Canary is a language learning app powered by music. Pick a song, see real-time translations, save words to your vocabulary list, sing karaoke to practice pronunciation, take quizzes on songs, and practice with others!
Love the concept! Singing has really helped my English and Cantonese, but I found traditional French learning a bit too serious. This cute app is exactly what I needed!
Just gave it a try—French songs are tough (I'm still stuck on 'Hélène' haha 🤣), but the karaoke mode with subtitles is super fun. Can't wait to master a song and record a video!
One small piece of feedback: The pronunciation for individual words doesn't sound fully native yet. I noticed this specifically with 'rêve' and 'histoire'. Hope this helps!

@iwineday thank you so much for the feedback! That's what I need! We will work on working on those pronunciation
I tried two songs to learn French. The text was very easy to follow and I totally believe in the power of learning with music. I did think the quiz was a bit hard so maybe an extra feature to have the quiz based on a level you decide or gets decided on with a quiz when you register would be a great. Keep up the good work and please keep it free for early adopters like me! ;)

That's a really great idea @bengue_z. I always thought learning another language the traditional way with textbooks was so boring. I honestly learned english through music + watching tv series with subtitles. I was wondering what is your source for the tunes? Is it pulling it from something like a Spotify API or others? Congrats on the product!
