About FSI Language Courses
FSI Language Courses is a website that collects free language courses developed by the US Foreign Service Institute. The courses were originally made to train US diplomats, military personnel, and Peace Corps volunteers. The homepage states that the materials are now in the US public domain and free to use. The site lists more than 151 languages and more than 301 courses, including popular collections such as Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese.
Each course is offered as downloadable audio and PDF workbooks. The homepage describes the audio as recordings of drills, dialogues, and exercises spoken by native speakers, and the PDFs as covering grammar, vocabulary, dialogues, and cultural notes. The homepage also mentions an AI Study Assistant that answers questions about course content, but it gives no further details about how it works or what it costs. One learner quoted on the homepage describes the program as dated, and another says the course looked intimidating at first.
