I really think Host nation immersion is key to really understanding language, with 3rd Group doing the language swap still it makes it very difficult to do that. I was lucky and my new language required a LET nothing like living it 24/7 with a host family. Cant see group footing the bill for every team guy going on a 6 week LET.
I recently was able to take a Russian Slang class at NCS and it was great training, currently looking at Middlebury for some advance language training
