They seem to teach it pretty fast to any idiot in the French Foreign Legion from what little I know. I have a feeling people learn fast with the 'right' incentives.

90% of recruits fail, so I wouldn't say they've got some awesome fool proof method.

What % fail due to lack of language skills? Or did you really mean 90%. Source?

They also actively teach it to them. They are immersed around the clock, using other languages is forbidden (recalcitrant recruits used to get hazed in the past), and they put in efforts to teach it in a practical and conversational way.
