Yeah that series does seem rather comprehensive for the languages available. Brilliant given the general lack of material for most of them.

University of Wisconsin Press (BCMS/Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Norwegian)

http://uwpress.wisc.edu/index.html

The University of Wisconsin has published some materials for learners of foreign languages. Unfortunately its website doesn't list these types of resources in one place. The best way to get a list of what they offer is to run a search on the website. On the left of the main page under "How to order", there is a field where you can run a Google custom search. It will then list relevant publications from the university's printing house. The University of Wisconsin has published some materials in Norwegian, Bulgarian, Macedonian and BCMS/Serbo-Croatian. In its custom search-engine, use for example the keywords "Foreign Language", "Norwegian", "Slavic Studies", "Bulgarian", "Macedonian" etc.

I figured that many Universities around the world had developed their own course work for a number of languages and simultaneously have made the materials available for the general public for self/private teaching. If anyone has found any interesting materials from Universities please post them here.

I'll go first: The University of Arizona

Critical Language Series
http://clp.arizona.edu/cls/allproducts.htm
They have developed a multimedia series that can be used for self-teaching.
Brazilian Portuguese, Cantonese, Chinese, Kazakh, Korean, Turkish & Ukranian


For those learning "rare" languages:
http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/

The Association for development of self-teaching programs.
http://www.nasilp.net/
UCLA's language database.


Wow thanks! http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/]http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/ is an incredible resource!


Seconded! I'm browsing through the UCLA link at the moment and it's very nice. From what I've seen and heard, UCLA seems to be a great school for linguistics and/or foreign languages.

Here's one more:

Tokyo University of Foreign Studies
TUFS

This page has a series of 40 videos in Québec French with dialogs in Japanese or English.
(Click on 'EN' to make most instruction text English)
Each of the videos can be studied with 4 different patterns after you select one of the 40.
You can turn on both Japanese and English transcript as the video plays and selectively
mute one of the two speakers if you wish.

There may be content in other languages on this site, I don't know really but this was very useful.
