Are there more modules (except 7 and 8)?

There are also several optional modules and a resource module. The NTIS catalog recommends starting with Module 1 (Orientation) and the Resource module. I am loading the individual text and audio files to fsi-language-courses. The resource module and module 1 are complete, and work is starting on module 2. My thanks to Sir Nigel, washintin, and geranio for the course materials. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Unfortunately the FSI Chinese lags behind other language programs of FSI. It is badly and haphazardly designed, lacks an overall structure, and the progress that learner makes is so slow, that only very patient persons can use it, or those who learn in classroom. Who will have enough patience to repeat endlessly "my name is..."
It is very fortunate that FSI has not used this "modular approach" for other of their programs. Edited by Linas on 27 February 2006 at 12:57am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Has someone already tried already to learn Mandarin with this program? What were results? Despite the appaling appearance it can just be a very good program. When I first saw the Greek course, I also had rather reserved opinion about it however when I have tried it ... it works. Other programs maybe look better but when you listen to them words and phrases do not stick to memory, with the FSI they stick! It seam that with FSI Mandarin the most difficult thing is to go past some of the very first units which are boring indeed. Later perhaps, although it maybe dull to hear endless repetition of the same phrases, but the feeling that words are sticking to the memory is a very good incentive indeed. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've downloaded the orientation to have a look at it, but I find it quite confusing. Many files and folders and I don't know what to begin with. Good job, anyway!
