 I really want to learn Mongolian.  Does anyone have the FSI Mongolian course?  Are there any other people interested in learning Mongolian?

Mogscout, I'm pretty sure that the course you referenced is not really by FSI, but rather the one produced a number of years ago (1968) by the late John Hangin and his colleagues at Indiana University, based on the number of pages and the number of lessons.  If you should want to order it, it's available for a lot less from the Mongolia Society, as seen in their publication list:

http://www.mongoliasociety.org/?q=section/200706225.htm

(It's a bit more than halfway down the page, as "Basic Course in Mongolian".)

Also, if you go to the ERIC site at

http://www.eric.ed.gov/

and search for "Mongolian", you can find some free PDFs of Mongolian study materials produced by the Peace Corps (but no audio).

I think that this is what Daristani was referring to in his last paragraph.  It was put out for the Peace Corps, and there are obviously no tapes available, but it's free and in the public domain, and it's not even very old (1993).
