Spanish verbs don't have to be scary. Whether you're just starting to learn Spanish or pushing towards fluency, Spanish verb conjugation is usually what holds you back. Other apps make you memorize. We teach you to understand, so conjugation finally clicks and you can actually hold a conversation. Ella Verbs is the Spanish verb app built for learners who want real progress. How Ella Verbs works: Learn a concept → Quiz until it clicks → Level up. Short lessons, plenty of practice, and a clear path from the present tense to the subjunctive, broken into 50 manageable levels. Our Smart Quizzes use spaced repetition (SRS) to target the patterns you're struggling with: not just individual words, but the tenses and verb types that aren't clicking yet. You practice what actually needs work, not what you already know. What learners are saying: "In 22 days I've learned more than in all the years before." "I am not afraid to form sentences or speak anymore." "Learned more in 3 days than 3 years on Duolingo." "Great for beginners but essential for serious learners." Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 15,000+ ratings. What you get: • 50 levels of bite-sized lessons and quizzes covering 18 tenses • 2,500+ verbs with full English translations, synonyms, and step-by-step conjugation guides • Smart Quizzes with spaced repetition (SRS) that target your weak spots (Pro) • CEFR level tracking (A1 → C2) to see where you stand • Speaking quizzes: say each answer out loud and the app checks it • Practice your way: typing, multiple choice, flashcards, listening, or sentences in context • Daily Verb Sudoku: a conjugation puzzle for when you want a change from quizzes • Full lessons on tricky topics like ser vs. estar and reflexive verbs • Works offline, and syncs across phone, tablet, web, and Mac Start free: the first 11 levels, the top 100 verbs, the daily Verb Sudoku, and a free Pro trial with no card needed. Pro unlocks all 50 levels, all 2,500+ verbs, Smart Quizzes, custom quizzes in every tense, and your own verb lists. Built by learners, for learners: We're Jane and Brian: an Irish couple living in Spain, learning Spanish ourselves. We built Ella Verbs because we couldn't find a method that actually taught conjugation instead of just drilling it. We're a small team and read every email ourselves (really). We release updates almost every week. Have an idea or question? Reach us at jane@ellaverbs.com or brian@ellaverbs.com. We also offer free access through our Give Back program for those who need it. More features: • Milestone levels testing verbs in real sentence contexts • Custom quiz builder: choose your tenses, verbs, and practice styles (present tense free) • Create your own verb lists to study (Pro) • Daily streak tracking across devices • Both European Spanish (with vosotros) and Latin American Spanish • Dark mode and extensive customization options Tenses covered (18 total): Indicative mood: • Present (El Presente) • Present Continuous (El Presente Progresivo) • Informal/Near Future (El Futuro Próximo) • Preterite (El Pretérito Indefinido) • Imperfect (El Pretérito Imperfecto) • Present Perfect (El Pretérito Perfecto) • Past Perfect (El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto) • Future (El Futuro Simple) • Future Perfect (El Futuro Perfecto) • Conditional (El Condicional Simple) • Conditional Perfect (El Condicional Perfecto) Subjunctive mood: • Present Subjunctive (El Presente de Subjuntivo) • Imperfect Subjunctive (El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo) • Present Perfect Subjunctive (El Pretérito Perfecto de Subjuntivo) • Past Perfect Subjunctive (El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo) • Future Subjunctive (El Futuro de Subjuntivo) • Future Perfect Subjunctive (El Futuro Perfecto de Subjuntivo) Imperative mood: • Imperative, affirmative & negative (El Imperativo) By using Ella Verbs you agree to our terms (https://ellaverbs.com/terms) and privacy policy (https://ellaverbs.com/privacy).
