Hello guys and gals,

Do any of you guys happen to have the complete Basic Spanish FSI course, and is it possible I could get it in mp3 and PDF file formats, the way it's available here?

Bare with me please...

I'm active in the Interlingua movement, and eversince I found out here that the FSI programs are in the public domain it finally clicked. We were trying to create an Interlingua langauge program from scratch, but it wasn't as good as we thought it should be. I knew about the FSI programs, and would have liked to base ours on it, but I didn't know that they were in the public domain, and I certainly didn't want to commit copyright infringement.

Knowing what I know now, I think we can move forward with our program, based on the FSI program, and the best example to use would be the FSI Spanish, Italian or French course, in that order, since Interlingua was developed from the Romance languages.

I would love to contribute if I could, but the programs I used thus far were the Pimsleur ones, which I have for Spanish, Russian and Japanese. But, these are copyrighted so they wouldn't be of any use to you, unless you guys would like to have them for yourself.

If so, let me know.   

Thanks,

blueyes

I was looking around on the web and found a free language learning site that uses FSI basic Spanish.  You have to participate online, but it has all 55 levels and some added material. It has some 10000 lines of dialogue all together. I've played around a little with it.  Here's the address. I'm not affiliated with anyone who made the web site.

I seem to remember reading there's a lot of free esperanto material available online.  Might worth having a look at too...
