Sing your English!

If you love music and want to improve your English, this website is for you: Lyrics Training

You don't have to sign up. Just search your favourite song, select a level and start the game.

The song will play then it will stop for you to fill in the missing word. If you can't hear the word or spell it correctly it will play it for you again. If you just can't get it, don't worry, you can check the answer. When you feel more confident increase your level and play again.

The game is so much fun, you won't believe you've been learning!

If you can't find a song to choose, why not try a happy song like Pharrell William's popular song "Happy" and tap along!
