There is a "slow it down" button to draw out the pronunciation of a word which I found very helpful. <br /><br />bonne courage!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792900235598492952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13027633.post-69069562956609803532009-08-17T13:59:29.273-05:002009-08-17T13:59:29.273-05:00I was really impressed by the number of languages ...I was really impressed by the number of languages offered by BYKI.

You'...We're sorry you didn't like BYKI. You're right, it focuses more on vocabulary than on grammar. You can read about the studies that made Transparent Language decide that this is how adults learn languages the fastest <a rel="nofollow">here</a>. If you'd like to learn more grammar, we have a more extensive version of BYKI on a USB drive that are available for check out. Just search the catalog for Transparent Language to see which languages we have available on USB drives. And yes, there is a free version of BYKI, but its content is supplied by volunteers.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751463516630254845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13027633.post-8453584170700074302009-08-13T07:48:53.107-05:002009-08-13T07:48:53.107-05:00I've tried BYKI and it's great for learnin...I've tried BYKI and it's great for learning nouns, but, I think it's awful for the phrases and sentences. They don't even teach you grammar! I don't understand how anyone can learn a language without learning the grammar. <br />I'm glad the library is looking at all kinds or resources to help us citizens educate ourselves, librarians really are great at that. This one isn't a great example of that so I hope the library didn't spend too much money since there is a free version online:<br />http://www.byki.com/listcentral.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
