Learning English with music: englisch.music reviewed

Every title comes with lyrics, a gap-fill, four exercise types and a worksheet with answers. Use is free and requires no account. This page sets out what the site offers, which level it suits and what it lacks.

How the site is put together
Most offerings for learning English with music take well-known pop songs and add a gap-fill. englisch.music works the other way round. The grammar point is fixed first, then the song is written for it. “We Said Hello” practises irregular past-tense verbs, because German learners confuse saw with seen and gave with gived. The chorus therefore contains we said, we took and we wrote.
Because the lyrics are written for teaching, the target structure recurs throughout the song. The catalogue holds ten titles: four at A2, four at B1, one each at B2 and C1. Topics include past simple, present perfect with ever, never and just, present continuous, comparatives and superlatives, and the difference between used to and would.
Disclosure
englisch.music belongs to the Simmonds Sprachschule environment. This text is therefore not an independent third-party review. The limitations are listed in full below. The music is AI-generated, produced with Suno and Mozart, while the exercises and grammar notes come from teachers. The site states both in its own footer.
What comes with each song
- Lyrics with a gap-fill, seven to eleven gaps per song.
- Grammar explainer in German, with an example sentence and translation.
- Four exercise types: multiple choice, matching, word order, word bank.
- Vocabulary list covering the harder words in each song.
- An interactive lesson per song; the music pauses for the quiz questions.
- A printable worksheet, with answers on a separate page.
- Radio with all ten songs; Lernmodus adds read-along lyrics and a mini-quiz.
- Podcast in several formats, among them “Song im Fokus” and “News in Simple English” with hosts Luna and Jake.
- A submission form for your own learning songs, including usage-rights details.
- Lyric videos; one has been published so far.
englisch.music compared with LyricsTraining, Lingopie, Duolingo and the British Council
| Provider | Offering | Grammar focus | Material | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| englisch.music | 10 purpose-written learning songs, A2 to C1 | Song is written around the grammar point | Worksheet with answer key, lesson page, radio, podcast | free, no account |
| LyricsTraining | Gap-fill game over well-known music videos | no systematic link, focus on listening comprehension | no printable material | free basic use, optional subscription |
| Lingopie | TV and film clips with dual subtitles | vocabulary and listening rather than grammar progression | vocabulary lists in the app | subscription |
| Duolingo, Babbel | Course system with short practice units | systematic progression, music plays almost no part | inside the app | free tier and subscription |
| British Council | Song worksheets inside a large learning portal | worksheets for individual songs, no dedicated song series | worksheets as PDF | free |
As of August 2026. Details for other providers describe the offering in general terms, not individual plans.
For pure listening practice with familiar music, LyricsTraining is the better choice. For drilling a specific rule, englisch.music is the shorter route, because song, exercise and worksheet all address the same grammar point.
What is missing
Ten songs make for a small catalogue. There is no spaced repetition, no progress tracking and no offline mode. A learning path leading from one song to the next is also absent.
The music is AI-generated. The production is competent pop, it does not reach professional studio quality, and the cover images are recognisably AI-made. Only two titles are demanding at B2 level and one at C1. For exam preparation and for professional vocabulary, the site does not replace a course.
Who the site suits
englisch.music is useful for German-speaking learners between A1 and B1 who want to revise core structures without opening a textbook. The routine takes about ten minutes: play the song, complete the gap-fill, read the grammar explainer, work through the exercises.
For teaching, the combination of lyrics and a worksheet with answers is practical. No sign-up is needed, so school-account admin does not arise. If you are looking for structured teaching, we offer free lessons and courses with native-speaking teachers.
Frequently asked questions
Is englisch.music free?
Yes. Songs, lyrics, gap-fills, exercises, worksheets with answer keys, the radio and the podcast are all accessible without payment. There is no account, no registration and no limit after a set number of songs. Worksheets print from the browser or save as PDF without an email address being requested.
Which level are the songs suitable for?
The catalogue runs from A2 to C1, weighted towards the lower levels: four songs at A2, four at B1, one each at B2 and C1. It is most useful for learners between A1 and B1 who are revising core structures such as past simple, present perfect or present continuous. At a solid B2 level, only two titles are demanding.
How does it differ from LyricsTraining?
LyricsTraining places gaps in existing music videos. That trains listening comprehension but follows no grammar progression, because the songs were not written for teaching. On englisch.music the grammar point comes first and the song is written around it. In return the catalogue is smaller and the music is AI-generated rather than chart pop.
Are the songs AI-generated?
Yes. The site states this itself: the music is produced with Suno and Mozart, while the exercises and grammar notes come from teachers. Sonically it is competent pop; it does not reach professional studio production, and the cover images are recognisably AI-made. For learning purposes, what counts is that lyrics and chorus match the target structure.
Can I use englisch.music in class?
Yes. Every song comes with a print-ready worksheet containing a gap-fill, exercises and a separate answer page, plus a lesson page suitable for projection. As no sign-up is required, school-account admin does not arise. A quarter of a lesson can be filled without preparation: play the song, read along, fill the gaps, discuss the rule.
What does the radio Lernmodus do?
The radio plays all ten songs in sequence, which suits background listening. In Lernmodus the lyrics run along for reading, words can be looked up, and a mini-quiz appears between tracks. Listening then becomes revision that requires no dedicated study session.
Can I submit my own songs?
Yes. The form guides you through four steps: song data, lyrics with marked gaps, grammar notes and a review step. Usage rights have to be confirmed. With Suno, songs created on the free tier may only be used non-commercially, and a later upgrade does not change that.
