Missing or corrupt recording?

Postby laoma on September 21st, 2009, 5:29 pm

THis is a great site. I'm glad that I found you. I went through the FSI Hebrew almost 40 years ago. It prepared and paved the way for my success in acquiring Hebrew to near native levels. I graduated from the University of Tel-Aviv. More to the point, I'm currently doing Chinese. Is the tape In ORN - unit 1 Tape1 D1-1 corrupt? It is only 850KB and seems to be drastically short.

Thanks a lot,

It looks like there was originally only one drill tape that covered the material for both Units 1 and 2. My guess is that whoever created the sound files split the tape into two files - one for each unit. If you listen to Tape 2D-1, you'll see that it picks up where the first tape leaves off. Also, when you compare the two files with what is in the text, nothing seems to be missing.

Hope that helps,
James

Thanks James...I will be doing unit 2 tonight, so I might have figured that out. Anyway, thanks for the input!

Cheers!
