Questions

Can you learn a language through songs?

Songs are one of the best ways to build vocabulary, pronunciation and listening. A chorus repeats the same words many times and the melody helps you remember them. Pair singing with a little grammar study and it sticks.

Which language is easiest to learn by singing?

Spanish is often the easiest to start with because it is spelled the way it sounds. Japanese songs are good for pronunciation, while Chinese, Korean and Japanese lists add pinyin or romanization to every word.

How do I use a Sing to Learn list?

Pick a language, read the "Words you'll learn" for a song, then tap Sing this. Your phone opens a free karaoke room with the song search ready; choose a lyrics video, sing the chorus a few times, then the whole song.
