LyricsTraining is a service for learning languages in a fun and innovative way through music, videos and song lyrics.
Both the website https://lyricstraining.com with all its variants and subdomains, as well as the app with the same name (https://lyricstraining.com/app) available for Android and iOS devices, are owned by ELASTHINK, S.L. (hereinafter "Elasthink") located at Calle Fuerteventura 9, Alovera, 19208, Guadalajara, Spain.
