In reading through the posts in "What's New", I have determined that the following are the modules/texts for Standard Chinese that are not available (from anyone) for digitization/scanning and putting on this site. Module 07 - Society Optional Modules - 1) Marriage, Birth and Death, 2) Personal Welfare, and 3) Texts only for remaining optional modules Car, Telephone, Post Office, etc. (edited: Just noticed that one of the forum members has the Personal Welfare Module.) I am willing to provide funds necessary to order the remaining modules/texts from NTIS. However, I will wait a few days, cuz if these ARE available to be placed on this site, I don't want to spend money unecessarily. If you know these to be, in fact, available, please let me know. If there are others that are unavailable, let me know. Thanks so much for providing this site and for all the work that is being done. I was just about to order the complete set of Standard Chinese from NTIS when I came across this site. Now, I can get the complete course for the cost of a module or 2, and I don't have to digitize them myself. SteveM Edited by smoen - 08 August 2006 at 7:03pm |

Hello, and welcome to the forum! Several forum members have loaned me materials to complete the course. Member dhd1 has purchased Module 7 as well as the remaining optional modules from NTIS. I also have course materials from KayElleEm. I am in the process of reviewing these materials to ensure there are no copyright issues. Let me evaluate what I've got that I can use without violating copyrights and determine what is still needed. Thanks for offering to contribute to the website! |

If you find that you have all the materials for Standard Chinese, my willingness to donate extends to any language that you would like to have posted. Just let me know SteveM |

First, I want to express my thanks for the work that was done to make this course available. I went through several levels of the Russian course many years ago, had the literally hundreds of tapes and tens of books, and can't even imagine the work it must have taken to scan and digitize all this stuff. Thank You! Now on to my question: Does anyone have the link/contact info to acquire the materials from DLI or FSI? I'm wondering whether I might be able to do something to produce a more computer friendly version of the texts (if it's even possible or practical). Also, I had heard some time back that they were in the process of modernizing the courses, which I assume would include making materials available in a digital (maybe even multimedia) format. Does anyone know whether that's actually happening? |

Answered my own question after looking at the posts more closely. Went to the NTIS site, did a search and found everything. Pretty expensive texts (~$100/each). Maybe I can find them a little cheaper here in Monterey. |
