Byki Online: Wilton Library is pleased to announce the introduction of Byki Online Library Edition, a powerful new online language-learning system designed specifically for use by patrons of public libraries. Byki, short for “Before You Know It,” is a rapid learning system employing spaced interval repetition. The Byki method takes users through a series of simple steps to memorize words and phrases in a new language, including their meanings and proper pronunciation, in the shortest possible time. Available for learning over 70 languages, patrons are able to access the Byki Online system from inside or outside the library, on Windows or Mac computers. [Available to all Wilton residents with current Wilton library cards.] Follow these easy steps to begin learning a new language:
