Hi all,
are there other methods similar to FSI for languages that are not covered by it? For example, I'm studying Dutch and Persian but there isn't a course for them. Sub-questions: there are classes of languages which the FSI method doesn't apply very well? Thank you very much in advance. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well out there is Teach Yourself & Assimil. I think the second one might only be
available in French, which depending on how good yours is now, might not be a problem. It might be your best choice just based on hours of audio. I would not worry about the *exact* method too much. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The Defense Language Institute (DLI) Courses are very similar to FSI and they have Dutch and Persian and many other languages.

There is a Persian Assimil with an Italian base. See assimil.it. Dutch is only in French, English and German, from what I can tell. EDIT: Nevermind, I was wrong. The Persian courses do indeed seem to be all in French. Edited by geoffw on 14 January 2014 at 4:21pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

FSI actually did produce a Persian course, although it's not as extensive as some of their other courses.
You can download a PDF here: http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED053628.pdf The audio is available here: http://www.iu.edu/~celtie/persian_archive.html Since audio is not available for the first few lessons of the DLI Persian course cited above, starting with the FSI course and then moving on the the DLI course might be a useful approach for those who like courses of this type. ADDENDUM: The PDFs for the DLI Persian course can be found here: http://eric.ed.gov/?q=persian+basic+course The audio (but not for the first volume) is here: https://jlu.wbtrain.com/sumtotal/language/DLI%20basic%20cour ses/Persian/Audio%20Only/ Edited by daristani on 14 January 2014 at 4:39pm 9 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I don't know about the Dutch course, but the Linguaphone course for Thai reminds me of an FSI course in some respects. Most of the exercises are drill-type. Maybe the Dutch course is the same way?

It isn't. The Linguaphone Dutch course, which is from the 1980s, is not like the
earlier 1970s courses that had FSI like exercises attached to the back of each lesson. Its more conversation based. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
