Hi,
The only course I can think of for mongolian that sounds like an FSI course is the following (I dont have any experience with it):
Mongolian Language Audio Cassette Course
This is an introductory course in the Khalka dialect of Mongolian, spoken in the Mongolian People's Republic (traditionally known as Outer Mongolia). The course, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet, consists of 24 units containing basic sentences, notes on pronunciation and grammar, short narrative material, drills, and exercises. Includes 9 audio cassette tapes (6 hrs.) and a 208-page text. Many of the big online language stores sell it. Its around $300 though.
Regards.

The course mentioned above is the "Basic Course in Mongolian", produced a number of years ago by the late Professor John Hangin (himself a Mongolian) of Indiana University. It is available for much cheaper (less than a third the price cited above) from the Mongolia Society, which is headquartered at Indiana. See their website at
http://www.indiana.edu/~mongsoc/ for this and a variety of other materials for Mongolian. (I have seen some comments somewhere that Hangin's course is not fully representative of the Khalkha Mongolian dialect spoken officially in today's Mongolia, but rather shows traces of his own Inner Mongolian origins. I don't know enough about Mongolian myself to judge whether this would be a problem or not.) If you go to the ERIC site at http://www.eric.ed.gov/ and search under "Mongolian", you can find several Mongolian language items (in PDF format) produced for Peace Corps volunteers in Mongolia. (These don't have any audio, however.) |
