Byki
Byki, short for "Before You Know It," is a rapid learning system employing spaced interval repetition. The Byki 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. Available for learning over 80 languages including English as a second language, library patrons are able to access the Byki Online system the same way they access any GALILEO service, inside or outside the library, via the web browser on Windows and Mac computers. (REMEMBER! Patrons outside the library building will require a password; get the current password at the circulation desk.) Users will have a variety of learning options that build listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. In addition, Byki includes Advanced Pronunciation Analysis to help users perfect their pronunciation skills. Individual progress tracking and assessment tests help identify areas for improvement. In addition to Byki Online's advanced learning tools, users will 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.
