About Parrot-it

Parrot-it helps English speakers learn useful Mandarin Chinese phrases with simple translations, character-by-character pronunciation guidance, and browser-based audio playback.

What the service does

You can enter an English phrase and receive a matching Mandarin Chinese phrase, simplified and traditional Chinese where available, pronunciation notes, and an English-friendly pronunciation guide.

How to use the guidance

The pronunciation guide is designed for language learning and everyday practice. It is not a certified translation service, legal translation service, medical translation service, or substitute for a qualified language instructor.

Accuracy and improvements

Language can vary by context, region, and tone. We review phrase coverage and pronunciation notes over time, and some searches may be logged so the phrase library can be improved.
