Learning languages is one of the most important challenges many of us face, whether accessing higher education, conducting business globally, or integrating into a new society as an immigrant. Usually language learning is scary, boring and hard, discouraging learners from believing they can follow through. Skylight Games' first app, Lyriko: Learn Languages with Music, makes learning fun, effective, convenient, and social, empowering independent learners everywhere to reach these goals.
