Army 35P language?

I recently enlisted in active duty in the 35P MOS and am wondering if I would get a chance to choose a preference in the language I can learn and if there was a slot open for one of the preferred languages, I'd be more likely to get it. Im aware that I will get what the army needs and am perfectly fine with that.

I qualified for the CAT IV languages and of those I would prefer Chinese and Korean due to post army business venture plans as well as travel.

If I won't get a chance to mention a preference, are these languages in high demand like the middle-eastern languages?

    You can try your luck but no you don't get to pick. Chinese is sort of in demand, Korean pretty rare. Arabic and other MEs are still way more likely than either.

    You should have known which language you were offered prior to you signing the paperwork. Go check it, because it should be listed there.

    Chinese is not an option at all. Mandarin or Cantonese however are.

    neither are any more likely to be offered than any other.
