I'm new here, so I'm hesitant to barge in, but....
Any interest in Polish? Alexander Schenker had a well-known textbook, BEGINNING POLISH, that apparently was widely used in colleges. Maybe a little old, but that shouldn't bother this group!
Anyway, I found the .mp3 files for both the lessons and drills. They're at
Good luck to the Slavicists out there!

Forum member Chung is our resident expert on things Polish, so he may have additional comments on the Schenker materials, or on other Polish resources. But just in case he doesn't weigh in on the topic, anyone interested in Polish should take a look at this site, which has lots of useful material to download:

Thanks, Daristani
Schenker's course is likely the closest to a putative FSI Polish Basic course available to us plebes. Lots of drills and repetition of basic sentences but rather dry. Most of Schenker's drills are similar to transformation or substitution drills.
You can usually find the textbook and workbook through bookfinder.com. Each book costs between $10 and $60, and it's a bit of a crapshoot since some dealers sell them at higher prices than others. Spoken Language Services sells Schenker's textbook (brand-new) for $35. The 19 tapes cost $130 from Spoken Language Services. Getting the free download of all of the tapes as MP3s from Yale is a big advantage for those on limited budgets.
