Re the Russian stuff, there's only 7 CDs. Unless they're MP3s, sounds like a lot of the audio is missing...

Assuming that the entire audio is actually there, and that the course is original material, is this something that would be beneficial to this group?

I have sent an e-mail to the ebay seller, asking about the quantity of audio included. By the description, which says that there is audio for each module, i would assume that there would be a minimum of 50 hours of so of audio (assuming 1 hr per module, similar to other courses). We'll see what the seller has to say.
I guess the big questions is (are) 1) Would this be a better purchase for me that completing the Hungarian and Korean courses, as I planned? This may be a once-in-a-long-time deal 2) Would gdfellows allow the posting of this course? From the photos, it seems obvious to me that this is material from a student who attended the course. It is an original government course. Scanning these documents would be a massive undertaking, while the audio, if already in mp3, would take little or no work. Smoen |

The only thing to watch for is that DLI courses are distinct from FSI courses even though DLI is ultimately part of the federal government (and SHOULD mean that its publications are exempt from copyright protection.)
Here's a link to some discussion about DLI courses (scroll towards the bottom of the first page):
The eligibility of DLI courses as public-domain seems a little unclear, unfortunately. Edited by Chung - 11 January 2007 at 10:11am |

I contacted the seller on e-bay, and the audio files ARE mp3. The homework audio is a bit over 7 hours (sounds about right).
In any case, I have put in a bid for the course. If I win the course, and it is appropriate for this site, I will contact gdfellows and work it out from there. SMoen |

Ooooh! If you would post that here it would be awesome (technicalities of posting a DLI course considered of course). :O
