sorcieus, since you have experience teaching the language, it'd be great if you could explain somewhere what materials you'd recommend to someone trying to self-study indonesian (splitting up the recommendations into levels, and indicating which materials are freely available on-line)

Probably best to do this in a new thread tho! :)

Thanks!
 
I will second that.
 
Greek tapes are incomplete. Please share them if you have them.

Most of the FSI text materials are now available at ERIC.  See the bottom of this post:

Firstly, thank you to everyone for making these wonderful resources available!

DemiPuppet, could an alternative dowload be provided for the Metropolitan French Audio zip file? I can't get it--once the countdown is finished and I click the button, nothing happens. I have tried in three browsers and two different operating systems, but still no luck.

Thanks

If anyone knows how I can get Lingala, I was would grateful.  I've been studying the book without the audio, but I can't master it without the tapes.  Thanks.

The only place I know is at the Indiana University Language Lab. It appears to be a reel-to-reel tape. Looks like they would let you make a copy.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Small chance I'll ever be in the area though. Unhappy

Thought I'd mention that ERIC has made pdfs available for many of the Spoken Language Series manuals:
Spoken Turkish,  Book One and Book Two
Spoken Thai, Books One and Two
Spoken Serbo-Croatian, Book One and Book Two
Spoken Russian, Book One and Book Two
Spoken Malay, Book One and Book Two
Spoken Korean, Book One
Spoken Japanese, Book One
Spoken Iraqi Arabic, Book One
Spoken Hungarian, Books One and Two
Spoken Hindustani, Book One
Spoken Greek, Book One and Book Two
Spoken German
Spoken Finnish, Books One and Two
Spoken East Armenian
Spoken Dutch
Spoken Danish, Book One and Book Two
Spoken Chinese, Books One and Two
Spoken Burmese, Book One and Book Two

They have also put up a number of older DLI courses recently, e.g., Burmese Basic and Korean Basic.

I did a quick check of the copyright renewal records. It appears that most if not all of the "Spoken" texts listed are still under copyright.  The ERIC people must be aware of that, but one may want to download the texts sooner rather than later...

The renewal records can be looked up here:
