My name is Fame Ketover, I'm a language lover, and I'm the founder of the free Lenguin language courses.I'm sure some of you are familiar with the FSI courses, but for those who are not, they are programmatic curricula that have been used for decades in successfully training foreign service workers to fluency.

lingualbabe Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Thank you for sharing this! This can certainly help many people in learning a new language! And it is also free, which is such a good thing. I'm sure to check this out later. I will be waiting for other lessons on Japanese or German language. That will be quite interesting and amazing to watch. I hope you keep us updated on other videos that you will be uploading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurdapia Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi Fame is this a complete lesson? I quickly browsed the youtube channel and it made me wonder if you got a complete set of lessons. Is this just like the other free sites that only offers a few basic lessons and need to upgrade if you want the whole course. Will you be coming up with other languages in the future? This will be of great help to those who want to learn free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
