bykilogo Do you remember when we brought you news of the great little iPhone/iTouch App for learning Irish Gaelic from the company known for its free services to the language learning community? The App has gone to version 1.1 with some amazing improvements. Byki will teach you over 1000 critical words and phrases with an easy, addictive, and lightning-fast 3-step process. Perfect your accent with native speaker sound, quiz yourself, and use the search feature to look up words like a phrase book. It takes just one simple download of the software application. See the App website.

Byki iPhone Teaching System

Byki v.1.1 brings the Byki learning method to the iPhone and leverages its native capabilities to deliver a dynamic mobile learning experience. It enables users to study “lists” of words and phrases, whenever and wherever they have a few minutes to “steal” some time to study. One of the greatest obstacles to learning a language is finding the time to study regularly and make it a daily habit. Because iPhone and iPod Touch users bring their devices with them wherever they go, Byki v.1.1 enables users to overcome their time constraints and make that goal a reality. It also integrates the Byki iPhone app with the other components of the larger Byki Platform. Main Byki options

The Byki Platform includes both free and paid desktop software, an online learning application, mobile apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and the List Central learning community at Byki.com. List Central includes thousands of free, user authored Byki lists as well as hundreds of Byki lists created as companions to leading language textbooks. These content sets are available for Byki iPhone users to download and study on the go. More than 3 million people around the world already use Byki desktop software on their MACs and PCs.

Byki v.1.1 teaches the user over 1000 words and hundreds of phrases through dozens of Byki lists included in the downloaded app and provides access to thousands more through additional lists made available for download from the Byki server. Byki for iPhone also integrates with Byki.com to give users free access to companion textbook lists and their favorite Byki lists created by other users in our online community. Finally, owners of the Byki Deluxe software can also create their own study lists on their PC or MAC and post them on Byki.com for download to their iPhone app.
