Learn languages with music you love Learn Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Korean, German, Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Turkish, Finnish, Romanian and Ukrainian. Turn the songs you already play into language lessons, using lyrics from the artists you actually listen to. You're discovering new music, playing lyric games, and singing along. You're also practicing vocabulary, grammar and sentence patterns, and getting pronunciation practice every time you sing. That's the whole idea: learn a language during time you were going to spend on music anyway. Achieve your language-learning goals by listening to music You already listen to music for hours every day. That same time can move you toward your goals instead. Find your next favorite artist Bored with your current playlist? Discover new artists while you learn. Culture comes with the language Music carries the culture a language lives in. A song tells a story, and a story is easier to remember than a word list. Everything you need to follow a song Tried listening to music in your target language and lost the thread? Every song has full lyrics, translations and explanations, so you can follow along. Song too fast? Line-by-line mode lets you take it at your own pace.

Different lesson types give you more ways to practice them. Learn with over 49,000 songs across 14 languages Songs from artists you already follow are probably here. If one is missing, request it and we'll try to add it. It takes 600 to 2000 hours to learn a language. This is a way to spend some of them on music.
