Verbarrator Review
The Verbarrator is a tool that will make your Spanish conjugating skills, especially when speaking, go through the roof. I get to review lots of different Spanish courses, lessons, and software on this site and I can say that without a doubt that this is the tool that I recommend the most to my friends.
Before reviewing the product (and giving you the opportunity to buy the Verbarrator), I’d like to start with a little story about how I started using the Verbarrator. Scroll down to see the full Verbarrator review.
How I Started Using the Verbarrator
When I was first starting out in Spain teaching English I landed a job in an academy where I had to teach children. My Spanish at this time was “iffy” and I was pretty nervous about facing lots of children baying for my blood! I particularly wanted to learn the type of Spanish needed that would help with the discipline of the lessons as I thought this would be the best way to control them.
So, basically I had to learn the third person plural imperative tense in the vosotros form (Spain uses the vosotros form). Luckily I came across the Verbarrator and chose the verbs that I thought I would need to most: “quiet down,” “open your books,” “stop doing that” etc.
Then I set up the verb drills using vosotros in the command and went through the drills. The audio meant that I could either listen and repeat the different conjugations, or I could try and say the correct form before hearing the audio. I then expanded my verb list to include lots of different verbs that might come up. After a couple of days I felt really comfortable with using the vosotros in the imperative.
What the Verbarrator Can Do for You
The main thing to know about the Verbarrator is that by setting up some verb drills and executing them for a few minutes everyday, your ability to both learn Spanish verbs and to conjugate them easily when speaking will increase dramatically. It goes past that and just improves your Spanish speaking in a general way.
Pros
- You have the ability to learn 567 verbs in 20 different tenses, using the 6 different forms.
- The software is incredibly easy to use and setting up your verb drills is a piece of cake.
- The audio means that you can hear the conjugations, allowing you to improve your listening and speaking skills.
- Everything is highly customizable; you can choose the verbs, tenses and subjects that you want to learn, or select the groups of verbs that are already grouped together, like the 90 most practical verbs.
- You can set the drills to be random or in order.
- You can add the verb to a phrase, so that you learn the conjugation in context.
- Learning this way is so much more fun, and a lot more effective than doing conjugation exercises in books or online.
- It can be used on with Windows or on a Mac.
Cons
- You can’t conjugate on the go as there is no option to put the audio files on an MP3.
- I really can’t think of anything else.

The Verbarrator Review – Conclusion
Think about some of the most common Spanish verbs: “estar,” and “ir” are two good examples. Now, think about the conjugations, are you pretty confident about conjugating them in the present tense? I imagine that you are. Both of these verbs are irregular but are easily conjugated. This is because you have practiced these verbs.
Practice is key to improving your Spanish conjugating ability. The Verbarrator gives you the perfect conjugating practice and is incredibly powerful at improving your overall Spanish.
