Learn a Language with Byki

How would you like to learn a language without practicing grammar all the time?

I would love it, because grammar and I don't get along;

When I returned home from the U.S.A (I was a kid at that time), I had perfect English. However, when my School English teacher started to teach us grammar, I got lost. I didn't feel comfortable to speak English anymore, and therefore my English deteriorated. It took many years to gain my confidence back.

Other than that – Do you really need to use correct grammar when you are in a new country and are shopping for cleaning products? What will it help if you know how to say correctly I need to buy, but do not know how to say cleaning products?

Don't get me wrong. Grammar is important, but not at the beginning when you are just acquiring the new language.

This is why I got so excited when I bumped into Byki – They were saying out loud what I was thinking for many years.

Byki stands for Before You Know It . It is a language learning system, which includes desktop software, online applications, free content, articles, and games. The system was developed by the educational software company Transparent Language, and it can be used to learn 74 different languages.

It understands that you can use better the foreign language by memorizing many words and phrases in your head.

This is why, instead of teaching grammar, Byki concentrates on helping you to quickly memorize a large number of frequently used words, stock phrases, and common expressions. So, when you need to ask something in the foreign language, you won't be stuck with correct grammar, but no vocabulary.

How does Byki do it?

Quite simple! With a Flash Card Software, a 3 steps program and set of lists with words and phrases (One set written in the foreign language and the second transliterated to your own language).

First Step - Preview the words that appear on the list by browsing through the flash cards.

Second step – Recognize the written and spoken forms of each word and of critical Quick start phrases for use in common, real-life situations.

Third step - Express yourself in the foreign language by speaking or writing it on your own.

Byki offers even more - It keeps track of what you learn and use it to help you review the items you might forget along the way. This way you'll keep everything you learn in your long-term memory, forever.

Moreover, you can learn a language at your own progress because the language learning software can recognize the material you learn quickly and takes note of those items that are harder for you. Byki then focus on the items that you find more challenging, without wasting your time on those you learn with ease.

You can also evaluate your progress by yourself through Learned Items charting and multiple testing options, including written, listening comprehension, dictation and more.
