I've uploaded the progress so far onto a personal web server of mine (for lack of a better place to put it). When the entire course is formatted correctly, we can look
at a more appropriate place for it (and perhaps other courses I or others decide to do). You can access this here: http://110.142.244.44 You'll find FSI.Swedish.Basic.Course.txt with: Table of Contents Preface To the Student To the Teacher Explanation of Grammatical Terms A Guide to Endings and Symbols A Guide to Swedish Pronunciation Unit 1 - Getting Around Bibliography Also, a folder called "unprocessed", which has the rest of the chapters in it, the word list, and the grammar index. If you'd like to help, post a reply to this thread letting us know what chapter you are doing, grab the chapter from the unprocessed folder, format the content of that .txt file to reflect the PDF (you can find that here: http://fsi-language-courses.org/Courses/Swedish/Basic/FSI%20 -%20Swedish%20Basic%20Course%20-%20Student%20Text.pdf) and then email me the formatted .txt file to robert_tickner@hotmail.com. Regardless of if others jump on the bandwagon with this, I'll be formatting this course as I work through it in my study of Swedish (the reformatting provides a great opportunity for revision). So you should see more of the course formatting completed over the next few weeks. If you want to just jump in and give a hand with a chapter, might be best to start from the end and work backwards. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There are some minor misses (an Å became Ä in the pronuncion section and I saw citron (lemon) spelled cifron) but
it looks really good! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

hi,
I did some OCR and formating for the Russian DLI and FSI documents: check: The Yojik Website I just OCRED the DLI BASIC Russian grammars and exercises (teacher and student part). They need heavy control and reformating so, it will take some time. I'll post here as soon as they are ready.

Hi Eric,
I took a look at your site, you have some good content there. Ideally, when finished, the best place for these reformatted documents would be on the original fsi-language-courses.org website - primarily because it's the place people go to get these courses, and it's at the top of most search engine result listings when one searches for "FSI". I've contacted the administrator of the FSI website - waiting for a response at this stage. Thanks, Rob. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There is a 3-years-old HTLAL thread called "DLI Links" that may still be relevant, and
useful for some people. http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=16633&PN=3&TPN=1 TID=16633&PN=3&TPN=1">http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/f orum/forum_posts.asp? TID=16633&PN=3&TPN=1 DLI Links 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi Rob,
I tend to lurk rather than post on this forum, but just wanted to say thanks for doing this. I'm also just starting FSI Swedish and have been trying unsuccessfully to shrink the huge PDF file size so I can use it on a Kindle. OCR'ed files will be a godsend for me. 1 person has voted this message useful |
