Overall, I'd say that BYKI is a useful and versatile flashcard program. Transparent Language has an enormous library of languages and they offer BYKI for dozens and dozens of languages, some very obscure and some for which there are no other published language programs! And they are regularly adding new ones. Its supporting web site offers free access to more language vocabulary and phrase lists that you can download into your BYKI program. Try it; you’ll like it! (5 out of 5) Spanish instructors should show this program to all students regardless of age or ability.

Methodology[edit]

Transparent Language’s products are developed based on the declarative method of learning. The human brain has two memory systems: declarative and procedural.^{[citation needed]} The declarative system is responsible for remembering facts (such as words, phrases, or dates) while the procedural system learns skills (such as riding a bike). Language learning depends on both of these systems, as vocabulary is learned declaratively, and the associated grammar rules are learned procedurally by recognizing implicit patterns in the vocabulary and phrases learned. Backed by this linguistic research, the company holds the position that vocabulary is more fundamental to language learning than grammar.^[2]

Since declarative items are best learned through repeated exposure, Transparent Language programs track learning and employ an algorithm to repeat vocabulary at the appropriate intervals to ensure memorization, a practice known as spaced repetition. A vocabulary item must be repeated several times to be considered “learned”, and after a specific period of time, these “learned” items must be refreshed in order to be committed to the memory.^[3]

Products and services[edit]

Transparent Language partners with more than 12,000 K-12 schools, universities, and libraries to offer its language learning products to students and communities. These institutions integrate Transparent Language Online into their classroom instruction or provide access to the program in their resource libraries. The company also has a substantial involvement in government language learning programs.

The Essentials course is a language acquisition course designed to help users communicate in a foreign language in everyday life or while traveling. The 30 lesson course is available in 33 languages, and covers vocabulary and phrases relevant to topics such as going shopping, dealing with money, getting help in an emergency, and asking for directions.Essentials courses are available as part of Transparent Language Online or Transparent Connect.

The CL-150 is a growing suite of applications and content for the acquisition and sustainment of language for specialized government purposes. Available exclusively through the CL-150 is Rapid Rote, a language instruction and learning system available through a web portal which can also sync learning materials and user progress to desktop and handheld devices.

Heritage and Endangered Language Program[edit]

Transparent Language launched the Heritage and Endangered Language Program (HELP) to give back to the language community.Through this program, Transparent Language offers free support to organizations to create software programs for less commonly taught or endangered languages. The company has partnered Grassroots Indigenous Multimedia to preserve the Native American language Ojibwe, and has worked with BASAbali to create a course for Balinese, a threatened language spoken on the Indonesian island of Bali. The program equips these partners with tools to continue teaching their language of interest, while also exposing the language to the entire Transparent Language user base.^[5]The CEO, Michael Quinlan, explains Transparent Language's commitment to this initiative in this way: 'We live in an age of global interaction. No language is so small that no one needs to learn it. If we could, we would provide learning material for all 7,000 languages in the world.' ^[6]

In April 2013, Transparent Language announced the launch of the 7000 Languages Project. The initiative replaces and expands upon the former Heritage and Endangered Language Program in an effort to provide the company's language learning technology and platforms to under-resourced languages, in conjunction with NCOLCTL.^[7]
