Hello.  I was overjoyed to have come across this place yesterday.  I had actually been attempting to create my own personal library of FSI pdf files by scanning the copies I could obtain from libraries.  I had just finished copying the five-hundred page Amharic Basic Course when I stumbled across this website by pure coincidence and found the whole first volume here!  I would like to see the second volume (which I did not have time to scan) here soon.
 
Anyway, I have a few courses that are not on this website, including Fula, Lingala, and soon maybe Kirundi and Shona as well.  My pdfs are not very high quality and some words may be cut off, but I find that they may be a nice addition to this site.  How do I go about submitting them?  Thank you.

Send a PM (private message) to gdfellows.

BTW, the courses you've mentioned mesh in perfectly with the ones I'm working on.  I've completed the scanning for Hausa, Igbo, Moré, Yoruba Intermediate, and Spanish Vol 1. Just need another week or two to cleanup the scan images.

Excellent!  I was hoping those would be added soon.  Thank you!

Do you have access to the audio tapes for Fula?

Unfortunately, no.  So far no libraries I've found have had any tapes, only books.  But if I do get a hold of them, I'd be glad to contribute them.

Fula, Kirundi, etc.

It appears that they also have the sound recordings for Chinyanja!  I will see what I can do about getting ahold of them.
