Anyone know how difficult it is to get into this program, for someone who wants to learn languages like arabic and farsi/persian it sounds awesome to me. Any other details from someone who went would be great

Sounds like a program that was going on a long time ago with Russian during the cold war.

Take an hour and try to speak a little Arabic, I dare you. Then you will see if it is even worth doing.

The program looks like a great opportunity, but there doesn't seem to be any information for 2009-2010 applicants. Has it simply not been updated yet, or has the program been dropped?

It is actually being expanded, I wondered if anyone tried it before.
