Yojik
The Yojik site gathers FSI, DLI, and Peace Corps language courses, along with audio collections and other course materials.
About Yojik
The Yojik Website is a language-learning resource site that gathers public-domain courses from the U.S. Foreign Service Institute (FSI), the Defense Language Institute (DLI), and the Peace Corps. It also hosts Cortina courses, a rebuilt copy of the old Shtooka website, audio collections, recording programs, and tutorials.
Visitors can browse FSI, DLI, and Peace Corps course sections, download Shtooka audio collections file by file or as full collections, and access programs for managing those collections. The tutorials cover importing vocabulary lists, digitizing documents into modifiable content, recording word and phrase lists, and splitting audio. A separate section holds rare resources contributed by Helen Abadzi.
It suits independent learners who work with older, text- and audio-based materials and want access to languages including very rare ones. The site notes that FSI and DLI courses are old, so users should check vocabulary against more recent sources.
