Details

Verbarrator is a brand new software program just released in May 2009. Once installed you use the program to practice and learn how to conjugate Spanish verbs in different verb tenses through a variety of fun, customizable drills.

It's a big download with over 34,770 mp3 audio files. This includes a total of 563 verbs in 20 different tenses. The program is fully customizable so beginners can break out the 90 most common verbs as a starting point. According to its creators, the product has been over 3 years in development.

Mastering verbs is really the key to being able to communicate in Spanish and that's why Verbarrator is so useful.

One of the things I like best about Verbarrator is its flexibility. You can easily set the program to study, for example, only irregular verbs in the preterite tense, or any combination of verb types and tenses. Also you can listen to verbs in English and Spanish, or switch to full "immersion mode". You can practice verbs in context within phrases or on their own.

When I started learning Spanish almost ten years ago I used a simple little freeware conjugation program that helped me immensely. The program was very limited, however, and not particularly fun to use. I wish Verbarrator was around when I was learning Spanish. It would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

I can't say enough about the program. I consider it one of the most useful Spanish learning tools, right after a good Spanish-English pocket dictionary.

Comparison to Other Verb Conjugators

Verbarrator is not the only verb conjugation program available but it is the best. If you are on a tight budget and can't afford to spend $57 for Verbarrator, you might consider downloading a program called Conjumania that's available at Download.com. It's very basic but it's free.

Where to Download Verbarrator

The best place to download Verbarrator is from the official Verbarrator website.
