Make Spanish verbs finally click. Master conjugation with structured lessons & personalized quizzes. 50 levels. 18 tenses. 2,300+ verbs. 4.9 stars from 12,500+ learners. Spanish verbs don't have to be scary. Whether you're just starting to learn Spanish or pushing toward fluency, verb conjugation is usually what holds you back. It's the missing piece of Spanish grammar that keeps you from speaking confidently. 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. That's it. No games, no fluff. Just a clear path from present tense to 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." We're rated 4.9 out of 5 stars based on 12,500+ reviews. What you get: • 50 levels of bite-sized lessons and quizzes covering 18 tenses • 2,300+ verbs with full English translations, synonyms, and step-by-step conjugation guides • Smart Quizzes with built-in spaced repetition (SRS) — targets weak patterns, not just individual verbs • CEFR level tracking (A1 → C2) so you know exactly where you stand • Practice your way: typing, multiple choice, flashcards, listening, speaking, or sentences in context • Full lessons on tricky topics like ser vs. estar and reflexive verbs • Works offline on your phone, tablet, or the web 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. Since we're a small team, we personally read and respond to every email (really). We release updates almost weekly and have shipped 50+ improvements each year since launch. 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 • 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 or El Pretérito Perfecto Simple) • 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).

Conjugation is key; Ella is exceptional

I’ve been using Ella for about four days and it really has clicked for me, after two months of self-study had things feeling pretty vague for me.If you want to sound coherent in a foreign language, getting your verb tenses and conditionals right is crucial. I’m self-teaching Spanish after learning French and Italian in classrooms, and before Ella, the best option I knew to drill conjugation on my own was to work through one of those big books of 500+ verbs conjugated. But that’s obviously useless. I found the KOFI flashcards for Anki and used them for a few months but I wasn’t really getting better. (KOFI tries to teach one verb at a time, while Ella teaches tenses batched by similar conjugation). Four days with Ella and everything makes sense and I’m growing fast. It is very configurable to quiz and drill whatever you’re trying to improve, and you can toggle individual tenses or different regional quirks (vos) to focus on what’s important for your Spanish. They should really really really make this for other languages!

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear Ella clicked for you so quickly and that it’s helping bring clarity to Spanish verb tenses. It’s especially exciting to hear how the configurability and focus on batches of tenses is working for you. We also do hope to look into additional languages in the future, but that will be much further down the line, as we want to improve the Spanish version as best we can first :) Thanks again for the thoughtful review and happy learning!Best wishes,Jane

I’ve been frustrated in the past with programs like Rosetta Stone and Duolingo because you end up answering the same questions over and over—well past the point at which you’ve absorbed the information and are ready to move on.Ella Verbs is much more customizable—you can jump around, bypassing levels if you feel you’ve learned enough and going back to review or refresh your skills as needed. This is especially helpful if, like me, you know Spanish pretty well but have learned in a scattershot way over the years, leaving gaps in your knowledge: Ella Verbs lets you target the areas where you need improvement, from relatively simple elements like direct object pronouns to the complexities of the subjunctive. But it’s great for users at any level. Not least, the interface is elegant but simple, and they don’t waste your time with dancing cartoon creatures or cutesy phrases. (If you mess up a test, they just say “Hard luck.”) All in all, it’s a pleasure to use and well worth the price!

I didn’t realize how much I would like this app when I started the free trial. It is evident a lot of thought and effort has gone into making it an excellent learning tool. There is some teaching of verb conjugation, but what I find most useful are the quizzes. Right now I am practicing using the quiz which presents example sentences with a verb missing (but you can see the infinitive) and you need to choose whether to use the preterite or imperfect past tense, and to write it out with correct accent marks. After you choose, the correct verb is spoken and written. Another favorite right now is choosing when to use ser and estar. The default settings use 100 common verbs, but apparently you can change those settings to over 1000 verbs. I haven’t used all the verb conjugation forms yet, but a quick perusal made me think they have them all. Highly satisfied, and hoping they will offer an affordable lifetime purchase option for this app. Well worth your time to accept the free offer and try it out!

I just started this app, it’s awesome & I’m excited I stumbled upon it! Sadly I recently invested in a lifelong plan to a different (name brand) Spanish language learning company, but got bored quickly and moved on. It was far too basic and didn’t challenge me in any way. To clarify, I’m somewhere near advanced & native speaker, but since I learned Spanish as a child, I’ve not only forgotten a lot, but I also never studied grammar, and now trying to maintain it as well as advance in both Italian and French, I realized that studying & understanding Spanish grammar would be the most logical way to go about it… cuz you know, those Latin/romance languages kind of stick together. So I’m super excited to have found Ella. It’s not only great for beginners to follow along at a self pace, but also great for intermediate and advanced. They break down everything very well, and explain in an easy to follow & detailed enough manner without overwhelming. Again, I’m super happy to have found Ella! Get it, try it, buy it, you’ll love it!! :D
