Transparent Language today announced the next release of its Byki for
iPhone language learning app in German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese,
Portuguese, and Russian. Originally available in French and Spanish, all
Byki language apps are now available for purchase in the iTunes store.
Byki Spanish and Byki French are currently the best selling iPhone

been among the most popular iPhone language education apps in the U.S.

Byki for iPhone includes approximately 1000 words and phrases in each

Every word and phrase includes native speaker sound, and Byki for iPhone
includes the popular SlowSound function that allows users to slow down
the audio to help perfect their pronunciation. The Chinese and Japanese
apps come with both transliteration and native script.
“We’re proud of how well the Byki for iPhone app has been received, both
in its sales volume and in the great ratings and reviews,” said Michael
Quinlan, CEO of Transparent Language. “Language learners obviously
recognize that it’s a great educational experience at a fantastic price.
This is just the second round of language releases. There will be more
to come.”
ABOUT THE BYKI SYSTEM
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. Byki is the
most direct path to that goal. Byki takes users through three simple
steps to memorize words and phrases in a new language, including their
meanings and proper pronunciation, in the shortest possible time. More
than 3 million people around the world already use Byki, which currently
comes in more than 70 languages.
