10alect
Your Community Language Learning Buddy
It's tricky to learn a language just by listening. We try to make it easier by breaking songs down word-for-word, so you can actually understand what you're singing along to.
The 10alect Method
A simple tool built with honest intent. No corporate data harvesting, just a better way to learn.
Clarity, Not just Gist
Most translators just give you the general idea, which is fine for travel but bad for learning. We try to show you exactly why a sentence means what it means, breaking down the grammar so you can actually learn from it.
Better Together
Algorithms are impressive, but they miss cultural nuance. That's why this is a community library. If something looks off, you can fix it, leaving a better trail for the next learner who comes along.
A Public Library
We're not here to sell your data or lock knowledge behind a subscription. We're building a permanent, open collection of song analyses. Once a song is decoded, it stays free for everyone, forever.

How 10alect Works
📺 Fetch Lyrics
