Phoenix Software announces Transparent Language Premium Edition products for fast language learning

Phoenix Software has announced the local availability of Transparent Language Premium Edition products for learning French, Spanish, German and Italian.

The Transparent Language Premium Edition combines the two methods needed to achieve language proficiency - mastering critical vocabulary and using real language in natural context. This interactive self-study program offers a simple and engaging multimedia learning environment, providing guidance while leaving learners to control their own learning pace.

The Transparent Language System's main program screen is modelled after a book for simplicity, and a fun interactive experience. The book interface provides easy-to-follow chapters and pages for lessons to help navigate around the program. If you don't know where to begin, Transparent recommends starting with Byki. This flashcard program can help learn more than 1 000 words and phrases to build a solid vocabulary base.

Then users can move on to take the vocabulary they have learned and apply it to the lessons in the Transparent Language System. In that program, they can improve their listening, reading, grammar, and speaking skills. Lessons can be done in the recommended order or, if they prefer, one can jump around to customise a learning experience.

Exceptional listening and speaking skills can be developed through Conversation Practice, as well as numerous other activities. Pronunciation can be perfected by recording the user's voice and comparing it to a native speaker.

The Premium Edition comes with dozens of Byki Pod MP3 files. These files can be used on an iPhone, iPod touch, iPod nano, or any other MP3 player.

Transparent Language Premium Edition is available from leading retailers countrywide at a recommended retail price of R399.99.
