Vocab2Lyrics

Listening to music and songs was a fun helpful way for me to get practice and immersion when I was studying a foreign language. This is a short program I made when I was learning Korean. Goal was to search for songs in a Spotify playlist for a specific vocab that I was learning at the time. This would allow for more easy real world examples and familiarity in my study material.

Example of searching a playlist of Blackpink songs for the vocab "사랑"
