The US foreign service classifies Russian language as a category 4 difficulty for English speakers on a scale of 5
Weird, the DoD had it as a 3/5 along with Farsi and Korean (North); Pashto, Arabic, and Chinese were 4s, Tagalog was a 2, and the Romance languages were 1s. I dont' think I even saw a 5, so perhaps they're using a different scale entirely, or they re-scaled things at some point.

The DoD must be saving 5 for the extraterrestrial languages.
