Learn Chinese with Songs
Study the lyrics. Learn the language.
Improve your Mandarin while enjoying a song!
If you study for just 15 to 30 minutes a day, you'll learn about 10 to 15 new words everyday! (Actual study time and outcome depends on your current level.)
In this course, you'll improve your Mandarin by exploring popular and viral Chinese songs—each one a doorway into real-life vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture. Whether it’s a heartfelt ballad, a dance trend from Douyin, or a nostalgic classic, every song is handpicked to make learning fun, memorable, and meaningful.
What's included in each lesson?
- Link to where you can listen to the song.
- LanguagePlayer Integration - An interactive reader with pop-up word explanations and built-in review tools

- Learn about the singer or band behind the song—who they are, what genre they represent, and why this song became popular.
- Understand why the song resonated with Chinese audiences. Was it part of a viral trend? A hit from a drama series? A karaoke favorite?
Whether you're a total beginner or an intermediate learner, this course will help you build vocabulary, tune your ear to natural Mandarin, and deepen your understanding of modern Chinese culture—through music.
