I would like to take the four levels of FSI French. I am not sure where best to get them from. I ordered Barron Mastering French 1 and 2 - but apparently these are abridged versions of the first two levels only. I looked at multilingualbooks.com which offers all four leves with printed books - but the price is rather heavy (about 1000 US dollars alltogether). I would like to have the books in a printed out form and I do not have the equipment to print out thousands of pages myself. Any idea where I could get things a bit cheaper :-)? I am living in Germany, btw - which adds customs fees to the whole, as well. Is there a market for used copies?

There seem to be only level 1 and 2 on the FSI website. Or do they count differently (I thought there were 4 levels)?

Every level in the FSI website accounts for two in the barron series, so yes, everything is in there

There were only ever two levels--some publishers split each level in half so they could sell you four packages and make more money.
Return the Barron's copies if you can. I assure you that they are not abridged, but it is so much cheaper to print the PDF's yourself at a copy center, and it's perfectly legit. You may even find the audio quality better in the MP3's.. Edited by maaku on 16 May 2010 at 11:23am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Would you have the printouts bound? I guess it would be hard to work with loose sheats of paper, wouldn it? Or put them into a ring binder? What would be more practical? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I had access to a laser printer at my last job.. so I have the units printed out and clipped with binder clips. Works for me. I find loose sheets of paper better (with clips for transport), but that's a highly individual thing; everybody is different.
Good luck! 1 person has voted this message useful |
