Available for download, Byki for iPhone and iPod touch currently comes in French and Spanish, with more languages - such as German, Italian, Japanese, and others - in the works.
Byki for iPhone includes approximately 1000 words and phrases in each language, all taught through Byki's rapid, 3-step learning process. Every word and phrase includes native speaker sound, and Byki for iPhone includes the SlowSound function that allows users to slow down the audio to help perfect their pronunciation. Byki for iPhone also comes with a quiz, letting users assess how much they've actually learned. Finally, Byki for iPhone allows users to search for words and phrases, turning the iPhone or the iPod touch into a portable audio phrasebook.
"Byki's just ideal for time-pressed iPhone users who want to learn another language," said Michael Quinlan, CEO of Transparent Language. "With Byki on your iPhone, you can steal five minutes on the train, or anywhere really, to learn more useful words and phrases. Unlike other language products, that's exactly what Byki is designed to do - help you efficiently expand your vocabulary and phrase knowledge in short bursts of time. Steadily growing vocabulary really does make all the difference for language learning - the research shows that very clearly."
Byki, short for "Before You Know It," is a rapid learning system employing spaced interval repetition. Experts agree that the key to second language learning is first building a strong lexical foundation - a ready supply of words and phrases locked in one's memory. Transparent Language is a provider of language learning software for consumers, educational institutions, government agencies, and businesses.
