I am proud of having attained the MLI Master Instructor Badge on 16 Mar 06 having met such stringent requirements that no other Korean linguist MLI has been able to achieve this milestone in the past 10-years, "exceptional language abilities documented on the Defense Language Proficiency test (3/3 on the DLPT) and on the Oral Proficiency Interview (3 on the OPI), more than 500 hours of classroom instruction, and continued progress towards civilian education."
