The FSI (Foreign Service Institute) language courses are arguably the best free language courses available anywhere. The FSI language courses cover over 40 languages from the most spoken in the world to some less well known ones. Some of the language learning material is a bit dated, but it is still possible for someone to learn a huge amount from this material This material is public domain. Feel free to use and download the PDF files and audios on this page however you would like. All of these files are the original, and some of them are a bit old (over 30 years) so some of the information in them may be a bit out of date, but they are still the best free language courses you can find anywhere.

Through his obsession with numbers he solves the crime. “This was a good read, witty, told with humor and compassion.”  Our next selection will be “Empire of the Summer Moon” by S.C.Gwynne.  The

Aging in Place (AIP)

Please join us for a new senior program forming in our area. This is already successful in many areas including the Glens Falls area. The program is designed for all who have chosen to remain in our homes through our aging years, with dignity, for as long as possible. The goal is to provide support and community building.
