About this app

Parrot pairs Korean and English speakers to video chat for 7 minutes speaking in only Korean, and then 7 minutes speaking in only English. It’s a win-win for both learners! Language exchange face to face from anywhere with native Korean speakers and improve your speaking and listening like never before.

KEY FEATURES:
- Formatted video chat to ensure balance between the exchange
- 7 minutes of only Korean
- 7 minutes of only English
- Topic provided to facilitate the conversation
- Switch partners after each session
- RSVP for events to let others know you’re planning on signing on at certain times

In 15 minutes you’ll have spoken more Korean than you would in a month at school. Starting off with books is a great way to begin learning a language, especially with a dedicated teacher to teach you the basics of how to read and write. However, at some point you realize that books can only take you so far when it comes to speaking and listening comprehension.

Not everyone can go to South Korea to pursue their passions for learning a language, but with Parrot that is no longer a problem. Parrot offers topics to facilitate your conversations so that you’re constantly talking about new things and challenging yourself, just as if you were living abroad. Talk about everything ranging from how to cut your hair at a salon to finding a job. By putting yourself into common but unfamiliar situations, you’ll learn faster and more effectively than ever before, all in an environment where it’s okay to make mistakes!

More often than not language exchange ends up being one-sided, with one party dominating the conversation while the other person gets left with little to no improvement. Parrot moderates the conversation to ensure that there is a balance between the exchange and requires both parties to spend half of their time teaching their native language to their peer.

Parrot is especially effective for intermediate and advanced language learners who have spent at least a few months learning the foundations of Korean / English and are ready to take their language skills to the next level through actual conversations with native speakers.

Learn and most importantly, have fun!
