I’m very pleased with the program. It’s nice to go step by step:
First you listen – then you play the words one at a time, slowly. I haven’t used the MP3-files a lot. E-mail coaching is very motivating. It puts you under pressure in a nice way – makes you wanna complete this course!

I feel that this program is an efficient way of learning a language – especially when it comes to practical training in talking. During my training on bike I used to listen to the MP3 files in French.
My only (scanty) experience with French is based on mere textbook-knowledge from the time I went to high school. Your way of introducing French paid off much quicker due to its variation and intensity.
Geir
Since I’ve moved to Cameroon, I’ve been taking French lessons and at the same time I’ve used my spare time to do a lot of talking in French. This has shown to be a quite efficient way to learn French. In addition, the French spoken in this country is rather simple and somewhat different from the French spoken in France. That’s why your course has been a success. It has made me want to learn French the way it’s spoken in its origin.
Marius
I managed to learn enough French in order to make myself understood in France. I’ve been using the MP3 player going to work – and on hiking trips.
Helge
I’m very satisfied with your follow-up. Unfortunately I’m traveling a lot and subsequently I ran into some problems keeping up the pace. This is a great way to learn a language. I’ve used the MP3s while lying on the couch and occasionally during workouts. This is working well for me, usually I don’t have time to take normal classes – learning this way provides me with the opportunity to do my own day-to-day planning.
Espen
I’m very pleased indeed. I wear my headset during workouts listening to the MP3 files. Very convenient. This course has been the best course I’ve ever attended.
Asbjorn
This software is awesome! I’ve used the MP3s doing housework, during workouts – in fact everywhere possible. By the way – BYKI is absolutely brilliant. Getting daily/weekly reminders by e-mail is a really good help – this way my motivation improves considerably although I find it a little hard sometimes to keep up. As I said before, Transparent Language is the best language course system I’ve ever been introduced to – actually I’ve got both the Complete as well as the Premium versions. As soon as I master French and Spanish sufficiently, I’ll probably try out a third language.
Are
This program is very diversified and user-friendly. I’ve already learned some and there’s more to be learned. Excellent software. Follow-up by e-mail is a clever move – I appreciate the personal touch given this way. This course is inspiring and motivating.
Ingunn
I’m very happy with this course – what a great way to learn a language. MP3 is handy whenever I’m lying on the couch or when I’m outside relaxing. Receiving coaching by e-mail is very important to me. It sets up a structure and guides me to better routines during my process of learning.
Previously I’ve attended 3 different courses in French (ordinary teaching in a classroom) without any success. Now, I’ve finally found a method which suits me and gives me the feeling that I’m actually learning something.
Jan-Erik
A very, very good program. I’ve done 2 courses so far. Reimar, you’re a very skilled motivator. I’ve spread the word among friends and teaching colleagues – letting them know about this great method. It’s effective getting your daily dose like this – and the coaching staff is superb. Doing a course this way is definitely the most efficient way I’ve experienced ever. I am planning to implement this input in my daily work as a teacher.
Anne
I’m so pleased with this course and the way to use it. I’ve downloaded quite a few files on my iPod. Doing this allows me to practice when going to work, during vacation and so on. I’ve tried taking ordinary classroom lessons before this but it’s quite hard to keep up when you’re working in shifts. Here I can do French whenever I want to.
Birgitte
Using a combination of sound, picture and writing represents a very educational approach of teaching, which is suited for nearly everybody. Joining this program allowed me to learn a great deal of French – especially when it comes to the part of understanding. The MP3 files are the most important feature of the learning process, I think. I stored the vocabulary onto my MP3 player. It makes it possible for me to play and listen whenever I’m traveling, taking a walk or doing my daily exercises.
I’ve tried learning a language in several ways: class teaching, cassettes, books/cd’s, etc. Using the Transparent Language method has proven to be the most efficient way of learning a language – at least to me. The effect would have been even bigger if it had been possible to join a group of people from one’s own geographical region – for support and inspiration, things like that.
Hilde
This course is doing wonders for me. I’ve learned a lot, but the program still has more in store for me – which is good!
Lars
This is an easy-learning program containing lots of really good exercises. My vocabulary has grown larger. Doing scheduled homework does the trick for me. I wouldn’t have been able to manage my time properly to get the work done, otherwise. I’ve tried other kinds of language courses but none of them have shown to be as effective as this one – even though you’re left on your own, so to say. Being in the situation of studying solo, group coaching turned out to be an ideal tool.
Kari
I listen to the MP3 files when I’m going for a walk. This system doesn’t really work when I’m running though. I used to run 3-4 times a week. Now I prefer doing my walking and listening simultaneously. I definitely feel an improvement: now I can read and even understand the real estate ads in French (my favorite reading, by the way!) – So I do rather well I think.
I bought a Linguaphone course consisting of 8 CD’s, 4 books and a video, but the level was way to high. Due to my poor understanding I quickly lost interest. I’ll try to pick up the thread again later when I’ve learned some more French. The Language Infusion course is a lot more interesting when you compare the two.
Eirik
I’m learning French – and so far I’m very excited. Previously, but as an adult, I’ve done a basic course in Spanish in the “ordinary” class-room way. This worked very well for me, too. Maybe I like this way better, doing a course.
Mari-Anne
I’m so happy with this course. It does take an effort, but the substance is extensive. I like the content and the structure the lessons show. It’s motivating to know it’s there on your computer – already for you when the occasion of doing some work pops up.
Sven
I’m over-thrilled with this software. In addition I’ve also learned a lot – what a great program! One thing I like above all is the coaching part. You get an constant reminder to do your homework. Normally, I wouldn’t have done so much reading on my own. I believe that I’ve learned so much more using Language Infusion compared to the normal way of being taught. (continuation school and advanced students courses). BYKI is a terrific way to learn new words and phrases – and guess what? Nearly all of it sticks – even after a while!
Solveig
As I’m getting more and more skilled using this program I’m getting more and more wrapped up in new ways of learning by using the Language Infusion program, as well. I’m very pleased. At the same time I’m doing an e-course the usual classroom-way as a supplement.
Kirsti
I’m very pleased with the software. I make sure to keep my MP3 player on my bedside table. Initially I’ll listen and then I will have a nice conversation with myself when I go to bed and when I get up. Compared to other ways of learning? It’s difficult to say which way is the best. Maybe a combination over time, I would say. Getting the language directly in your ear like this is perhaps better.
Sverre
This is an excellent course – one gets easily motivated. Over the years I’ve done a course in France (every day for 2 months) and an intensive University – evening course (100 hours) as well. Language Infusion is great fun and user-friendly. It should be possible, though, to get the program in Norwegian as basic language, too – not everybody have the sufficient English skills to do the course, I think. MP3 is a good feature. Enjoying myself, I ended up doing 2 hours of practicing instead of half an hour according to my schedule! This is why Language Infusion is the best method I’ve encountered during my 40 years of learning – and I’ve had plenty of experience on that account.
Trude
I’m very happy now that I’ve learned how to use the program. I visited France this Easter and greatly benefited from what I had already learned. I played around with the MP3 a little – could have used it more though, preferably at home or when out walking. I’m an English teacher myself (primary school) and I think this is a very efficient and useful way of learning a language.
Leila
This makes a nice supplement to the course I’m already doing. BYKI is especially great. Being introduced to a series of well-composed exercises literally fine tunes your linguistic motor coordination. Coaching helps you focus on certain aspects of the language.
Bent
The software works very well on more than one computer – I’m so pleased. The both of us, my husband and I, use the program jointly but have our own separate computer. So far I’ve learned a lot but I still have a lot more to learn. I’ve been using the MP3 files when ever I’ve been on my way in my car – or during work-out. My husband uses the MP3-files during relaxation on the couch. I must admit that I haven’t been working real hard – I could have done more – but I chose to invest my time in getting to know the main computer program instead. I see now that working with the MP3 files does give a lot in return. I will be looking forward to using that option in the future.
Astrid Johanne
I must say that this software is working great regardless being installed on a Mac or a normal computer – which I’ve also tried. Keeping up motivation is the hard bit, though:) ….but so far I’m okay. Receiving coaching every second day is very profitable. I sort of depend upon this in order to complete this course on my own. I’ve attended class teachings before but this way using the Language Infusion method works better for me when it comes to learning French.
May Helen
Fantastic software. Nothings really new – but my old French skills are undergoing some kind of revival – French grammar which I thought was long forgotten – starts popping up. This course is way better than anything else – simply because it triggers one’s brain and automatically puts it in a learning mode.
Nina
Oh yeah – I’m very satisfied. I’m fully capable of having a conversation in the language which I’ve learned by the means of Language Infusion. I’ve tried out several kinds of language courses and even though I picked up a little bit – it was Language Infusion in the end that showed to be the most efficient way of learning a language in my case.
