Transparent Language Inc. announced today the launch of five new Byki for iPhone language applications, offering users the possibility to learn English via the already popular Byki product line. According to the company, each of the new software solutions comes with new ways for iPhone and iPod touch users to learn more than 1,000 English words and phrases.

The company also notes that its solutions have been already used by a number of more than 3 million English speaking language-learners for the apprehension of another language. “Now speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can apply the same great method to learn English,” the company adds.

The features list of Byki for iPhone includes: Flash Card Activities – Experience the fun, effective and curiously addictive, flash card-based memorization system for learning language. Twitter Integration – See how the words and phrases you are learning are used in real-time, real-world communication, including slang and colloquial usage. Byki Quizzes - Test your newly acquired knowledge. Statistics – Track your progress with statistics on all of the items you have learned. Perfect Recall – The proprietary presentation algorithm recognizes which items of vocabulary you are struggling with and presents these more often while showing you known items less frequently. SlowSound – Slow down the native speaker sound to hear every nuance, reproduce, and master proper pronunciation. Searchable Phrasebook – Search in English or in your native language to quickly find meanings for words and phrases of which you are unsure.

The Byki solutions come with a fully localized learning environment, something that is not present with other similar solutions. The interface of the application, as well as the learning support material, are presented in the user's native language, something that can easily prove that Byki is the ideal solution for beginners with no previous English knowledge. “The Byki experience has been developed to maximize the amount of material learned for the time spent,” says Michael Quinlan, CEO of Transparent Language. “We are very pleased to offer English learners the same fast and effective Byki learning methodology that we have provided to English speakers learning foreign languages on the iPhone.”
