the age of 25. Roughly six percent of the population are officers, most often studying to become specialized Foreign Area Officers. In addition to teaching foreign languages in Monterey, DLIFLC has satellite campuses located at nearly two dozen sites around the nation and abroad.

DLIFLC is the Department of Defense’s premier school for culturally based foreign language education and training, with classroom instruction, mobile training teams, and online materials tailored for students at all levels of required proficiency or performance. The Institute is attended by all four branches of the military service and select individuals sponsored by their agencies.
