Modules 3 and 4 are really badly scanned. Does someone have a better copy of those? Resource module same problem. This is rather a minor problem. The course is great, because just for this reason it is a pity! Just a shame that they are so expensive to buy, language learning is so great!

Yes, I was able to rescan the remainder of the course from the original texts loaned/donated by members.  If someone has the texts for Modules 3 and 4 and the resource module, I will be happy to scan them.

Thank you for your reply. I would be happy to do it myself but they are impossible to find on this side of the globe. Al the others are more then good enough. I'm Dutch, French, Russian, German speaking (and some Chinese) and I must admit that the best language learning materials come from the USA: FSI, Pimsleur and more!
However, does someone know if this courses are still being used at the FSI and if they are developing new material for any language? Are they in public domain? Just curious.
Still, I would be prepared to convert them to Word files, if I could find a decent OCR program for pinyin (tried Abbyy and Acrobat 7, with bad results).
