Experts agree that the most important part of learning a language is rapidly building a foundation of word and phrase knowledge. Byki is the fastest, most direct path to that goal it hacks into your memory and fills it with foreign words and phrases. Whereas traditional learning methods spread their learning out across a multitude of lessons and activities, Byki gets right down to business with a proven three step process: 1. Byki guides you through a review of the Arabic material you will learn. 2. Byki teaches you to recognize the written and spoken forms of each word. 3. Finally, you will be able to express yourself in Arabic by speaking or writing it on your own. In just your first session, the byki 3-step process will teach you 100 critical Quickstart phrases for use in common, real-life situations. Most products take a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching languages. Byki provides a personalized path to success based on your own strengths and weaknesses. It recognizes the material you learn quickly and takes note of those items that give you more trouble. Byki then maximizes the time you dedicate to language learning by focusing your efforts on the items that you find more challenging, without wasting your time on those you learn with ease. You will see how well the Byki personalized learning system works as you track your progress through Learned Items charting and multiple testing options, including written, listening comprehension, dictation and more. Additional games and activities will provide a fun way to cement your knowledge and pronunciation practice will help perfect your accent.Thinking Of Upgrading Your Software?
Think Again!
No, I don't mean "don't do it" I mean think again.
Why do you want to upgrade and who will it affect? I recently had to make that decision myself about upgrading from Office 2002, so I am sharing my own thought processes.
5 Things to Consider:
1. Others Will others be affected by the change? Will employees, vendors, customers, clients or service providers, have difficulties interfacing with you? Remember, if you make it difficult for people to work with you, they may choose to go elsewhere!
2. Compatibility Are there programs that you simply must use in the course of your business? Will the new software be compatible? If file sharing is something you do, will others that share your files have problems accessing what you have done with their older versions of the same program?
3. "Buggy" Software
Some software is notoriously "buggy" when first released. Others work like a charm. Do your homework. If the one you are considering is one that has a tendency to be "buggy" do you have the patience to work through the problems until a service pack is provided to address those issues? If not, you may want to wait until those issues have been addressed.
4. Opinions
If you belong to a network of people in your industry, ask their opinion. Get a consensus based on people with your same skill level and level of patience. Is this something you can quickly pick up on your own, or are you going to need to take a class or e-course to bring yourself up to speed?
5. New and/or multiple computers
This is the one case where it is more important (from a financial standpoint) to determine if you should downgrade the new computer or upgrade the old, or perhaps run both versions on different computers. Think long and hard how you can best serve: Your customer base, your patience level, and your personal learning curve. If you have one or more computers running on an older platform it may be financially sound to consider a downgrade for the newer computer. On the other hand, having the ability to switch back and forth from older to newer might make it a win-win.
Ultimately, the decision is yours! As for myself, I made the decision to go with the newer software. This decision was made because I had to replace my desktop and my laptop within a few months of each other. Both computers came with Vista. I asked my colleagues for their advice and several of them have said, once they got used to it, they preferred Office 2007 to older versions. Fortunately, my client base is such that an upgrade will go unnoticed. I considered taking classes through the local Adult Education, but have set that on the back burner for now. I know from past experience this is a great resource for bringing my skill level up to date.
Community Colleges and Adult Education: A great way to increase your awareness and update your skills. Using your favorite search engine, type in the name of your city and either "Adult Education" or "Community College" to find a school close to you. Most will have the curriculum online and many offer online courses as well.
