Nashua, N.H., February 11, 2010 - Love is in the air this February 14th, and Transparent Language is spreading that feeling across the world with free online Valentine’s Day eCards in 9 different languages. Accessible through Transparent’s website, these eCards can be personalized for any occasion including anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or just to say, “I love you.” These ecards are available in Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, German, French, Chinese, Italian, and one multi-lingual card which is easy to send and fun to use. A “16-Language Love Song” music video that humorously teaches viewers how to say “I love you” in 16 different languages is also available at Byki.com/love.

“These Valentine’s Day eCards are a simple and fun way to make language-learning an experience people look forward to.” says Lorien Green, eCommerce Manager at Transparent Language. “Our proven learning method reinforces using language in a natural context – sending holiday greetings and singing love songs are great ways to do that… at least one day a year, anyway.”

After sending a free online eCard, guests are invited to expand their language skills for free with Byki software. This fun, easy, and highly effective, language-learning system is the fastest way to jump-start your foreign language speaking skills.

About the Byki Language Learning Platform

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. The Byki learning method 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. 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 List Central. List Central includes thousands of free, user authored Byki lists as well as hundreds of Byki lists created as companions to leading language textbooks. More than 3 million people around the world already use Byki, which currently comes in more than 70 languages.

About Transparent Language, Inc.

America plays a prominent role in world affairs, and yet our longstanding English-centricity has left us weaker than we should be in our ability to communicate globally. At Transparent Language, we attempt to correct this problem by developing language-learning resources and systems that deliver more rapid, reliable, and engaging language learning to those who need language skills for work or school, as well as those who simply find joy in learning and using other languages. Each day we use our expertise in the research and practice of language learning to build programs that are licensed for use by all personnel of Foreign Service Institute, Defense Language Institute, US Special Operations Command, US Marine Corps, US Navy, and many other government organizations, as well as by thousands of schools, hundreds of public libraries, and millions of individual users.
