Subject: Looking for the Missing Basic Saudi Arabic Tapes
Posted: 24 July 2008 at 6:10am

The Audio tapes for the 34th and 35 lessons in FSI Basic Saudi Arabic are missing.

Can anyone provide the missing tapes for us to study, please?
 
If not, does anyone know of a link or a torrent file where they are to be found?
 
Thank you. Smile

Dear Gary!
     I'm interesting in swahili forum too and I also would like to find and make acquaintance with people who study this very language in order to change our experience and opinion. If you like to make contact I'll apreciate your reply.

I hope some one can help me. It's not like my life depends on knowing this or not but I would really like to know what this clock is saying. It came in the mail from China a week ago and I have not been able to figure it out. I would guess because this LDU Company business is in China that it is Chinese, but you never know, maybe the clock was made in China for Russians? The website is www.lducompany.com and the link to the sega sonic the hedgehog clock is on this page http://www.liangdianup.com/clocks_1.htm

There is a video on thier website on the sonic hedgehog clock page and you can hear what the clock is saying. If some one could tell me exactly what it is saying I would appreciate it. Thank you :)

Subject: Team project to convert PDF to text or HTML
Posted: 22 July 2008 at 3:15am

I've been using the Portuguese course and I would love to have a HTML version which links the exercises with the relevant HTML file.
 
Of course, no such thing exists... yet.
 
So I am wondering if anyone is interested in forming a team to tackle the coursework collectively?
 
If we were to all choose a single course (starting with a popular one like Spanish or French) and then all get assigned a single page of the coursebook to convert to text. Doing a single page should take no more than 5-10 minutes. Once you've completed one page you can start on another, obviously.
 
A person could then volunteer to integrate the various text files into a single HTML resource (and add in the MP3 links).
 
Tackling a 400 page user manual all on your own could be just too intimidating. But doing only a few pages would not be too much effort for anyone.
 
I'm not actually initiating a project here, just polling for interest. I have my own ideas on how it all might work, but I'd be keen to hear anyone else's ideas too. Of course if no-one is keen then my ideas don't really matter anyway :)

I don't think it is a case of someone withholding those tapes from the site.
 
I read JPG's post to mean he personally disagreed with using the southern dialect not that he had the Vol 2 tapes. The link he refers to is this site.
 
Still hoping for these tapes to appear.

I am interested in learning the southern dialect. All of the vietnamese people I know use The Southern Dialect. My wife Uses the southern Dialect. When I visit Vietnam it will be mainly the South.
 
I think it is wrong to refuse these tapes as every other commercially available text and audio lessons use the northern dialect. For Actual speaking purposes those are worthless to me, as I would be able to utilize the Speakers I know and communicate with and they all use the Southern Dialect.
 
I would like to thank all those people who have contributed to this great resource, but, I am begging you please allow the Second Set of tapes to be uploaded.
