>>11565391 is pretty much right on this, these are the categories used by the American Department of Defense to classify language learners and ascertain their length of stay at school; cat ones stay for half a year, while cat fours stay a full year and a half.

> cat I: germanic and romance languages which have many words and grammatical structures in common w/ english
> cat II: german has its own autistic constructs which make it a bit harder to learn
> cat III: slavic languages and non-euro languages with a ton of west european commonalities
> cat iv: non-european language with strong native language structures of their own

Despite all I say about being a military """"linguist"""", remember that this is not what you'll do in that job, you're a glorified translator. Many smaller universities have an English department which houses their department, or larger unis have devoted departments. Most of the time though, these classes are pursued as a part of something more practical. Hell, I'd keep going with theology or religious studies; some of them probably require Greek/Roman credits to interpret texts, and I bet there are some good classics departments you can ask around. For Greek and Roman practice, I'd recommend the Perseus Digital Library (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/collection?collection=Perseus:collection:Greco-Roman))

> not mutted up with loanwords

Though I will concede Ataturk did his part to change it, got some bad news for you lad. Turkish does have soul though, their psych rock is actually pretty fucking righteous

Go get spoonfed on a forum, it's really not that hard. Those are the subjects. Do you really think they let lower enlisted monkeys like me look around the nuts and bolts of their technology? Those are the subjects I could muster as important.
