# Parrot

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.

[### Doomersion match 60Doomersion (formerly Doomlingo) lets you learn languages by doomsrolling! Watch TikToks in your target language that are exactly matched to your level, and as you scroll, they get a little bit harder. Gen-Z doomscrolls 2.5-3 hours a day, and if we bake immersion into that by only showing them viral videos in another language that are matched to their level, we can make the optimal language learning method addictive for people.
