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. More than 3 million people around the world already
use Byki, which currently comes in more than 70 languages.
