Verbarrator
The Verbarrator is the
best program for conjugating and learning Spanish verbs
that I have ever come across.
It's a very impressive program which has a database of 567
Spanish verbs, which you can select a verb from, then input the
tense you want and the Verbarrator gives you the verb in the
corect tense. It also speaks to you, so you know the correct
pronunciation, and give you the correct translation.
What I love about this program is that one of the hardest
things in Spanish is learning and remembering all the verbs,
their sex, and their conjugations through each tense.
The verbarrator makes it extremely easy to learn and
practise them all and so it makes the whole process of learning
Spanish a lot easier too.
There are a variety of different settings you can give it.
You can select verbs individually, or by certain groups - to
listen to and learn. For example all -ar verbs or irregular
verbs. For beginners, there is the grouping ofthe 90 most
commonly used verbs in Spanish. It's a very useful tool for all
levels of Spanish students.
When you select a verb and tense the recordings can also
give you full sentances illustrating the verb's use in that
tense and how to pronounce it. That is quite impressive
considering there are 567 verbs and over 20 tenses.
The program includes over 34,000 mp3 files to accomodate the
huge variety of language inside it. The creator Patrick Jackson
spent over 3 years developing it. You can see the amount of
time and care that went into making this quality programme.
I have no doubt that the Verbarrator will greatly speed up
the learning process of anyone serious about learning
Spanish.
