Listen online or download Korean language course audio files from the Foreign Language Institute website. The Foreign Language Institute was created by the United States Department of State in the 1960s to aid diplomats and others to learn a foreign language quickly. The language lessons are a series of drills that result in rapid learning by a stimulus-response method of instruction. Download the audio files to your computer, burn to a CD-ROM or save as MP3 files on an iPod or other player. Once the files are downloaded, you can listen to the lessons anytime, anywhere.
