I'm not SF, but I was a Korean Linguist for 8 years.
Language school can be fun, but language school isn't easy.
My class started with 33 students and 16 finished. Of those 16 who finished, 5 of us got a 2/2/2 on our DLPT coming out of DLI.
That isn't meant to be discouraging. There is just a lot to juggle. 7 hrs in the class room, anywhere from 2-6 hrs of homework a night... even on the light days you are trying to choke down 25+ vocab words per day. Got to get in PT, try to stay above just a maintenance level. Got all the other mandatory Army stuff too...
The patented GackMan system was to study like a hermit for the first 4 months. Eat, sleep, study, PT, repeat. After 4 months I started to relax but by then I had a solid foundation and system in place to succeed.
Tell your son to hit the books and not get fat
Best of luck to your son!
