Introduction

Learning a new language can be challenging, but what if you could learn through music? LyricsTraining is an interactive platform (https://lyricstraining.com/) that allows learners to learn a language by filling in the missing lyrics of popular songs or singing along. This method makes learning fun, engaging and immersive. In this post, we will explore the benefits of using LyricsTraining for language learning, as well as some of its limitations.



🎮 Selecting a Game Mode

LyricsTraining offers different difficulty levels to cater to learners of all stages:

  • Beginner – Fill in 10% of the words in the song.

  • Intermediate – Fill in 25% of the words.

  • Advanced – Fill in 50% of the words.

  • Expert – Fill in all the words (100%) – A true challenge!

This gradual difficulty scaling allows learners to start at a comfortable level and progressively improve their listening and vocabulary skills. The Expert mode is particularly beneficial for those looking to challenge themselves with full immersion.



🎵 How Lyrics Training Works

Lyrics training is simple and effective. The user selects a song in the target language, such as English. A music video with lyrics is then played. However, some words are missing!

Modes of Play:
Multiple Choice – Select the correct word from given options.

Typing Mode – Manually type in the missing words.


Karaoke Mode – Sing along with the full lyrics for pronunciation practice.


🎯 The Benefits of Using LyricsTraining for Language Learning

1. Self-learning
Users can choose their own songs, language and difficulty level, allowing them to progress at a pace that suits their individual needs and goals.

2. Personalized Content Selection
By choosing their favorite songs, learners are given the opportunity to have a more motivating and meaningful learning experience. This enhances engagement and makes learning feel less like a chore.

3. Instant feedback and adaptability
LyricsTraining provides instant feedback on errors, helping learners adjust and correct in real time. This helps learners develop self-correction skills.

⚠️ Limitations of LyricsTraining

While LyricsTraining is a great tool to learning English, it does have some limitations:
1. Limited Grammar Focus
The platform emphasizes vocabulary and listening, but does not explicitly teach grammar rules or sentence structure.

2. Accuracy of automatically generated lyrics
Lyrics may sometimes be incorrect or different from standard language usage.

3. Not a stand-alone learning tool
LyricsTraining is best suited as a complementary tool to structured learning methods such as textbooks, apps or courses.

  2. Hi Yao, I'm back again~ Still, your layout is really nice, it seems you are already forming your own style of posting a blog. To be honest, I wanted to choose this tool for exploring, too. But my other group member had chosen it, so I had to choose another one. After reading your post, I got to know this tool better, and I really like it because I love listening to music. Pay attention to students' interests and apply this in their language study really helpful and motivating.
