LyricsTraining is an easy and fun method to learn and improve your foreign languages skills through the music videos and lyrics of your favorite songs.

And it is easy and fun indeed: find the video of a song you like, select your “Game mode” (this determines how much of the text gets left out that you have to add), and start listening. The video stops when you stop typing, so you don’t have to worry that you can’t keep up with the music.

You can even replay any line as many times as you like. Your attempts will be timed and your score will also depend on how many words you skip.

The videos are marked easy, medium or hard, so you can choose your level.

No login or registration is required, but if you do so, you can compete with your friends and compare your scores.

Listen-and-write.com is a simple but very useful site for learners of English. It’s dictation practice: you listen to a text and then you have to write down every word. Your work is checked in real time – you have to spell each word correctly. If you make a mistake, you can’t go on but have to try again until you get it right. You can stop and play the text again as many times as you like. There are a lot of different levels of difficulty, so everybody will find suitable texts. If you register on the site you can record your results and check your progress too.
