Free Download of Byki Irish for iPhone App on St. Patrick’s Day
Transparent Language today announced the release of its new iPhone language learning application - Byki Irish. Available for download at byki.com/iphone, the Byki Irish for iPhone (and iPod touch) app will be free on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17). After St. Patrick’s Day, Byki Irish will cost $7.99 for the first 30 days as a special introductory price and $9.99 from then on.
Byki Irish for iPhone comes with more than 1000 words and phrases, including some special vocabulary for St. Patrick’s Day, all taught through Byki’s rapid, 3-step learning process. Every word and phrase includes native speaker sound, and Byki Irish for iPhone includes the popular SlowSound function that allows users to slow down the audio to help perfect their pronunciation.
“Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day,” said Michael Quinlan, CEO of Transparent Language. “Now everyone can impress their friends by learning Irish, and all for free.”
Byki for iPhone also comes in eight other languages - Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Portuguese - all available at the iPhone app store. Byki Spanish and Byki French are currently the best selling iPhone language education apps in the U.K., and all the Byki language apps have been among the most popular iPhone language education apps in the U.S. Byki Irish is the newest addition, with more languages in the works.
ABOUT THE BYKI SYSTEM
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. Byki 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. More than 3 million people around the world already use Byki, which currently comes in more than 70 languages.
