If you have ever been told that there are just 25 irregular Spanish verbs, give or take 1 or 2, However, I am sorry to tell you this, but the number of twenty five is a little misleading! There are, in fact, actually well over two thousand of them!
Fortunately, a large number of these irregular verbs are pretty obscure and won’t be used all that often, which means that learning them is not all that important for most students. However, you will still need to learn more than the twenty five, or so, verbs, so often mentioned by those misleading sources.
Of the irregular verbs that you will definitely need to master, there are a number that it will be an absolute necessity to have an extremely good understanding of. Unfortunately, many of these verbs are, as is normally the case, also the most irregular in the Spanish language and this is why so many students find that mastering them is an obstacle that they just cannot overcome and because of this give up studying Spanish before they even get started, the obvious solution to this problem is to try and make learning verbs much easier and far more enjoyable… but how?
The age old method of learning difficult and demanding irregular verbs was to use a verb conjugation book that contained verb tables that were read continually until the verb formations were memorized. I am guessing that many of you can recall reciting verb conjugation, in unison with the entirety of your class over and over again when you went to school…I know I do, it was the most boring and tedious part of learning a language and something that pretty much put me off learning languages for life! Unfortunately,there were few alternatives until, that is, the computer age dawned!
The increase in ownership of PC’s accompanied by easily accessible internet connections has meant that studying Spanish is becoming much more doable for the regular person and, dare I say it, easier too. It is not too difficult today to be able to locate free learning materials and affordable downloadable software previously not available for a lot of individuals. However, it has not been until quite recently that any real efforts were being spent by designers of software on developing verb conjugation programs that would make the difficult and challenging task of learning Spanish verbs any less difficult.
There have been quite a number of free verb conjugation programs and verb tables available online for some time, but a lot of them are basically digital versions of what was already available in a printed format and they did little, if anything at all, to enhance either the education of, or the fun level of the individual other than to provide them with a certain novelty factor for a short time. The problem that faced developers was always going to be how they could make improvements without altering what needed to be learnt. There was no choice left open to them but to re-invent the wheel.
Since developers couldn’t, in no way, alter the information that was required to be passed on to the software user they would therefore need to look at ways of improving how it was studied. Their objectives would be quite simple:
Software that matches these three criteria would do nothing short of revolutionizing how people learn Spanish verbs, thankfully, there have been programs released recently that do just that so if you need to improve your study of Spanish verbs or are just looking at learning Spanish sooner it is an absolute necessity to check these software programs out.
