Thai and Byki

I've added a page for Thai. Other language pages should be coming fairly steadily.

I've been including a link to a free vocabulary trainer from Transparent Language on many of the language pages on the site. It's a great way to begin learning a language for free. There is a version for many different languages. Free Before You Know It™ download

I've also updated the results on the Hardest Language to Learn Survey page.

New Pimsleur Courses

Simon and Schuster has been updating their Pimsleur line of products. They expanded their Farsi Compact course to a full 30 lesson Comprehensive level 1 course late in 2005. They have done the same for Czech, Korean and Thai, and they are adding a Comprehensive Level 1 course for Hindi in October. Other additions include Turkish Comprehensive Level 1 (in December 2006), Hebrew Level 2 and Eastern Arabic Level 2 in early 2007. Let's hope they continue to add to and expand on their current line of products. Personally, I would like to see a Swedish Comprehensive course, but I know there are other languages that are probably more lucrative for Simon and Schuster.
