Learn English by singing. 180 songs designed to take you from first notes to fluent expression — for people who love music.
Nanabu is a language-learning platform built around a simple insight: when you sing, you remember. Every song is structured as a lesson — vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and cultural context woven into the lyrics and melody. By the time you know the chorus, you have internalized the language.
Users sing along with scaffolded lyrics, getting real-time feedback on pronunciation, rhythm, and word recognition.
A curated progression from simple melodies to complex lyrical expression, mapped to Common European Framework levels.
Adaptive playlists that adjust to your pace, your favorite genres, and the vocabulary gaps you need to close.
Music activates overlapping neural pathways for language, memory, and emotion. Singing engages motor, auditory, and cognitive systems simultaneously, creating stronger and more durable memory traces than passive listening or rote repetition alone. Nanabu leverages this research to make language acquisition feel effortless.
Nanabu is built on modern cloud infrastructure with a focus on low-latency audio streaming, pitch and phoneme analysis, and data privacy. All user data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable U.S. regulations. The application is available on iOS, Android, and web.
