CANARY is an amazing app! If you want to learn a language in a fun way, while being able to find people right there that you can practise with, such a plus. Music selection is great, you can save vocabulary & your progress, phrases, ur favorite songs, etc. U can even make your own song videos- such fun! You can interract with people via chat right there as well. I definitely suggest it. It's also beyond reasonable yearly membership- which is a plus if you're on a tight budget! Bisous

Absolutely love the design, features, quizzes and karaoke! I like that it shows you the lyrics + live translation so you can grasp the lyrics, pronunciation and understand what they are singing together and at your own pace. It's really cool that you can find songs by artist, genre, save your fav songs, look up songs you want to learn using audio recognition and even practise with other Canaries! Fantastic way to learn/ practise languages while tasting the essence of the culture through music!!

Been using Canary to learn French and it's actually pretty fun. I like the karaoke feature because I can pick up new phrases and understand sentence patterns while singing along. It doesn't really feel like studying. Hope you guys keep adding more songs in the future!
