Visitors Center

In my previous post I mentioned that I would be adding visitor contribution pages to the site. In addition to the one mentioned, I've since added pages on language learning experiences, visitor Pimsleur reviews and foreign language experiences. These pages (and many more to follow) can all be found at the Visitors Center on the site.

Your contributions will become a web page on the site for other language learners to read, learn from and comment on. This will be very exciting as contributions begin to come in and we can all learn from each others experiences!

Byki and Visitor Contributions

In an effort to allow visitors to contribute to the site, I have added a Visitors Learning Tips page. This is just the first of many pages where visitors to the site can add their language learning experiences, reviews etc.

Many visitors in the past have asked me for more information on why and how I built the site. I have included an About Language Learning Advisor page which explains a little about it. I will add more info on this in the future. (Note: there are affiliate links on that page to my site host -I include those because I really do believe in their business. Without them, my site never exists!)

Again, Transparent Language has added languages to their list of BYKIs. Their latest additions are : Bengali, Bosnian, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Icelandic, and Thai. They are really expanding their languages at a great pace. If you don't have BYKI Lite yet, get it.

Farsi and Living Language

Farsi is a significant and influential language. It has taken me far too long to include a page on the site. I've said it before and I'll say it again - so many languages, so little time.

I've also added a review of Living Language Basic Complete coursebook/audio/dictionary set. It's available for Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic and Chinese. It's a neat and inexpensive little set that is widely available. For the money, it's probably the best value language learning product on the market.

Even More Byki Languages

Transparent Language has added 6 more languages to the list available for BYKI. Chechen, Estonian, Luxembourgish, Mongolian, Pashto, and Urdu. It's long overdue for Urdu, I say.

The most recent Newsletter has gone out. It's been a long time since the last issue, but I'll send them out more regularly now. My apologies to all who have waited on it!
