Comment on #FSI Language Courses Are Restored! by Raymond Blakney

My pleasure Jerome.

I should have everything up by this Friday, April 12th (have about 85% of them up as of today). I am also working on making the books into full webpages (Have Spanish Basic 1,2, and 3 almost done and should be up in 2 months or so) so people can read them online with audios integrated in. But that will take some time to do all of them as it is very time consuming.

I hope it helps.

Yes, I moved to Chicago last week. I am still keeping up with Chinese via Standard Chinese at the FSI language courses websites that are referred to in my recent posts. I wish you the best, and stay in touch!

Comment on The Forgotten Art of the Board Game by Jerome Rowley

Well, you certainly picked two favorites of mine. The thing about Carcassonne and Settlers of Catan are that they have a lot of expansions and room for variety. The fact that you essentially assemble the map of the game as you play it make them intriguing for younger players. There are some board games like Tikal by Wolfgang Kramer that are also good because they involve some strategy. I am so glad that there are families out there like yours that still interact via board games!

Thanks so much for not only restoring the language courses, but “dusting off the shelves” as it were to make the site look a bit less “utilitarian” and more pleasing to the eye. Thanks so much!

Wow, I was just thinking about asking you if you wanted to meet for coffee. Have you already moved? Your post about “fluent in three months” really helped me!! Thanks. Good luck on your move!

So Jerome, what are your favorite German games? My family is a big fan of Carcassonne. We have done a bit with Settlers of Catan too.

Hi Jerome,
Thank you for the update. Just so you and your readers know, the files have also been put on the web at:

http://www.livelingua.com/fsi-language-courses.php

You can also download them all there. They have been put up on a web template, so it may be a bit easier for people to navigate. I hope that helps.

Comment on #FSI Language Courses have Disappeared! UPDATED by Raymond Blakney

Hi,
I run a small language site called Live Lingua. Like the rest of you I was upset to find out that the site was down a few weeks ago. To help I am going to put it back up – and make it look a little more modern since the old site was a bit spartan – at:

http://www.livelingua.com/fsi-language-courses.php

I started creating the section this morning so it is not done yet, but I hope to have it up by the end of next week. Of course it will be 100% free. Feel free to use and share.

I hope this helps.
