This is a list of resources sent to me from the Hellenic American Union:

HI… Nice… But I see no lessons… !

is it not possible to import the 80 podcasts?

It is certainly possible, but I’m not going to type them into lingq by hand. If I can get access to the non-password protected documents, however, I can import them by copying-and-pasting the text.

They’re there, you just have to figure out how to get the system to show them to you. Ah the joys of the lingq interface…

Sorry for the trouble here! I’m not sure what is causing this, but we’ll look at getting this resolved very soon…

I have accesss to all of them… Because I already unblocked them to use in other sites… Can I do it?

I did it! Lessons unblocked… I think!

Have you asked for permission to share them on LingQ? The site is copyrighted in Europe you need always the permission of the creator if you want to share it. I couldn’t find a CC-note on the page. If you ask kindly for permission and explain what LingQ is about, they’ll probably give it. You should explain that the content on LingQ is free even when there are features that are not free.

Eventually I’ll get around to uploading it here, but my Greek isn’t really good enough to make use of the book, so it might take a while. If someone else wants to import it, please be my guest!
