Learn a language through the songs you already love. Cántala turns any song on Spotify into a four-step learning loop. Listen, Learn, Test, Saved Words. Then chat with Melody, your singing frog, in the language you're picking up. LISTEN Karaoke-aligned lyrics roll past while the song plays. Tap any word to see what it means. The active line is highlighted; Melody reacts. LEARN We break the lyrics into vocabulary cards with translation and context. Tap along to lock the words in. TEST Spaced repetition on the words you saved. Multiple choice, meaning-match, type-it-yourself. Melody cheers when you nail a hard one and is visibly bummed when you miss your streak. She never lectures. SAVED WORDS Your living vocabulary, owned per language. Comes back when it's slipping. Stays gone when it's solid. CHAT Talk to Melody in your target language using words you have actually learned. No textbook drills, no role-play scripts, just a small daily conversation that gets longer as your vocab grows. LANGUAGES Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese and more to come. SPOTIFY PREMIUM REQUIRED FOR PLAYBACK Connect your Spotify account to unlock the song library. Playing full tracks requires Spotify Premium. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Spotify. PRIVACY Cántala only collects what we need to run the loop. No advertising trackers. No data sold or shared.
