Hello.
My dad and I have a few FSI language courses that we use for homeschool. For example, we have the complete Luganda, which appears to be missing the text on this website. We will scan and donate the Luganda text if someone here will tell us how it's done. We have a scanner and access to Adobe Acrobat 8.0, but we need specific settings for scanning to PDF to achieve minimal file size while maintaining good quality.
We also have the FSI Japanese course. We're aware that the text is copyrighted, but the audio appears to be public domain. We have all of the audio tapes except tape number 2. If somebody could supply tape number 2 or tell us where we can get it, we can digitize the audio program and donate it also. Anyone who wishes to use the Japanese audio program can simply purchase the accompanying text on Amazon.
Is anybody interested in working with us on this? Edited by Starlancer - 25 December 2007 at 12:25am |

I'm very interested in the FSI Luganda as my wife and I are doctors, to be working out in Uganda as of August. I'm no expert with Adobe Acrobat, but there's a chap who has posted on the "Member Contributions" discussion board who states an ability to scan documents for what I assume is PDF.. I'm very keen to get hold of this text, however, is it copyrighted? Kind regardsToby

Hello Starlancer.
Did you ever manage to get hold of the missing Japanese tapes?
If you take a look at the FSI Japanese topic thread under General Discussion, you will see that the files for spoken Japanese are freely available from the university of Ohio.
Downloading all these files from Ohio State is very time consuming and the quality of lessons 13 onwards is, apparantly, not perfect.
I would be very interested in your digitized copy of the complete files.
Cheers,
Tom Edited by tomhogers - 05 April 2008 at 7:11am |

Re Luganda, there's a large Luganda-English dictionary you can download for free at the following URL:
http://www.dunwoodypress.com/_Classic+Reference+Works.html (There's also a Swahili-English dictionary available on the same site.) |
