The Humboldt Public Library, in partnership with Transparent Language (Nashua, NH) and Recorded Books (Prince Frederick, MD), is pleased to announce the introduction of Byki® Online Library Edition, a powerful new online language-learning system designed specifically for use by the patrons of public libraries.

Byki, short for “Before You Know It,” is a rapid learning system employing spaced interval repetition. The Byki learning method takes users through a series of simple steps to memorize words and phrases in a new language, including their meanings and proper pronunciation, in the shortest possible time.

Available for learning over 70 languages, library patrons are able to access the Byki Online system from inside or outside of the library, via the web browser on Windows and Mac computers.  Users will have a variety of high quality learning options that build listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. In addition, Byki includes Advanced Pronunciation Analysis to help users perfect their pronunciation skills. Individual progress tracking and assessment tests help identify areas for improvement and move users in the right direction.

In addition to Byki Online’s advanced learning tools, users will have access to an array of online language and cultural resources including one click access to Facebook and Twitter language communities as well as Byki language Blogs featuring a collection of articles covering the language and the culture that surrounds it. Byki Online is designed to be very low maintenance and easy to use.

The following link will provide you with useful information about Byki: http://www.recordedbooks.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=rb.bykionline_lib_all

You will need to contact the libary to create your account and get your own personal User Name and Password. Once that's done, click on the icon below to begin your program.

PLAYAWAY DEVICES ARE AVAILABLE AT YOUR HPL!




These are the small little audio devices and each one holds the audio version of just one book. There are about three buttons to push and very simple directions to follow. You can attach your own earbud, put the little gismo in your pocket and listen to the story unfold while you wash dishes, mow the lawn or ride on a stationary bike. Give one a try the next time you face an unpleasant household chore. If you don’t have your own earbuds, we’ll sell you a set for $1.00.
