Looking for an inexpensive, easy way to supplement your foreign language class?
Check out byki (before you know it)...
This free download provides hundreds of flashcards, neatly organized, and clearly spoken in dozens of languages from Farsi to Japanese.
To enhance the functionality of the program, you could use it in conjunction with audacity,(another free product), to record your students speaking the language.

Gone are the cumbersome tape recorders. Students now can respond to verbal prompts from a CD on any computer, save their conversation as an MP3 file, and upload to Moodle for grading.
Advantages include the ability for students to work from home, a friendly interface, and conversational format. Not to mention the fact that the software is FREE.
