From http://lifehacker.com/5481311/lyrics-training-improves-your-foreign-language-skills-through-music

Lyrics Training is a fun approach to helping you pick up a foreign language. Choose a YouTube-hosted music video and select one of three mastery levels; Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert. As the video begins to play, the song's lyrics appear underneath with several words missing. Your job is to fill in the missing words as they're sung.

If you get stumped, the video stops playing until you can come up with the word, but don't take too long because the app keeps track of the time it takes you to fill in the blanks. Click the "Give Up!" button to see the words that elude you.

Lyrics Training sorts videos by fluency level or language. Currently the site offers videos in six languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Dutch). The site is free to use and doesn't require registration, though if you do set up an account, you can save the results of your efforts.

The Lyrics Training website is available at http://www.lyricstraining.com/index.php
