Overview

Parrot is the TikTok for language learning. We turn doomscrolling into fluency with personalized short-form videos. Power users scroll for 6 hours/week on Parrot. Our team of engineers have lived the frustration of ineffective apps and learning methods - we’re building the first language platform that actually works.
