As part of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), the Institute provides resident instruction at the Presidio of Monterey in about two dozen  languages, five days a week, seven hours per day, with two to three hours of homework each night. Courses last between 26 and 64 weeks, depending on the difficulty of the language. DLIFLC students are taught by more than 2,000 highly educated instructors, 98 percent of whom are native speakers of the languages they teach.DLIFLC is a multi-service school for active and reserve components, foreign military students, and civilian personnel working in the federal government and various law enforcement agencies. The present facilities at the Presidio of Monterey accommodate approximately 3,500 Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen, as well as select Department of Defense (DoD) members and the U.S. Coast Guard. To attend DLIFLC one must be a member of the Armed Forces or be sponsored by a government agency.These courses are similar to those produced by the Foreign Service Institute however they are more military focused.Included are the Basic and Refresher Cantonese courses, with the audio being roughly 68 hours in length.
