If you’re learning Czech or English (any other languages) and want a more enjoyable way to practise listening and vocabulary, LyricsTraining is a brilliant free tool. It allows you to listen to songs and complete lyrics in a fun, interactive way.
Whether you’re working on your Czech listening skills or improving your English, this app can make language practice feel like play.
🎧 What Is LyricsTraining?
LyricsTraining is an online platform and mobile app where you listen to songs and fill in missing words in the lyrics. It’s available in many languages and suitable for different levels – from beginners to advanced learners.
You can choose from two main modes:
Write Mode – Type in the missing words.
Choice Mode – Choose the correct word from four options (great for beginners).
🇨🇿 How Can You Use It to Learn Czech?
Let’s say you’re studying Czech. Traditional listening materials can be slow or boring – but LyricsTraining offers real songs, used by native speakers. Here’s how you can make the most of it:
✔ Learn vocabulary in context
Instead of memorising individual words, you hear them used in a real situation – with emotions, rhythm and grammar.
✔ Improve listening and pronunciation
The more you listen, the more your ear recognises Czech sounds. If you sing along, you practise pronunciation too.
✔ Develop spelling and grammar naturally
Writing or choosing the correct words helps reinforce spelling and grammatical patterns (e.g. verb endings, cases).
🌟 Czech Song Examples
Here are a few Czech songs you can try, suitable for learners from A2–B2 level:
🎶 František - Buty (A2+)
🎶 Ty A Já - Kryštof (A2+)
🎶 Cesta – Kryštof & Tomáš Klus (B2+)
🎶 Brousím nože - Kabát (B2+)
MY TIP: Just for singing, use lyrics on Spotify for all languages or https://www.karaoketexty.cz
🇬🇧 And If You’re Learning English...
LyricsTraining was originally created for English learners, so there are thousands of English songs available. Try these classics:
🎵 Someone Like You – Adele Clear pronunciation, slow tempo – ideal for pre-intermediate learners.
🎵 Count on Me – Bruno Mars Great for learning expressions about friendship and promises.
🎵 Perfect – Ed Sheeran Romantic and melodic – a good song for adjectives and simple past tense.
🎵 Imagine – John Lennon Simple, philosophical lyrics. Ideal for learners who want to build vocabulary around abstract ideas.
📚 Vocabulary Tips for Learners
Here are a few simple ways to actively learn vocabulary while using LyricsTraining:
Keep a vocabulary journal Write down new words or phrases with their meaning and one example sentence.
Use colour-coding Highlight verbs, nouns, or prepositions in different colours.
Repeat regularly Do the same song several times in a week. First in "choice" mode, later in "write" mode.
Sing along with the lyrics This boosts pronunciation, rhythm, and memorisation.
Use a dictionary or translator If a word keeps appearing and you’re unsure, look it up. Use Czech-English dictionaries like Seznam Slovník or Lingea.

🎤 Final Thoughts
Music has a unique power to connect language with memory and emotion. With LyricsTraining, students are not just practising grammar or vocabulary – they’re experiencing the language as it’s spoken, sung, and felt by real people.
So next time you're tired of textbooks, take a break and dive into a song. Whether it's Czech folk, English pop, or fairy-tale melodies – music is one of the most joyful ways to learn a language.
