[Tlc] FSI Language Learning Materials available free online

[Frank Smith]

This blog post describes a great free resource for downloading old FSI 
(Foreign Service Institute) materials--in most cases with audio as 
well--for learning Thai, Lao and Khmer, in addition to 31 other languages:

These materials are old and not without their pedagogical shortcomings, 
yes, but like the man says, the price is certainly right.   Get 
something back for your [American] tax dollars that produced these in 
the first place!  The blog itself, "Thai 101", is a great read on a 
regular basis as well.
