subject: Discover Why Using a Spanish Verb Conjugator Speeds up Learning Spanish [print this page] Everyone would like to learn a new language and Spanish, in particular, is one of the most obvious choices for English speakers throughout the world. As with all new challenges there is always a certain level of excitement and expectation prior to starting a language course and the student is often lulled into a false sense of security as the initial lessons are usually quite easy and are understood comfortably. However, it isnt long before the honeymoon period is over and the student has their first taste of Spanish conjugation.
Being an English speaker makes it pretty easy when it comes to verb conjugation, the formation is quite straight forward as shown in this example: I bake, you bake, he/she bakes, we bake, and they bake. The clear difference is to the verb ending in the 3rd person singular, where an s has been added. This added s could also have been es depending on which verb is used. However, there are, as per normal, a few verbs in English that are formed a bit differently, but I think the example used will highlight the point I am trying to make quite well enough.
However, when Spanish verb conjugation is compared to how English verbs are formed they can only be explained as complex, this is why so many chuck in the towel and forget any idea of being able to speak Spanish well when they begin to struggle with them. Heres a brief example of a regular Spanish ar verb, hablar (to speak): I speak - hablo; you speak - hablas; he, she or it speaks habla; you speak (polite singular) habla; we speak hablamos; you all speak or you speak (plural) hablis; they speak hablan; and lastlyyou speak (polite plural) hablan.
One should also note that the example used in the previous paragraph is that of a regular ar verb, there are also two further verb groups that both have different endings and they are the group of verbs that have ir and er as their endings, comer (to eat) and vivir (to live) for example. Consider also that many of the most commonly used Spanish verbs are irregular, which means that they do not adhere to the normal verb patterns, and then there is the little matter of understanding how reflexive verbs are formed. Put this all together and you will then start to understand the issues that many students have problems with.
A Spanish verb conjugator can make the difficult task of learning verb conjugation far more appealing but nevertheless the task is still laborious and difficult, until recently, that is. For a few years individuals relied a lot on verb conjugation books and no matter how these books were redesigned there was little improvement on decreasing the time it was taking to learn verbs or in how they were studied. However, this is and this is due to the increasing popularity of the home computer and the internet . Recent developments in verb conjugation software has not only improved the speed at which students learn verbs through using interactive study, but it has also made the task much more enjoyable.
To finish up with, I will give my opinion as a fellow pupil of Spanish, regarding verb study. It is possible to master verb conjugations with the sole use of conjugation books as it has been for many, many years and that fact cannot be disputed. However, since being introduced to a verb training software program a couple of months ago I must say that it definitely improves conjugation study and it also makes them much easier to remember which, in turn, speeds up the whole learning process.
