Learn Spanish from real short videos. Tap any word to translate, save phrases, then practice speaking. Beginner to intermediate, a few minutes a day.
LEARN SPANISH BY WATCHING REAL SHORT VIDEOS
Parrot teaches you Spanish the way you actually pick up a language: by watching real people speak it. Scroll a feed of short videos from native speakers, tap any word or phrase in the captions to see what it means, save it, then practice it until it sticks. No textbook Spanish – the vocabulary, pronunciation and slang people really use.
Starting from zero, or studied for years and still freeze in a real conversation? Parrot meets you at your level and builds from there.
HOW PARROT WORKS
► Scroll real videos – Short, authentic clips from native speakers, matched to your level.
► Tap to translate – Tap any word or phrase in the captions for an instant translation, then save it to your personal dictionary.
► Practice what you just watched – Quick activities after every video: match the words, fill in the blank, build the sentence, and say it out loud with instant feedback on your pronunciation.
► Review with flashcards – Your saved words and phrases come back until you know them.
► Follow your own path – A personalized learning path that adapts as your vocabulary and listening comprehension grow.
► Build the habit – Streaks, badges and challenges keep you going a few minutes at a time. You can even import your streak from other apps.
► Every milestone plants a tree.
WHICH LEVEL IS PARROT FOR?
► Complete beginners – Start with beginner videos and the most common words and phrases, and understand real Spanish from your first week.
► Intermediate learners – Break through the plateau with real speed, real accents and real conversations: the listening and speaking practice that drills can't give you.
► Returning learners – Took Spanish in school? Rebuild it fast by immersing yourself in the language every day.
WHO USES PARROT
► Travellers who want to actually talk to people on their next trip.
► Busy adults and parents who have ten minutes, not an hour.
► Students who want Spanish to make sense outside the classroom.
► Movie and music lovers who want to understand Spanish TV shows, series and songs without subtitles.

I was recommended to use this app by a native Spanish speaker. And I have only been using this app for a few days but I can already say that I have improved immensely. I used Duolingo on and off for a few years and couldn’t tell you a single thing I remember learning. In these past few days my (Colombian native) boyfriend has told me how genuinely shocked he is at how well my Spanish is and even I am proud of myself. I knew next to nothing but I am already learning full sentences and phrases, and he even said I’m learning words he didn’t even know of. The videos in this app are extremely helpful, and they teach you what each little word means. Not only that but I feel like this is a way more realistic way of talking versus Duolingo teaching you things you will never use. I was worried about spending money on an app I didn’t know anything about, but I will say that my 10$ was well spent.

I’m impressed! It’s clear that a lot of thought went into developing this platform. The navigation is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to move through lessons without any frustration. The interface is clean, intuitive, and straightforward, which makes learning feel simple and enjoyable. What sets this app apart from others is how it balances simplicity with effectiveness – it’s not overwhelming, yet it still offers a comprehensive learning experience. I’m excited to see what new features will be added in future updates, but as it stands, they’ve built a solid foundation. It’s a great app for anyone looking to pick up a new language without feeling bogged down by unnecessary complexity.

It’s a fun and cute and a little bit addictive app (this is a good thing in a learning app) but not really there yet. A bit amateur and sloppy and I suspect very AI influenced. . It’s not always intuitive how sections work. It adds erroneous words like people’s names and letter pronunciations to its flip cards. It isolates phrases for the listener to repeat but often includes the last word from the previous sentence. I definitely feel like it’s on the right track, but I don’t have time for all these errors right now. If I was learning just for fun I might try longer, but I don’t so I am switching to another app.Edit: to people complaining about it costing money—seriously? Are you providing free apps? Sure that would be nice but I do not expect people to work for free. Also, it’s very easy to cancel during the trial week. Just go to your Apple subscriptions. If you missed that you have just seven days free, that’s on you.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback on the learning flow, flashcards, and repeated phrase audio. We understand that those errors and unclear sections can make the app hard to rely on when you are learning with limited time. Please send examples or screenshots to support@parrotapp.com so we can better understand the specific issues you encountered.Amir, Erik, and Julia at Parrot
Learnt Spanish and found a girlfriend after 5y

It all started in the US, when I was preparing for a trip to Mexico four months later. I really wanted to learn the language of the country I was going to visit. I wanted to be able to chat with waiters, guides, and people in the street. And it all happened… until I met this girl at a bar. She didn’t speak English at all, so I ended up speaking Spanish with her all night long - and eventually kissed her. It’s been a few months now that I’ve been hanging out with her, and I just want to say thank you to the Parrot team. I really enjoyed my time on the app and learned so much without even realizing it. It was actually fun. Than youuu. ❤️

You went from getting ready for Mexico to a whole love story!! Thank youuu for sharing this with us. Hearing that you could spend the night actually connecting in Spanish means so much. We'd love to hear more about your experience at founders@parrotapp.com and what we can do to make Parrot even better for you.Amir, Erik, and Julia at Parrot
You can now hear Spanish pronunciation while reviewing your flashcards. We also made lesson practice smoother, and made sure your search results stay put when you come back.
