Ludyrics
Ludyrics is a playful way to learn with lyrics — ludic + lyrics — where music meets learning. It's a free platform for people who would rather learn with real songs and videos than with dry exercises. We turn subtitles and lyrics into an active experience, so you can follow what is being said, notice useful words and phrases, and build confidence with the language as it is actually used.
How does it work?
Browse our catalog of music-first videos across multiple genres and languages. Pick something that catches your ear, hit play, and follow along with the subtitles. When you're ready, switch to game mode: we'll hide some words — or all of them! — and challenge you to type them in as you listen.
What makes Ludyrics different is that you do more than watch passively. Choose your difficulty level, pick between dictation and multiple choice, guess the missing words, and stay mentally involved while the video plays. That playful layer helps practice feel lighter, more natural, and more memorable.

Our philosophy
Each video is here to help you practice listening, reading, and vocabulary in a way that feels natural. Most of the experience is music-first, but you'll also find some interviews, conversations, and other everyday speech. Whether you're learning for travel, work, family, or simply because you enjoy discovering a new language, we believe learning should feel less like homework and more like something you actually enjoy. Our platform is free, open, and community-driven.
