In Portuguese Volume 1 Unit 14 Lessons 16-25, there is a break in the tape.  It goes from Portuguese to some other language.  Maybe a middle eastern language.  I believe it starts around lesson 17 and continues until the last 5 or six exercises of lesson 25.
 
Please notify when the correction is made.
 
On a positive note.  I really appreciate the existence of this free language course.  I expect to complete volume 1 this month and hopefully volume 2 next month.
 
I am just finishing Unit 14 and i believe the Translation is incorrect.  it has 26 exercises but they do not match the audio.

That's not another language-- somehow, the audio has been reversed. But it's easy to correct in a sound editor like Audacity.

Thanks for the reply.  You definitely got my attetion.  I have never used a sound editor.  I do google it and go to its website.  http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/features

Am I a brand new member allowed to alter content for FSI?  Especially, with no experience in auditing any sound.  Hey, I am always open to learning something new.  Can you point me to the specific feature in Audacity.  I guess if I have Audacity, then I should be audacious.

When you open the file in Audacity, you'll see a waveform. Click and drag in that to select the bad part of the file, then choose Reverse from the Effect menu. Done!

If you don't have it already, you may need to install the Lame mp3 encoder to be able to save mp3s in Audacity:

Good luck!

Just a note that you can now find a corrected version of the file on the alternate site.

Thanks for the tip, wickham.  I'm new to Audacity as well.
