Experts agree that the most important part of learning a language is rapidly building a foundation of word and phrase knowledge. Byki is the fastest, most direct path to that goal — it “hacks” into your memory and fills it with foreign words and phrases. Whereas traditional learning methods spread their learning out across a multitude of lessons and activities, Byki gets right down to business with a proven three step process:

Byki guides you through a review of the Brazilian Portuguese material you will learn.
Byki teaches you to recognize the written and spoken forms of each word.
Finally, you will be able to express yourself in Brazilian Portuguese by speaking or writing it on your own.

In just your first session, the byki 3-step process will teach you 100 critical Quickstart phrases for use in common, real-life situations.

Maybe you've studied Brazilian Portuguese or another language before. If so, do you remember everything you learned? Using Byki ensures that you'll keep everything you learn in your long-term memory, forever. As you use the three step process, Byki will keep track of what you learn and use its Intelligent Refresh system to help you review the items you might forget along the way. Lots of language products provide a means to learn Brazilian Portuguese. Only Byki makes that knowledge permanent.

Most products take a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching languages. Byki provides a personalized path to success based on your own strengths and weaknesses. It recognizes the material you learn quickly and takes note of those items that give you more trouble. Byki then maximizes the time you dedicate to language learning by focusing your efforts on the items that you find more challenging, without wasting your time on those you learn with ease.

You will see how well the Byki personalized learning system works as you track your progress through Learned Items charting and multiple testing options, including written, listening comprehension, dictation and more. Additional games and activities will provide a fun way to cement your knowledge and pronunciation practice will help perfect your accent.

More than just software, Byki comes with a full set of features for learning away from your computer. BykiPod MP3 audio files work with your iPod or other MP3 player. Printable flash cards let you take your learning on the go and learn Brazilian Portuguese anywhere.

Byki isn't just a set of content. It's a tool. Once you finish learning the 2000 words and 500 phrases included in Byki Deluxe, you can keep using Byki to learn any content you can imagine. Create vocabulary lists from textbooks or dictionaries. Study key phrases you find in articles, videos, or the web. The possibilities are endless for creating your own Byki lists.

Once you've made some Byki lists, share them with our online community at Byki.com ListCentral. ListCentral also provides a great resource for finding additional learning materials in dozens of languages posted by Byki users from all over the world.
