Editor's Notes
I couldn’t grab the whole menu – there’s also: Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, VietnameseThere’s also a small but growing selection of new and classic titles in foreign languages.
I selected Italian from the menu – and OverDrive’s default display within a browse topic is “Date Added to Site” you can resort using the link across the top of the displayed list of titles. It will also tell you how many titles were retrieved in our case it’s 36.For each title on the list screen you’ll be able to see what formats are available and devices support. You can also see if a title’s available for checkout. You can limit to just the titles available RIGHT NOW with the check box at the top.
Byki – Stands for Before You Know It. There’s a flash card component, spoken pronunciation guides, social media aspects for interaction, and the standard grammar/text book type learning.
** I’d like to take over and do a live demonstration at this point** So they can hear the lesson, ask questions and get the full walk through – maybe 10mins. Afrikaans to Zulu and over 12 ESLs – You’ll default to whatever language you used last. Don’t freak out if you want to change it, just remember the drop down on the upper right.
Audio pronunciation guides you through all the flash cards. To slow down a pronunciation hit the turtle button.
