Occitan and other new pages

Occitan, the language of the Troubadours, now has a page on the site - Learn Occitan. This is my White Elephant of languages. I'd love to learn it some day (particularly the Provencal dialect), but I don't have the time right now.

I've also added an About This Site page. There is some background on why I built the site, and also how I built it with affiliate links to SBI, the glorious website solution that makes my site possible.

More BYKI Languages

Transparent Language has added more languages to their list of languages available for BYKI. Recent additions include : Afrikaans, Finnish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Slovak, Swahili, Tuvan and Zulu.

BYKI (Before You Know It) is a great little flashcard program with audio that you can use to supplement your main language course. Use it to help learn and memorize new vocabulary or key phrases, practice pronunciation or just as a review. You can download a limited version for free, or you can add extra features if you upgrade to BYKI Deluxe.

Free Giveaway

I will be announcing the winner of the free giveaway at the end of July. Some lucky winner will receive a free language learning product for the language of their choice. I am still not 100% sure of what that product will be, but I am leaning toward Byki Deluxe or perhaps a choice of similarly priced products.

If you want a free shot at it just fill out any Language Survey or any other feedback or contact form on my site or sign up for the newsletter, and be sure to include your email address so that I can contact you.

Good Luck to all!
