Transparent Language Review
Transparent Language™ software is a software program to help you learn a language. It is available in four different ways.
Before you know it Deluxe
Before you know it is for the beginner user. It is available in the following languages as well as French, Chinese, and Spanish for business.
| Afrikaans Albanian Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Belorussian Bengali Bosnian Chechen Chinese Croatian Czech Danish |
Dutch English Estonian Farsi Finnish French Georgian German Greek Haitian Creole Hausa Hebrew Hindi |
Hungarian Indonesian Icelandic Irish Italian Japanese Kazakh Korean Latin Latvian Lithuanian Luxembourgish Macedonian |
Malay Portuguese Portuguese |
Swahili Swedish Tagalog Thai Turkish Turkmen Tuvan Ukrainian Urdu Uzbek Vietnamese Zulu |
It is software that you are able to customize based on what you want to learn. It uses native speakers in conversations to introduce new words for you and constantly monitors your progress to adjust the program to your needs.
It is definitely something new with the customization. You don’t have to worry about it go too fast and difficult for you or too slow.
Another great feature is that you can create your own vocabulary flash cards in the program and many activities for practice. When learning a foreign language, practice in your target language is the key.
An added bonus is that you can take this program anywhere with the BYKI Deluxe. It allows you to use it on your pocket PC, PDA, or mp3 player. I love this feature for when I am away from my computer but still want to learn some of the language. Overall, this is a great program for the beginner. Once you master it, you should move on to Learn language now! Learn Language Now!™ Is available in the following languages:
|
Arabic |
Hebrew Italian Irish Japanese Latin |
Polish Portuguese Russian Spanish Swedish |
Learn language now! uses a language immersion technique which is one of the fastest ways to learn a language. It is great to use if you are an intermediate learner or to use after Before you know it Deluxe.
In order to immerse you in the language, they use text, video, and stories to teach you. It uses real content from that language, not just small videos they made up. It goes beyond just watching a movie in your target language because it uses the content of that video interactively to force you to learn the language.
It gives you thousands of new words and much of the same but more advanced features as in the previous course including flash cards, activities, and mp3 capability. There is also interactive conversational practice which allows you to use the language and get your pronunciation right.
This is an excellent program that can really take you far in your target language. It different from other software programs and in all the right ways. It is also much cheaper than many of the other programs out there.
Everywhere audio course
If you are looking for an audio program, you should look into the Everywhere audio course. It is ideal for those on the run or who have long commutes and can’t find the time to get to a computer often enough. It is available in French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Japanese.
There are 35 Lessons for Beginners to Intermediate Learners on 5 Audio CDs. The course is entirely audio and requires no reading. As a bonus, they do include Before you know it companion flash cards.
Each lesson begins with vocabulary and grammar introduction and then follows with native conversations. This is good for the busy learner, but it is also great as a supplement to the other programs or anything else you might be using.
Complete Learning Suites
If all of these programs appeal to you, you can pick up the Complete learning Suite available in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
You will get:
· Learn Language Now! – the top rated program that leverages the Transparent method. Immerse yourself in language articles and videos to learn quickly.
· Audio Course – a complete audio learning course on 5 CDs.
· Before You know It – learn phrases and vocabulary with Perfect Recall in a flash.
· Translation Dictionaries – access thousands of words and their translations.
The best part about the suite is that you save about $60 than if you where going to get each separately. Even if you only wanted the first two courses and not the audio, you would still save money by getting the suite, plus a bonus.
Transparen language is something that was new to me. I have been very impressed with it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a language. You can use it by itself or with other supplements. Either way, there is no doubt you will learn a lot!
