Thanks for your contributions.  I saw the Yoruba intermeditae but the basic course audio was never pasted on the site.  Do you have that and can you provide a download link?  Any other courses you may have links to will be appreciated as well as they are not seeming to get posted on the site.


thanks

I don't have the Yoruba Basic Course audio, but a quick search via http://www.worldcat.org/ reveals that the government produced tapes (as opposed to Audio-Forum) are available at several universities and the following public libraries:

     Los Angeles Public Library
     Milwaukee County Federated Library System
     Buffalo & Erie County Public Library

Because copyright of pre-1972 audio is based on state and not federal law, I believe only government published sources can be safely used. I always keep a picture copy of the tapes as evidence of their source.

I have government published audio for Korean Vol 1 and German Programmed Introduction. Don't ask me when they will be posted.

I have the government published text and audio for the following DLI Headstart courses as well as proof that these specific DLI courses are in the US public domain:

     Italian, French for Belgium, German, and Latin American Spanish

The site owner, gdfellows,  stated a while back in a post that DLI material will not be put on this site. I will honor that. When I've completed the material (no time soon) I'll send a PM to onebir. He mentioned on the how-to-learn-any-language site that he would take care of DLI material.

Could anyone reupload 1.German Programmed Intoduction Audio and 2. Korean Basic Vol1 Audio.zip?
Zshare doesn't work, ifile or mediafire would be great.

I didn't realize how annoying and non user friendly Zshare is.  I'm splitting them into smaller hunks and moving to mediafire.  Check back in a few hours...

Edit - New links created. See the first post in this topic.

Note:
I'm posting the files in this manner and not on the main download page is because my administrative powers are limited to only monitoring the forums.  I haven't heard anything from the site owner, gdfellows, since April.

All audio files are all encoded at 48kbits ABR (50% higher than the 32Kbit CBR on the site's main download page).  I'm using The Lame encoder version 3.98 with the following command line options "--abr 48 -mm --resample 22.05 -q 0".

Edit - I also added Fula Basic and Contemporary Cambodian: Introduction. Note that Contemporary Cambodian: Political Institutions and Contemporary Cambodian: The Land and the Economy are available as PDFs from http://www.eric.ed.gov/

Thanks for the new files, DemiPuppet: this is another great contribution. I am particularly delighted to get the Contemporary Cambodian doc. While I have worked through Huffman's program and am finishing FSI, I am keen to locate other material for this language.
 
Can I pick your brain on this one? I understand that there were some audios for the Contemporary Cambodian series, but have been unable to locate copies in any library in my country (Australia), and have not even seen reference to these in discussion forums. Have you happened to spot audios for this material available anywhere, either for purchase or public domain?

Zonker, I don't know about audio for Contemporary Cambodian, but Dunwoody Publications, in the US, produces some materials for Cambodian, with audio.  Their Cambodian page is here:  http://www.dunwoodypress.com/search.php?tpl=17&catid=7&searchname=cambodian&submit.x=3&submit.y=20&submit=GO
