Last month's trivia questions and answers:

What is the least widely spoken language? (Hint: There are actually several languages with only 1 known speaker. Any one of these will do.)

Well, we never thought we'd see this; we received no correct answers to last month's question! There were many acceptable answers: Luo, Eyak, Klamath, Mapia, and Yupik are some of the languages with only one known remaining speaker, according to Ethnologue: Languages of the World. Better luck this time to our entrants!

This month's trivia question:

A little courtesy can go a long way in a foreign country! The following words mean "Please" and "Thank you" - in which languages?

Vær så venlig; Tak.
Por favor; Obrigado
Os gwelwch yn dda; Diolch
Pakisuyo; Salamat
Nceda; Enkosi

The answers and the winner will be in our next newsletter. Winner will receive their choice of one Talk Now or World Talk language CD-ROM! No purchase necessary to enter.

FREE Instant Replay Digital Cassette Recorder w/FSI Cassette Purchase
A $50 value, the perfect accessory to any of our FSI cassette courses, FREE with your order for a limited time! This language learning cassette recorder/player has many built-in features that make language learning easier than ever! It was specially designed with language learners in mind to automatically replay selections of language tapes while you listen. One option is to simply play the tape and let the machine replay each sentence for you three times, then move on the the next sentence. Another option lets you select the section to repeat up to 15 minutes - for example, after hearing the phrase "Today is a beautiful day" from this cassette, you can have the same phrase instantly replayed over and over again with just one touch of a button. With the Instant Replay Digital Cassette Recorder, you will never have to rewind a cassette tape to replay the materials on it!

Multilingual Books FSI courses are available in over 30 languages. These courses are considered by many to be the best and most complete language courses available.

Receive your FREE Instant Replay Digital Cassette Recorder with your FSI cassette course purchase over $100 for a limited time! Use promo code MB-DCR-723 to receive this special.

Power-Glide courses are different because they are designed by linguists, not marketing strategists. Power-Glide Adventure Courses were created by Dr. Robert Blair, one of the world's leading linguists, who spent over 30 years developing this revolutionary language learning system. His study took him all over the world, and he spent years evaluating and experimenting with many teaching methods. Dr. Blair has also produced materials for translators, Peace Corps Volunteers, the U.S military, and students of all ages. He learned from and collaborated with dozens of world-renowned teachers and combined the best methods into one very exciting course. The result is an innovative and proven method to learning a foreign language. Best of all it's fun!

Asterix is based on the popular French comic book series of the same name and is a fun, interactive way to learn. Available on CD-ROM only, to teach your choice of English, French, German, Latin, Italian, and Spanish. It is intended for a person who has already studied the language on an introductory level, but wants to increase their vocabulary, fluency and word recognition in a more interesting setting. Windows or Mac CD-ROM.
