ABOUT THE BYKI SYSTEM

Byki, formerly "Before You Know It," is a 3-Step, rapid learning system employing spaced interval repetition. Experts agree that the key to language learning is to first build a strong lexical foundation - a ready supply of words and phrases locked into one's memory. Byki is the fastest, most direct path to that goal. Byki takes users through three simple steps to memorize words and phrases in a new language, including their meanings and proper pronunciation, in the shortest possible time. Millions of people around the world already use Byki, which currently comes in more than 70 languages.
