Oh dang, sorry. If the Yojik one is audio only, unsure how to get the actual books or pdf of them.

FWIW, Headstart might not be bad to start with. SOLT as well; it is normally a simple(r) beginner course as those SOF guys don't need the same proficiency/detail that the folks who do the basic course need.

I have the one for the second volume, so I'll just muddle through with the Basic, then move to FSI and then return to Volume II in hopes that I can understand most of it. :)

The live lingua page claims that this is a copy of the DLI Korean Basic Course. But comparing it with the FSI courses on yojik, it looks like it is actually the FSI Korean Basic Course (though without the original title page). Could someone check this?

I noticed a problem right away when using the first set of dialogues in that all the names are different.

Every time I have tried to figure out whether/how to use the FSI/DLI korean resources, I found myself getting immediately very confused and giving up...until now, where I think I have some clarity about what is actually available.

iguanamon wrote:While people can do the drills with audio only, if you don't know what you may be drilling... it would be useless. Perhaps IronMike can help you locate the text to the old BLI Basic course. Have you looked on Yojik? I did and they had the course available as a zipped file. I don't want to download it just to see if a pdf is attached, but you could. I don't know if the book is in that archive. I also looked on Eric and they have both volumes of the DLI Korean Basic Course, however; only volume 2 is presently available for download. Volume 1 is listed as "awaiting restoration".


I believe the Korean Basic Course on ERIC is actually FSI, not DLI. The Volume 2 pdf is the same volume 2 of the FSI course from Yojik, and on Yojik, volume 1 of the FSI course (same author as volume 2) identifies itself as being an FSI produced text. The good news is that this means the full volume 1 and 2 audio + texts are available for this course, as the Yojik site has all of the parts. Unfortunately it seems like this means the DLI course is unavailable.

iguanamon wrote:You may be referring to the Korean integrated audio only course. I have no experience with this.


The DLI Korean course hosted at Yojik appears to actually be the audio accompanying an (old?) version of the Integrated Korean textbook series, which is actually what the first tape 1 track in the download identifies itself as. The audio content doesn't exactly match the edition of the Integrated Korean textbook that I looked at, but most of it is identical and the themes are the regular college campus approach of a typical textbook. As far as I am aware this means these are not at all associated with a DLI-produced course, unless integrated korean somehow had roots in DLI, but this seems unlikely...
