FAQ
Do I have to complete a song in one session?
No. You can pause and return at any time. Your progress is saved automatically.
Can I skip lyrics I already know?
The lesson adjusts based on your study history. Words you have already mastered appear less often.
What happens when I finish all the lyrics?
Once you have worked through every lyric, Roxxem enters the review phase, resurfaces lyrics due for repetition.
