Where do the original courses come from? They are mentioned on the FSI website, but no indication where or how you can get them.
I'm interested in a Japanese course... |

They come from the State Department. The official source for these courses is NTIS.gov which is the American government's distributor of government-related documents and resources.
Here's a link to the list of FSI courses that NTIS sells to common folk. http://www.ntis.gov/products/nac_browse.aspx (look on the screen's right) You can sometimes find second-hand copies of the original courses for sale on e-Bay or the database of bookfinder.com. Because most FSI courses are in the public domain in the USA (however we've had some arguments on this forum about the status of what is presented as the FSI Japanese course), sellers on e-Bay and private companies copy these courses and resell them - sometimes even applying copyright protection on them. Some of these companies are Barron's, Multilingual Books, Plurality Language and Audio Forum. Edited by Chung - 03 July 2008 at 8:49am |
