"I love that you provide the FSI courses! I first was exposed to one in 1965 when I was learning Amharic. The FSI course, combined with classes with native speakers, really got me up to speed and I had a reasonable ability after only two months!"
Fred A Prinz
"Very good French mp3 and PDF Bundles to work side by side with for language acquisition. I am finding for a dated language program that it is far better than many modern courses currently on the internet."
