How does Transparent work?
Transparent.com uses a “declarative first” approach to language learning, which helps build “a ready supply of words and phrases locked into the declarative memory,” a technique that neuroscientists and linguists agree is the foundation for language learning.
After completing the first session of the Byki program, you’ll have encountered dozens of words and phrases that you can use in real-life situations.
With a personalized system for learning, you’ll be able to track your progress and test your skills in different areas including writing, listening, comprehension, dictation and pronunciation.
