Hi, I am studying Turkish so I am happy with what is available here for this language. However, I would like to contribute, and I am at a university with many FSI texts available in the library. I emailed gdfellows about which would be on the top of his list, but I think he was too busy with stuff going on on this site to respond. So, I'll ask the question to you all.
If you go to http://sunsite5.berkeley.edu:8000/
and type in Foreign Service Institute in the author-organization search field, you'll see what I have to choose from. Unfortunatly you have to sift through a lot of other FSI publications which aren't language texts. But believe me, there's plenty in there that would be great to add to this site.
Please post here what you would like to see. I tend to think the more unusual languages would be more worth the effort, because there are so many other materials available for more commonly taught languages. Then again, materials for more common languages might get the most use because more people are interested in learning them.
Take a look and let me know.
-andrea

Oh, by the way, I think the only one I have access to that has the audio with it is the Cambodian. I'll have to double check though.

If you want some 'quick kills' and favour the exotic you do worse than:
- digitize the tapes for for cambodian (since the books online)... - and the book for amharic (since the audio's available at http://languagelab.bh.indiana.edu/amharic_a400.html in it's entirety, i believe) Two courses for the work of one ;-) |

I keep thinking that Demipuppet has access to the Cambodian audio and will get to that once he finishes Hebrew and straightens things out with SoTxBPA who mentioned in another post that he had the text Cambodian Basic vol. 1. |

I've finished digitizing the audio for Hebrew, Cambodian 1, and Swahili. I'll probably be sending them in before the end of the week. I want to finish up the Hebrew text first.

have to sift through a lot of other FSI publications which aren't

So I think I'll do the Amharic then. Sounds like it would be pretty useful since we have the audio. I won't be able to start until after finals though.

You would make me very happy if you can digitize this one:

Hungarian is proving to be a popular addition to a lot of people's wishlists of late - including mine :D

But you lose some titles if you do that, such as Afghan Persian and Burmese. And there are a number of titles that I saw in your library that I haven't seen available anywhere else, including Afghan Persian, Burmese, Hindi (both a Basic and an Active Introduction) and the Russian Active Introduction. I'd suggest doing one of those, because even the NTIS doesn't make them available, and who knows when they will pop up again. Edited by raincrowlee - 06 December 2006 at 3:38pm |
