Get paid to learn a language

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know what organisations such as the military and the foreign and commonwealth office will pay for you to do long, intensive language courses. For both of these organisations you need to complete the MLAT and get a good score on it - although you can definitely study for it.

Google 'foreign language intelligence analysts', also 'military pay for language' and 'diplomatic service languages'.

Many people born in the UK to parents born in the UK could learn English to start with, surely?

So this is for people already employed by those organisations?

For the military it is. For things like MI5 and GCHQ they have roles called intelligence analyst where they pay for your languages degree (or sth to that effect). Not sure about the foreign office. Their recruitment pages should have more detailed pages.
