Spanish Verb Drill Practice

It’s a good app that I find useful. It could easily be a great app if they added speech to it. Other apps use Siri to speak the Spanish words so it can’t be that hard to add. Even though this has features I really like I find myself using other apps a lot more often because they incorporate speech into them. Adding speech would make this easily a 5 star app.

I love this app because practicing the conjugation is essential for fluency, yet can be pretty boring. This app allows you to do it when you have downtime (e.g. waiting in a line). You can save verbs that give you more problems in a list for later review. The customer service is excellent as well. I got an immediate response regarding a conjugation question about a particular verb.

I've used this app for several months. No crashes. I use it primarily on my iPad. I like it because I can test my progress in learning the various tenses. I've made some suggestions to the originator of the program for some changes to an iPad only version that have been favorably received. When those are done this will be a fantastic program to help with the tiresome chore of memorizing all those pesky conjugations. But even now I start a timer on my iPhone for several minutes and let the Verbos program pick random verbs in the various tenses I'm trying to learn. I then write down the "correct" answer and see how many I can get correct in my 5 minutes. Then I can easily calculate how many I answered and the percentage of correct answers to make it a little game of am I getting any better at this. It is also easy to use the iPhone version in those situation where you have a few minutes to practice. Quiet time at night, a Dr.'s office, watching the wife in a clothing store, it is easy to refresh one's memory in just a few minutes. And after awhile one begins to see progress in the daunting task of memorizing the various tenses, the irregulars, etc. In the beginning you might get 50% or 60% correct and over time work your way up to higher percentages. There are a couple of online free programs that do this, but they work with a limited number of verbs, only allow one tense at a time, and one has to be connected to the internet of course. For only $3 you get a portable program that allows one to do this anywhere. If you want to improve your proficiency at conjugating verbs, then this is a program you should have on your iPhone or iPad.
