With Lots and Lots of Patience. You will have to keep repeating it over and over again for as long as it takes for him or her to pick it up.

you dont say what species of parrot it is. while a lot of species do learn to talk (with some being well known for it) others do not. of course there are the ones that defy the stereotype typical of their species. but the key to teaching a parrot to talk is repetition. the word needs to be said often, with the same inflection and accents (otherwise to the bird it sounds like a different word). start with short training sessions. make sure you have his full attention and there isnt anything distracting going on in the same room. say the word clearly and with a bit of excitement. dont push these training session for any longer than say about 10 minutes. else you risk the bird just getting frustrated and then agitated. some birds will pick up words they've only heard a couple of times..others take a long time to learn even one word. patience and repetition. you also might want to get a book about parrot training and one specifically on your species or parrot.
