Hey everyone, registration for fall classes are coming up and I have to take a foreign language class. I know SFAS is a long way away, but I was thinking about language requirements in SF and am wondering if I could get some input about which language to study, since I have to anyway. I have been doing a lot of research about this the past few days but I'm still not sure how language selection works during the Q course. I want to be in the 5th Special Forces Group if possible, so it would probably be helpful to start learning one of those languages. I think Arabic is offered here but apparently it's one of the most difficult languages for an English speaker to learn, due to the fact that they actually have some sounds that we don't, and therefore even have slightly different muscle development in the jaw. (or so I've read.) So, I noticed that French is also a language of the 5th. Could I learn French and still be assigned to the 5th? Do you have any say in what language you are assigned and what group you go to? Or is it just solely based on the needs of SF in general?

I assume the language training is very good regardless of past training, I just figured killing two birds with one stone wouldn't hurt. Thanks for any input!
