I study Czech in 10th's language training, which was pretty good. But not as good as the year+ I spent out at DLI. We had 2 instructors per student. Then as soon as I returned to Devens, went over to Prague for 7 months working in the military laison team. Complete immersion is the way to go.
In college, my wife took Spanish for a couple of semesters; now, she is lucky to understand the menu at a local Mexican resturant here in San Antonio.
