FSI German Basic Course

<Update July 12, 2020> I've found better quality audio files. If you have any difficulty understanding the speakers, you'll want to get this update. <Update June 12, 2020> The first 7 Units are now complete. Due to the size of the deck, the first 5 Units are here, and the remaining Units are in "FSI German Basic Course_2". I'll continue this pattern of splitting the decks up into blocks of 5 Units. I've also began using the "Hierarchical Tags Addon 20 21" (1835859645) to better organize tags. This deck was creating using the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) German Basic Course. The course material can be found at: https://www.fsi-language-courses.net/fsi-german-basic-course/ I highly recommend that you download the Student Text .pdf documents located there, as they provide grammar and other tips related to these lessons. Currently, I've only included the first two Units. My goal is to add all 24 (while learning the language myself). At this point, I'm looking for feedback before pressing on. Any suggestions related to the card layout, or deck organization would be greatly appreciated. This course is very old (1961), and as such, the audio is not always very good. I've tried to clean it up some. Also some of the language is a bit outdated, but it is still an excellent resource for leaning to speak German.
