Hi smoen. The Spanish one gets my vote (if SirNigel doesn't have it) as I know many people who are wanting to jump into the second section of the programmatic portion.

It's almost unanimous to "fill in" the incompleted courses. Therefore, this week I will order:
1) The Hungarian Reader (text) 2) Korean Basic Course Volume 1 (text and tapes) I'm confused about the availability of the Programmed Spanish Volume 2 texts, so I'll leave that for another forum member. I will be ordering the above listed text and tapes on Thursday or Friday this week, so, if you know that these materials are available elsewhere, PLEASE let me know so I don't buy duplicate material. I will also need a volunteer to scan the texts (I'll do the tapes) No promises as to time frame until completion. I'll do what I can, when I can. SMoen |

I think you can save yourself about $40 if you get the book here for $20: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=109553500&searchurl=an%3Dforeign%2Bservice%2Binstitute%26y%3D7%26bsi%3D120%26x%3D60%26sortby%3D1 And just the tapes from NTIS ($185 instead of $245 for tapes + text) |

SMoen, I'd be interested in scanning the Korean Basic I text if you need someone to do it. Does anyone have an estimate of how long this would take or how many pages are in the book? I have access to a scanner and should have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional soon. I'm not sure how people typically send the books around, but if it makes things easier I could just buy the book myself (since it's only $20) and then upload the PDF file(s) to the site.

I e-mailed the link above from onebir, and they indicated to me that it is, indeed, the original FSI version.
Yes, it would be easer if you were to order it, and then scan it. It would save a few days in the mail, in any case. If you decide to do this, and the book turns out to be of poor quality or, in fact, a copyrighted book, let me know and I'll include the book in my order with NTIS. Let me know if you are going to purchase it. If not, PM me your address, and I'll order the text and mail it to you. Smoen |

I ordered Korean Basic I from the link. I'll check it when it arrives for quality and copyrights and then start scanning if everything is OK.

I just checked our State Library and it's catalogue has been updated.. They have a few FSI courses listed, including Hungarian Reader; I will check it out tonight or tomorrow and see if it is actually in the library and the prospects of me scanning it - the library is a reference library only (no loans). If the courses in the catalogue actually exist, are original, and I can scan the texts with little hassle from staff then I theoretically now have access to a lot of 'exotics' (Yoruba, Hausa, Twi, More, Luganda, Lingala, Lao, Kituba, Kirundi, Indonesian Reader, Igbo, Fula, and Chinyanja). Unfortunately, I don't think that I'll be able to digitise any audio if it's also available unless I can book a private room at the library.
Anyway smoen - Will let you know ASAP about the Hungarian Reader.

I would be really happy to see Serbo-Croatian online and the Texts for Finnish

Ok, so forget what I said above.. *argh*
In short, no Hungarian Reader from me :(
The material I saw is indeed, original material. But I have no realistic way of getting it. I can't borrow the material, I can't get access to a private room there to use a scanner... I can't take a scanner into the library, hah. Photocopying works out more expensive than the actual book.
