Local Online Language Learning Company Bridges the Language Gap Between Dice-K and Red Sox Nation Sox fans

Fans learn Japanese baseball terms and phrases for free, joining 1.5 million who have used free byki.com website to learn a language

Nashua, NH March 20, 2007 - As the Red Sox get ready for the 2007 baseball season all of Red Sox Nation is abuzz with the arrival of Daisuke Matsuzaka and the potential he brings to the Red Sox. But what about the language issue, what are Red Sox fans to do?

When Dice-K says "Koko-ni irareru dakedemo ureshiidesu. Kyuhdan-no chikara-ni narereba-to omoimasu"at the post game press conference will fans know that he said "I'm just happy to be here. Hope I can help the ball club."

With the Bases Loaded and no one out should fans yell "Sanshin-de uchitori" ("Strike him out") or "Batter nashi, batter nashi, batter nashi" ("no batter, no batter, no batter")

Will fans know how to yell "Yakyuh-ni namida-wa nai"? ("There's no crying in baseball")(visit www.byki.com List Central to hear these baseball phrases spoken in Japanese)

In an effort to help Bostonians make Dice-K feel at home the Sox fans at Transparent Language have created a FREE Japanese language learning experience packed with baseball terms and phrases to help our fellow Red Sox fans cheer on Dice-K and his Red Sox teammates.
