The FSI Igbo Basic Course is based on the speech of two members of the Ezinehite group of Igbos in Central Owerri Province between the towns of Owerri and Umuahia, Eastern Nigeria; their speech is representative the dialect called "Central Igbo". The essential phonological and grammatical structures of Igbo are presented within a small vocabulary.

This course is a companion with the courses in Twi, and Yoruba, two other languages of West Africa in the Niger-Congo family. It represents an effort to apply a combination of proven classroom techniques, and new ones that were especially devised for the teaching of complex tonal systems.

Igbo has been less studied by trained linguists than some other African languages, so this course presents basic research into the structure of the language.

The course materials consist of four parts: 1) Tone Drills - a set of seventy-five exercises on the recognition of tone distinctions and patterns; 2) twenty-four units (1-24) containing: a. Dialogues, b. Notes, and c. Drills; 3) six units (25-30) containing a. Dialogues, and b. Short Narratives.; and 4) Vocabulary.
