I just found this site and am very excited about it! I used volumes I and II of these German courses years ago to pass the German CLEP test and no longer have the original books or tapes. It's nice to have them available again as a refresher. I'm trying out the Greek lessons in preparation for a month long trip there this fall. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all who have contributed!
I don't have anything to offer in the way of courses, but I do have a recording studio and a lot of knowledge about recording and treating audio. I'd be happy to assist with recommendations, advice, or even transfers if anybody has the raw materials but no means to convert them to mp3.
Regards,
Bill

Glad you enjoyed the resources.
How far did FSI German take you towards the German CLEP test? |

I completed volume I and made it about 1/4 of the way through volume II before taking the actual test. I don't remember the exact results, but I was among the top rankings. I wasn't a beginner though...about 10 years before the FSI courses I went through that old Berlitz course (from the 50s I believe).
Funny quote about the Athens hotel. I'm spending part of my honeymoon there in October.

would like to join in with the thanks - especially as there are many opportunists who try to charge large sums for this public domain material. a great resource for serious students. I used german 1 and 2 with some success. I arrived in germany 2 years ago after 3 months with the courses and although I didnīt just jump in and speak "like a native" it was a fantastic preparation. Above all, grammatical issues are not problematic, as the drills hammer questions of der die das or dem des etc deep into the subconscious. this gives quite a degree of proficiency that most foreigners take years to master. good luck - must add though that this is not a magic pill - like an exercise gadget, it must be used intensively to bring results. with the work I cannot think of a better method, howeber. friendly greetings to you all
