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!

can you import any song from YouTube or is there a limited selection? Also, will the app eventually give feedback on grammar in addition to pronunciation?
Canary
@haiqa_irfan You can search any song on YouTube and import it directly in the app :)
For feedback: today we focus mainly on pronunciation through karaoke and repetition. Grammar feedback is on the roadmap tho!
This is such a fun way to learn! Textbooks are boring, but lyrics stick. My biggest question with music apps is always licensing. Does Canary integrate with my existing Spotify/Apple Music account to play the tracks, or do you handle the licensing directly within the app?
Canary
@liusally4 We don’t host or distribute music; we rely on official YouTube videos and build the learning experience around them. Licensing is something we’re being very intentional about as we scale.

I’ll be honest - when I first joined the team as a developer, I didn’t fully understand this product. I was there to do the work.
Over time, though, it grew on me. My wife immediately connected with the idea though, saying how she could easily learn anything through music - and that’s when it clicked for me too.
I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish, and through Canary I’ve already picked up real words and phrases just by engaging with songs I actually enjoy.
That being said, I think Canary makes language learning fit into something people already do every day: listening to music.
I'm excited to see how Canary evolves
Canary
@samuel_kings love to have you on board Samuel!
Do you also offer some sort of gamification in the process of learning!
Canary
@anishsharma Yes, but it’s something we need to do better.
Right now we have daily and weekly leaderboards based on song quizzes, plus badges for milestones. It's cool, but we know it needs to be more fun and engaging, and that’s something I want to focus on!
Product Hunt Wrapped 2025
Music was how I picked up half my Spanish (shoutout to old Shakira). Real-time lyrics + quizzes sounds fun. Curious how you handle song rights and accents in karaoke? I’ll give the beta a spin tonight. Could be great for my rusty French.
Canary
@alexcloudstar hahah Love that yes Shakira is the best Spanish teacher.
On rights: we don’t host or distribute music files. We rely on YouTube videos for playback and build the learning experience (lyrics, quizzes, karaoke) around that, so we’re careful with licensing.
On accents: karaoke is currently about active practice, singing, recording yourself, and mimicking native cadence. We don’t score accents with AI yet, but pronunciation feedback is on our roadmap.
Hope you enjoy the beta! Let me know if you have any feedback!
Good. This tool makes the language learning process less tedious.
Canary
@adagao I agree!

The karaoke feature is a genius hook. Singing forces you to mimic the native cadence. 🎤 Regarding the pronunciation practice: does the app just play the lyrics, or is there an AI scoring layer that listens to my voice and tells me if my accent is off?
Canary
@yoang_loo Yesss that’s exactly how I see it, it’s way more fun to work on pronunciation by singing than by just repeating sentences.
And good call yes AI feedback is definitely on our roadmap. It’s a bit more challenging with singing recordings, but not impossible.
