Peace Corps courses
Just found this fantastic language resource today. It has the pdfs and mp3s of many different Peace Corps courses available for download, some of which I didn't even know were available as Peace Corps courses. Here's a full list of the languages offered: Albanian Armenian Azerbaijani Bengali Setswana (Tswana, from Botswana) Bulgarian More (Moore, from Burkinafaso) Cameroon French Mandarin Chinese Georgian Twi Jordanian Arabic Kazakhstan Russian Kyrgyz Macedonian Malagasy Bambara Hassaniya (Mauritanian Arabic) Moldovian Romanian Mongolian Moroccan Arabic Hausa Romanian (from Romania) Thai Turkmen Ukrainian Zarma Edited by unzum on 09 March 2008 at 7:41pm 5 persons have voted this message useful | |

There are several more languages, available from them. For example I recently found
Bisaya materials for a couple of friends. (Yes I know this an old post) I bumped it up so members would be reminded of the resource for rare languages. Edited by LatinoBoy84 on 29 April 2010 at 4:52am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It seems like this website is no longer available, it's showing a 403 forbidden message.
It's possible that Peace Corps realised people were accessing the site directory and restricted access. The problem is that most of these language courses are not uploaded onto the normal Peace Corps website, only Jordanian Arabic, Russian from Khazakhstan, Bambara, French from Mali, Mandarin, Thai and Ukranian are available. I downloaded the complete Bengali course, if anyone needs that please feel free to e-mail me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Here's the Internet Archive link for the Peace Corps website.
A lot of the courses are still actually downloadable, even if you can't view the directory. Check out the links for the zip files on the Internet Archive website, then copy and paste that link into a new tab/page, making sure to delete the archive bit at the beginning of the website address. And you should then be able to download the zip file. The Internet Archive page doesn't have all the new languages, but if you search google to find out what country name each language is filed under, you should be able to download a zip file called country.zip Here are the country names for languages you can't find on the archived page, to download it just find another zip address from the archive page, then replace the country name. Chichewa - malawi Kinyarwanda - rwanda Sepedi - southafrica isiZulu - southafrica Sranan Tongo - suriname siSwati - swaziland Luganda - uganda Bislama - can be download here 6 persons have voted this message useful |
