Don’t forget to download a free version of BYKI Portuguese! Users have added some great lists recently to help you expand your vocabulary.

As you may have noticed, every month the Portuguese podcast comes with a BYKI list, which includes vocabulary lists in Portuguese, English translations of the phrases, photos, and voice recordings. You can test your knowledge by reviewing and then taking a test to see if you remembered the meanings. There are also a variety of activities available, including tests like multiple choice and fill in the blanks, as well as games like word whirl and concentration. You can keep track of what you’ve learned and your reviewed lists.

BYKI is a unique way to help memorize vocabulary and learn new words. On Transparent.com, there are two types available. The first type is free, which allows you access to vocabulary lists in 74 languages to learn, practice, and memorize words. The deluxe version allows you access to more lists, to create your own lists, to record your voice, and to upload lists to your iPod.

On Portuguese Blog, you’ll find a list of the latest uploaded lists in Portuguese on the far right column, as well as a featured BYKI list each month with the podcast. Anyone can listen to them!
