Why
You Need To Use our
FSI Language Programs
All our course material was obtained from NTIS, the National Technical Information Service,
the U.S. govermnents agency responsible for maintaining audio and video programs developed by the United
States government. This material was purchased, not given away, any representation that the courses
we sell are in the "public domain" are false. What makes them NOT in the public domain, is the fact that
we spent the time and money to digitally re-master the originals, as the original masters are only on
audio cassette. We used TASCAM professional audio equipment to clean and convert the programs to a digital
format, and then used advanced software to clean the audio even further. The Compact Disc versions are superior
to any other FSI product on the market, as our clients can attest. The MP3 versions are sampled at 300 Khz at 300 Kbp,
not 30 Khz at 30 Kbp. So what's the difference you ask? Clarity! When learning a tonal language, it is extremely
important to understand the nuances in pitch. You do not get the highs and lows in the frequency range when the recorded
sample is poor and compressed to the point where the data loss translates into gibberish. We know everyone likes to
"get something for free," who doesn't. We also know everyone is opposed to theft of personal property. The courses we
sell are worth every penny that we charge, and for some to make the argument that "it's public domain, therefore it
should be free," are socialists. The fact is, we have material that would not be available at all, if we didn't spend the
money, and countless hours, to re-master. When selling these programs, we are not getting rich, we are recouping are initial
investment. So when you ask yourself why America is faltering, it's simply a matter of morality. Theft of services is still theft.
