I’m excited about this find. These free language courses were originally written for the United States Foreign Service Institute. You can buy them on Amazon but be ready to pay a lot more than you wanted to spend.

Here’s a list of the courses available (so far):

Amharic, Arabic, Bulgarian, Cambodian (Khmer), Cantonese, Chinese, Chinyanja, Czech, Finnish, French, Fula, German, Greek, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Igbo, Italian, Japanese, Kituba, Korean, Lao, Lingala, Luganda Moré, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Shona, Sinhala, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Twi, Vietnamese, Yoruba

Voice of America

The Voice of America has excellent programming for English language learners in Special English which is English with a restricted vocabulary. As far as I know, all VOA Special English content is available at the site, so you can see video, listen to radio, or read the transcripts. It seems like it would be an excellent resource for both adult and teen learners of English as a second language (ESL).

The VOA website also has content in dozens of other languages, including common languages like French, Hindi, and Russian, as well as less commonly spoken languages such as Kirundi, Khmer, and Croatian.

If you are trying to learn to read and write Khmer (Cambodian) from the beginning, you should probably check out KhmerSchool on YouTube. He’s posted more than 70 videos so far.

Cambodia and Me

In 1995, when I got my LDS mission call to Philadelphia’s Cambodian refugees, I knew nothing of Cambodia or its history. I did a two month language learning stint at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) and then flew to Philadelphia. I very quickly became familiar with South Philadelphia’s narrow and littered streets, and I came to love the southeast Asian people who lived there. In the almost 15 years that have lapsed since, I feel I have become more than somewhat Cambodian at heart. One day I’d like to visit Cambodia.
