Improving your French is a fun and rewarding activity, but learning French verbs can be a pain.

For English speakers learning their first foreign language, the burden of learning verb conjugations can make communication impossible and attempts at conversation frustrating.

For centuries, effective learning of French has involved repetition and self-testing of the different verb conjugations by the student in his own time. Now this process has been brought up to date with VerbSquirt.

Features:

Conjugation of 300 verbs in the most important tenses for everyday communication.

Closest English translation of all conjugations of those verbs.

Integrated learning exercises to test your knowledge of the different verbs and tenses and to track your progress

Over 1,000,000 different test questions possible for each verb/conjugation

How VerbSquirt works

The need to conjugate French verbs on the fly can make spontaneous conversation difficult for even intermediate speakers of French.
VerbSquirt’s approach is to simulate the rapid recall and listening skills needed for a conversation involving French verbs, and to help the user improve those skills.
Instead of asking for conjugations based on the name of the tense, VerbSquirt challenges the user to find the closest possible French translation for the English action they want to describe.
Once fluency improves, VerbSquirt helps the user gain familiarity with the different rules of conjugation for French verbs, and with the exceptions, leading to a better understanding of the subtleties of the language.
