Any chance of anyone getting their hands on these? Farsi is an interesting language. My friend from college was billingual (parents are Iranian) and I learned a little from him and its a nice sounding language.
Bulgarian on the other hand, trust me on this one fellas when I say the nationality/ethnicity with some of the most beautiful women is bulgaria. At my school there were a large number of international student from bulgarian, and the majority of them were really breathtaking. If only I had known Bulgarian year or two ago!

I have Bulgarian, both volumes. First comes with CDs and the second with tapes. I do not have a scanner available. Will take some time to find one and scan.

That's great! The only proviso is that the books have to be original ones, from NTIS or its predecessor. They shouldn't have copyright notices or names of other publishers (eg audioforum, multilingual books etc) If you can't track down a scanner, an alternative could be to lend the books (or one of the books) to a fellow forum member who does... For tapes I think people usually use Audacity, free from: audacity.sourceforge.net/ The only tricky part to using it is that to make MP3s you need to download an encoder (LAME) also free, from here: lame.sourceforge.net/ Edited by onebir - 28 December 2006 at 4:31pm |

The books are origional ones. Put the CDs in mp3 format is pretty easy, for the tapes I would use help. I am so happy I found this site. I am glad to share, I just have to work on getting my material ready for this site.

It's really kind of you to offer to do it, too.
Audacity is free and if you can install a program on your PC (& have a sound card) then you should be able to use it without any trouble. You could always do the audio while you're searching for a scanner - that way, even if you can't find one, someone else who just has the books might be able to scan them to complete the set. (The books are much easier to find & cheaper secondhand than the tapes) |

Send a PM to gdfellows letting him know of your interest in case he misses this post on the forum.
Hmmm... As far as I can tell, NTIS doesn't sell the audio for any of the FSI Basic Courses on CD (only some of the new courses come with CD-ROMs) , nor have I seen CDs for FSI Basic Courses for anything other than FSI courses from resellers such as Audio-Forum, Multilingual Books, foreignserviceinstitute.com among others.
Reseller's FSI courses have a murky copyright status in spite of their near-identity to the original FSI stuff which is public domain. To play it safe, all of the stuff that's posted here hasn't passed through the hands of private companies who have tweaked the original material and imposed copyright on the modified versions.
I'm curious, where did you get all of the Bulgarian materials? Your mentioning of having CDs for one part, but tapes for the second seems unusual. Edited by Chung - 28 December 2006 at 6:04pm |

To avoid any confusion, I've always included scanned images of a couple of the tapes for every audio I've submitted. I wanted to make sure GDF had some sort of "proof of origin".
