First of all, thank you all so much who have done the work to post these courses. I have only dreamed of having a resource like this available. I never thought there would actually be one.
I have Barron's Mastering Spanish level I and I am almost finished with it. I would like to get started on FSI Basic Spanish II (without having to buy Barron's II) however it has not yet been posted. Does anyone know the status of uploading the rest of the Basic Courses? I do not want to rush anyone, I just wanted to know if it is worth waiting for or if I should go ahead and buy Barron's. I am aware of Loquella, which is great, but it is not for me all the time because I cannot always use the computer to study. Thanks again for everything.
Barron's doesn't even make level III and IV do they? Someone posted that they did, but I have never been able to find them.

I am wondering too about the Basic Spanish 1.
There is no text, just audio, for part one and no audio (just text) for part two.
I was just about to buy the Barron's set and discovered this site.

I am wondering about the text for Basic Spanish 1. I have downloaded it and tried opening it, but the original was either damaged or (who knows what!) it would not open. Help. What is wrong?

If you haven't already gotten the text you can get it here for the time being. It is volume one's student text that I downloaded from this site a couple months ago and it opens in Acrobat Reader for me without any problems.

Edit: A better source for downloading the 'Basic Spanish - Volume One - Student's text' is here (The above Rapidshare site has problems sometimes):

I guess it would be better if both the text and audio are available for everyone's advantage. Just imagine if you can hear but you're blind or you can see but you're deaf. That's how simply hard it is!

The site sent in reply to my search for Basic Spanish was this. It sends you to a site where you can either buy (and I don't have PayPal) or have one free download. I chose the latter, and it appears to have worked. A HUGE thank you to one of the members! Here is the site.

Note: Rapidshare allows unlimited free downloads; it's just that, as a non-paying user, there's a waiting period of an hour or so before the next download.
As for the Basic Spanish course, the effort to put the entire course up on this site seems to have stalled, but you can find the entire course (to use on-line for free) at
