Learn Greek, English or 100 others quickly and cheaply

I came across this great software Language Learning Course for my visitors to this blog who come here for the Modern Greek resources. It’s not that easy to find good software with games, mp3 audio you can use on your ipod, vocabulary tools and flashcards and this one is very reasonably priced at $49.95 – and currently carrying a 20% discount so it is only $39.95

Greek BYKI 3.6 Greek BYKI 3.6“For beginners to advanced learners, Greek Before You Know It is the simple and effective way to master Greek with Perfect Recall, guaranteed! Whether for business, travel, school or personal enjoyment, you’ll quickly learn to understand and speak 1,000 common Greek words and 250 essential phrases.”

They also have a downloadable course which helps you learn thousands of words in Greek quickly and easily with a huge number of activities and games. Dialogues with native speaker audio, pronunciation practice, and advanced speech analysis will help you make really good progress with your Greek in next to no time. The downloads which I think they offer for nearly all the languages are only $19.95 and you can get them right away.
For more Modern Greek resources see my page here.

Transparent also provide similar software and download courses for over 100 other languages including English with many resources suitable for kids as well as adults. Their courses contain everything you need to learn at home and are perfect resources for EFL/ESL teachers and travellers heading off to foreign lands to take up a post. I think these sort of courses are also very nice for shy students who are a bit worried about their speaking – you can practice pronunciation quietly on your own and gain a lot of confidence and accuracy that way.

They have a Total Immersion English programme and also two products especially for Spanish speaking students of English. You have to look a bit for the English version. On the left hand side of the page you will see a short list of languages and then below it “Other Languages” – go there to find English and all the others listed.

  1. I am searching for a programme for afghanistani children who wish to learn their native Language which is FARSI. Do you have any on line or CD appropriate to this????????

  2. Thank you will await result with interest.

  3. Hello Ivan
    The Transparent English software above has a Farsi version (click the link to go to their site). I also found lots more by doing a Google search for ‘learn Farsi online’. There were many results so I won’t put them all here but if you try the search and look through some of the sites I hope you will find some resources that are good for the kids. It looks as if Afghans speak a slightly different version than Iranians (called Dari) but I have no idea if that is a big problem. Good luck!
