Thanks. I'm anxiously awaiting the African languages, especially the Hausa book.

DemiPuppet, you're incredible! We're all lucky to have such a Stakhanovite working on our behalf. Many, many thanks for all your ongoing contributions.

No problem. The university library has all the FSI original books; I just scan them (which I'll continue to do).
But I should mention that there is a number of books that I won't be scanning since they appear to contain material that probably falls under US copyright. But if someone else wants to scan them...
- Swahili General Conversation
- Swahili Geography
- Turkish Graded Reader
- Lao Basic Volume 2
- Contemporary Cambodian: The Land and the Economy
- Contemporary Cambodian: Political Institutions
- Contemporary Cambodian: The Social Institutions
- Dutch Reader
- Indonesian Newspaper Reader
- Communicating in Polish
- Conversational Finnish
- Conversational Finnish Workbook
The latter 3 have lots of foreign produced photos and drawings. The others contain text which was originally published outside the US.

Thanks for submitting these. I'm really looking forward to using the French Phonology book.

Hello,
I am new to this list and am interested in learning/improving my Finnish. Aside from the recordings, are any printed materials available. Is anyone else pursuing Finnish?
Thanks,

Hey all,
I have several tapes which I copied when I worked at a University. They are from the NTIS tapes, not audio forum etc...
I found:
Hausa Units 1-30
Serbo-Croatian Units 1-25 and
Amharic Units 1-50
I thought I had Bulgarian too but I can't for the life of me find it right now.
I have no way to digitize them so I was wondering if I could send them to one of you with that capability for use on the site? Please let me know, I'd be more then happy to donate them!

liddytime, this is great news, and I hope that someone with the right equipment will take you up on your kind offer.
As you can see from an earlier posting in this same thread, there is interest in the Hausa tapes; the text is already available on the site.
Re Serbo-Croatian, the first volume of the text was posted on the site some months ago, but some of the pages were not very clear. I had a clearer copy of the book, which I sent to gdfellows for scanning, but given the lack of audio it's been very much on the back burner. So if someone could prepare the tapes, this would be a useful contribution. (A number of people have expressed interest in Serbo-Croatian over the past year or so, but apparently the tapes have been hard to come by, so your tapes would be a very valuable contribution. Also, if memory serves, I had offered gdfellows volume two of the book (again, the book only, not the audio), but he said he already had volume two.) Hopefully, someone will be able to take you up on your offer re the tapes.
As for Amharic, the complete set of tapes is available at this site:
http://languagelab.bh.indiana.edu/amharic_a400.html
so I would think that would be a lower priority.
Finally, volume one of the Bulgarian textbook is supposedly available on the site, although the link doesn't seem to work; so if you were able to find the audio tapes, that would also be a very useful contribution.
In any event, many thanks for your offer to share what you have. A fair number of the courses on the site have in fact become available through just such a division of labor, with one person providing the text and someone else the audio, or, as in some of the material that I've donated, gdfellows digitizing materials for which I didn't have the equipment to do so.

liddytime, thanks for offering these tapes. I know they will be appreciated, especially the Serbo-Croatian course (by me). Thanks!

If I had time, I would digitalize the Serbo-Croatian tapes. Unfortunately, if I were to try to do it now with my schedule the way that it is, you wouldn't see the tapes for a year.

If anybody has the Ukrainian workbook, I would gladly scan it. I have several good-quality scanners.
Also, I don't know how, as I stumbled on this website today, but would be more than willing to to digitize the Ukrainian, Romanian or Italian audio.
I would be glad to devote my time.
