I love that you provide the FSI courses!. I first was exposed to one in 1965 when I was learning Amharic.
The FSI course, combined with classes with native speakers, really got me up to speed and I had a reasonable ability after only two months!
These courses are really thorough! Best of all, the audio portion started right in by immersing me in a real-life conversation spoken by a native speaker at normal speed.
This year I wanted to brush up on my Amharic and I'm glad I chose FSI Language Courses!
