Project Overview
Lingo Beats is a full stack language learning application that uses music as the primary learning medium. The goal of the platform is to help users build vocabulary, listening skills, and comprehension through interaction with real songs.
Instead of relying on traditional memorization exercises, the platform encourages learners to engage directly with lyrics. Songs become the foundation for learning activities that reinforce pronunciation, vocabulary recognition, and contextual understanding of language.
The application is built as a distributed system with containerized backend services and a modern JavaScript frontend. Database services and supporting infrastructure are managed through Docker to provide a consistent development environment.
The system architecture includes multiple data services to support different application needs. MongoDB is used for flexible document storage, PostgreSQL handles relational data, and Redis provides fast in memory caching and messaging. This structure allows the platform to scale while maintaining responsive user interactions.
