My aunt trained her parakeet to say a phrase. Also, could I train my parakeet to make a sound? How many phrases could a parakeet learn?

Talk to it every day and reward it if it tries to mimic you!
There’s no hard numbers involved here, because every parakeet is different. Some are smart enough to learn specific phrases, and even to use specific phrases at certain times. (My neighbor in middle school had a parakeet that would only say “hello” when you first walked in the door.) Other parakeets are dumb as a diaper full of yuck, and will never talk.
Just repeat the same phrase around it very VERY often. Like if you want the parakeet to say “Hello”, say “Hello” to it about 500 times a day for a couple months. Also, don’t be surprised if you hear half-formed words from your parakeet at night sometimes. I used to have a lesser sulphur crested cockatoo that would do that, trying to sound out things it heard through the day, but never quite getting them right.
Mine had about 10 phrases. Some single words Ouch!
He also wistled and could make the sound of a toy train.( I had one by his cage… 8^)
Repeat the same word(s) constantly to the bird and it will pick up those sounds and mimic them sooner or later. A parakeet can learn a small number of words/sounds, but not many…usually about 5-10 different things.
Talk to your parakeet. repeat the phrase, sounds, words you want him to learn…..give its favorite snack as a reward when it does try to mimick or says the sounds.
I don’t know how much phrases they can say.. I have 3 and none talk.. Because they are too many… If you wanna teach him to talk, keep him isolated from other parrots and talk to him regularly and a lot! But say the same thing! Start with his name first.. repeat it to him constantly.. Good luck ( Wish mine talked:( )
A male under 4 months is ideal.Older Parakeets above 1year of age,are very difficult to train.
The key to teaching a Parakeet to talk is to have the Parakeet think it’s part of the “human flock”, and therefore that it needs to communicate with its human friends. If you have a mirror in the cage, or other Parakeets, it will see Parakeets around it and want to talk like them (i.e. chirp). So step one is to have your young Parakeet on its own, surrounded by humans that talk to it.While male Parakeets tend to talk better than female Parakeets do, both can certainly talk! Birds learn best in the morning, when their mind is fresh and ready for new information. If you use a towel or cover over your bird’s cage, talk to them for 1/2 hr before you remove it each morning. Repeat the same phrases loudly, slowly and clearly. Parakeets do best with hard letters like K and T, so the traditional “hello” is actually sort of hard for a Parakeet. “Cutie” would be much better! Parakeets tend to mumble and to talk quickly, so the more slowly you talk, the more normal it will sound when the bird starts to repeat it.
Have patience, and eventually (hopefully) your Parakeet will start to answer back to you! Once they get the hang of it, they’ll learn more and more quickly as you go. It works best if you physically talk to your Parakeet, and that you do it often.
Parakeets can also learn to mimic other sounds around them. They can learn to chirp like a cell phone, whistle a short tune, and much more… Parakeets are capable of learning many,many words/phrases with dedication from the owner!…
Turn off all distractions around you and your bird and put him on your finger and say the word you want him to say. Do that every day for at least 10 minutes until he tries that word. (Dont change the word you are teaching him because it will confuse him)

Talk to it everyday and when it repeats what you say give it a treat.
