It wasn’t easy building an iPhone app that matched the quality and design of our desktop Byki software, but we did it and the response from users has been overwhelmingly positive. I know several people at Transparent Language who are already forsaking their usual favorite iPhone time-wasters for our new Byki application. Read: mission success! Byki Spanish for iPhone grows on people’s minds and gets them results.
There are a lot of great iPhone apps out there, but just think… instead of the usual turn-off-the-brain gaming session, you could spend 10 minutes increasing your Spanish vocabulary. Just like its computer-based counterparts, Byki for iPhone uses research-backed memory-locking techniques designed for adults learning second languages. All 3 modes, Preview It, Recognize It, and Produce It, are active, plus there’s an excellent new Quiz mode for those of us who have a penchant for testing ourselves.
Some of the things that make Byki a killer iPhone application:
- It’s just $7.99, and you get access to over 75 premium Byki lists in your language
- 3 learning modes plus the new quiz mode
- SlowSound technology to slow down audio playback of words and phrases
- Search your wordbank using the iPhone keyboard, turning iByki into a portable phrasebook
- Fast to use—jump into learning within seconds
- It’s very pretty, and we’ve added all the trademark iPhone finger-slidin’ functionality you’d expect from a slick new app!
Try it out, and if you like it, leave a comment on the iTunes store and let the rest of the world know there’s a premium language-learning application out there. Plus, keep your eye out for more languages!
