The Library announces a new way to learn languages online.   Byki, short for “Before You Know It,” is a rapid learning system employing spaced interval repetition.  The Byki visual and audio learning method takes users through a series of simple steps to memorize words and phrases in a new language, including their meanings and proper pronunciation, in the shortest possible time. 

         You can learn over 70 languages—Afrikaans to Zulu, plus English as a second language lessons for speakers of Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.

        Advanced Pronunciation Analysis helps you perfect your pronunciation skills.  Individual progress tracking and assessment tests help identify areas for improvement and move you in the right direction.

         In addition to Byki Online’s advanced learning tools, you have access to an array of online language and cultural resources, including one-click access to Facebook and Twitter language communities, as well as Byki language Blogs featuring a collection of articles covering the language and the culture that surrounds it.
