Other FSI course tapes all begin with a brief introduction and then announce the end of the tape when finished.

None of the Cantonese tapes announce the ending. Did the original tapes have an announcement that was cut when the tape was transferred to mp3?

I ask because I have found another "complete" FSI course that had possible problems when they were uploaded and the end portions of the mp3 never made it--or a mistake was made earlier.

The announcement of the end is important because it lets you know you have the entire recording and not just a portion--short of working through the entire course page by page.

So my question was whether or not the Cantonese FSI was simply done differently than all the rest.

Thanks.

I think I did the first 15 or so, and they were complete.

Hello,
 
I have the "Rapid Cantonese" version of the FSI.
They announce the beginning, but not the end. Just the last dialogue finishes, and that's it.
 
Funny thing is, when I try to burn the lesson on cd, for listening in the car, the dialogues are always cut off, and the lesson ends a minute or so early.
