I took Russian at DLI -- 47 week course and 29 years later, working in Russia, no one can believe I studied it for such a short time. I have not met any non-native Russian who took the language in college to come close in fluency or speed to the DLI program. It is as stated by others on this string, as full immersion as I have seen even compared to programs "in country." They have more time off and less focus on studying for daily exams.
