Parrot – Learn Spanish

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.

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.
