What are the hardest languages? I would assume the Arabic and Persian dialects?

SFC (Join to see) generally, the harder courses are Modern Standard Arabic, Chinese and Korean. The languages are difficult, and the instructors can make the immersion an interesting process.

Persian Farsi is like the JV of Arabic. There are other Arabic dialect courses that are difficult, like Iraqi, Egyptian or Levantine. Also it’s important to note that ‘hard’ is very subjective at DLI. What some students get, others don’t. What some struggle with, others don’t. Some think the Spanish course is impossibly hard. Etc.

Overall, it’s a difficult school that has driven folks crazy for years.

I know that at one point EOD has a 1/3rd drop rate and it's a Joint service school.

Pathfinder, Jump Master, Joint Fire Power Course. I know all of those have fairly high fail rates.
