I heard something about the army helping learn languages but I've asked around my company and no one's heard shit about it so I was wondering if any of you know.

Not as an 11B
35M and 35P are language dependent MOS's and require you to maintain a 2/2 language score.
CMF18, 37F and 38B are language enhanced MOS's and you'll be taught a language and have to maintain a 1/1. You can go to DLI to learn another language but you'll have to maintain a 2/2 in the future.

MAJ Ken Landgren Thank you, I'm just about to hit 20 years, 10 as a Career Counselor, which is where I picked up most of what I've learned. I just remember how completely lost for answers I was even up until I was a SSG, and how much bad "knowledge" was passed down to me back then as well. Some of it resulted in missed opportunities, delayed promotion, and unnecessary hardship for my family. I just want to do my best to prevent that from happening to others

Yes, but only if your MOS requires and the position you hold requires it. Meaning, an MOS may be sent to DLI to learn a foreign language based on the MTOE for unit. For example: 35M (HUMINT Collector) may be sent to DLI to learn Arabic because his position will require Arabic as a HUMINT Collector. That same 35M may not be sent to any school to learn a new language.
