whats the best way to learn spanish conjuguations?
hay learning spanish here have got Barron’s 1 edition book my spanish coach 1+2 and i find them really fantastic plus getting rosetta Stone latin american spanish off a paid torrent. but im having trouble with the conjugations and impermanent/permanent structures of the sentences (ive only been studying closely for a few months though) will i get eventually?
There are MANY irregular verbs in Spanish. Lots are only irregular in one or two persons and tenses, but they’re still irregular (check out “decir” or “caber”). Repetition is key. And repetition in various ways.
Try flashcards.
Try reading simple texts multiple times.
Try drills. Take one verb and use flashcards to prompt you for person (yo, tu, el / ella , ustedes, nosotros, ellos / ellas), tense (past, present, future), aspect (imperfect, preterite), and mood (indicative and subjunctive).
It takes a LOT of work.
Try conversation.

you’ll recognize the pattern. there are only a few irregularly conjugated verbs…so you’ll just have to memorize those.
(there’s a spanish coach 2? i have 1, and the chinese and japanese games. they’re great)

claro que si.
sure you’ll learn it.
presuming you are US english speaking citizen the only solution is to learn them by heart because there is no conjugation in English so you have nothing to link it to. Don’t worry if there are to many verbs, you’ll get there eventually. Of course learn the rule of conjugation for group 1 2 and 3 of verbs then apply to all verbs learning the exceptions.
HablAR- group 1 - hablO, hablAS,hablA, hablAMOS, hablAIS, hablAN
ComER -group 2 -comO, … and so on.
VivIR - group 3

Oh my…it helps if you have a native speaker to practice with who can explain things to you and correct you.
Conjugations are soo confusing when you first start out. It took me probably 2 years to get it all straight in my head; maybe more. Mostly what helped me the most is interacting with the spanish speaking community and getting into spanish media. You start picking up on things on your own.

I used one and learned a lot, just by sheer effortless repetition. It was almost like playing a game.
