Here's some good news for iPhone users! Now you can download a free iPhone app from BYKI that will allow you to study our Cajun French lists on your phone. To get started, download a BYKI language app. The one for Haitian Creole is free (a wonderful service that BYKI offers to assist those who want to pick up Haitian Creole before they go over to help with earthquake relief efforts). The 15 language "sampler" is also a free download. If you prefer, you can choose to download any of a number of other individual language apps for $7.99. It doesn't matter which of these you choose. The important thing is to get a version of the app on your iPhone. Many thanks to LSU Cajun French student Steven Young for letting me know about this learning opportunity. According to Steven, here are the steps required to get the Cajun French lists from the BYKI web site onto your phone: 1) If you haven't already done so, create an account and then sign in on the BYKI List Central Community website. 2) To quickly access all of our Cajun French lists, type amandalafleur in the "Search" box. This will pull up all the lists we have created for Cajun French learners, including some specialized lists that go with lessons taught at LSU. 3) Next, click on the list that you want; scroll down and click where it says "add the list to my favorites." 4) Open the BYKI app on your iPhone, go to "Downloads", and select "List Central." It will contain each list that you added to your favorites. 5) Click the blue icon beside each list to download it, and it will be saved along with all of the other lists that you have, which you go to by clicking "Learn." (Note: The picture shown with this article is a generic clip from the Internet so that you can see what the interface looks like. It is not from a Louisiana French BYKI list. In Louisiana, ice cream is called la crème glacée. La glace is ice. |
