Hey everyone! 👋 I built Lingotify because I noticed something while learning German — I could remember every word from a Rammstein song I heard once, but couldn't retain vocabulary from flashcard sessions I did every day. That seemed backwards. So I looked into why, found research showing melody acts as a retrieval cue for memory (Ludke et al., 2013), and thought: what if an app could generate songs from the specific words you're trying to learn? That's what Lingotify does. You pick your vocabulary words, choose a music style, and AI creates a song with those words woven into the lyrics. Then you practice with flashcards, take quizzes on the song lyrics (karaoke style), and the spaced repetition system handles the rest. Some things I'm proud of: The songs are genuinely listenable. Not "educational music" that sounds like it was made for a kids show Karaoke quiz mode pauses the song and asks you to fill in vocabulary words as they come up in the lyrics If a word keeps giving you trouble (8+ failed recalls), the app suggests creating a short jingle specifically for that word 18 genres; from pop to lo-fi to rap to jazz. You learn better when the music matches your taste I'm a solo dev who built this over the past year. Still improving it daily. Would love your feedback, especially from anyone who's tried learning languages through music before. Try it at lingotify.app Free tier available, no credit card needed. Happy to answer any questions about the tech, the learning methodology, or the music generation side of things.
