This is great news. Thank you both!
Funny, just yesterday I went over a box of old books and discovered my FSI Bulgarian course from the late 1980s. I never got too far with it, but their method is clear and good.
At the U. of Michigan in the mid 60s my class used FSI for Modern Hebrew.
Thank you for sharing this resource! With school finished, I now have no more excuses to dodge learning Mandarin....
EB, your welcome!
