Where’s the course first lesson?
Courses start with lesson 201 and then go up, theoretically until number 999. Looking for the first lesson? Look for the 201s.
I just listened to episode 212 and 214. Where’s episode 213?
We offer audio courses in different languages. All the courses are constantly on the build. New episodes are being recorded and released in each of the languages featured on our site. We deliberately leave space for newer episodes, as sometimes we know there’s a story that needs to be inserted between existing stories. Please allow some time for gaps to fill up.

What’s a Podcast Assistant?
The Podcast Assistant (also “Show Assistant) is our textual bonus for listeners. Every language show has its own ‘Show Assistant’ which is comprised of a textual booklet (viewable or downloadable as a Google document) and links to further linguistic activities that we developed for you, like flashcards, word games, tests and so on.
This accompanies our audio lessons and make it easier to follow by reading and practicing the vocabulary included in the lesson, dialogues and other stuff.
Here’s an exemplary Podcast Assistant:
Mobile app
What are your mobile apps good for?
Our mobile apps, currently designed for android devices only, allow you to comfortably listen to our audio lessons wherever, whenever. At the moment we offer three apps: The Real life Italian app, the Hebrew Steps app and the Talk Parrot Pro app - all let you listen to the lessons produced by Talk Parrot so far as well as all future lessons (added automatically).
The Italian app features Italian lessons, the Hebrew app Hebrew lessons and the Talk Parrot Pro app brings to your android phone or tablet all the lessons produced in all the languages that we offer at the moment.
You will also find in each of the apps our news feed, our facebook feed and more up to date info, making it easier to follow our activity.
What are the LITE apps?
Same at the non-LITE apps but with less episodes and less features. Also, new episodes/lessons, don’t add app automatically. At the moment we offer Real Life Italian LITE and Hebrew Steps LITE.
Where can I get your apps for android?
Look for them on Google play store.

General topics
Do I need a premium subscription in order to access your content on the web?
No. Everything that we upload to the web is fully accessible, readable and audible. Enjoy!
What is my donation good for?
To put it simply, every new donation in enough of a reason for Talk Parrot to produce a new lesson, or two or three…
Podcasting and everything that revolves around it (Website maintenance , mobile apps, design, etc.) requires a lot in terms of time, effort and finance. Your donation makes it all a little easier and assures the continuity of this site and its activity.
