About Verboteca

Verboteca is a spaced-repetition trainer for words and verb forms. Open it, answer for ten minutes, close it. The decks, examples and audio are already inside, so there is nothing to set up.

Two skills, one method

Two things have to be remembered separately: the word you choose and the form the verb takes.

Verboteca drills both as flashcards and schedules each card by how well you know it, rather than on a fixed calendar. Words and verb forms share one queue, one daily goal and one streak.

What you can learn

Three languages, each with a vocabulary course from A1 to C2 and verb forms:

  • English (American or British): the four forms of common and irregular verbs, vocabulary A1 to C2.
  • Spanish (Castilian): 15 tenses and moods, vocabulary A1 to C2.
  • German: 10 tenses and moods, vocabulary A1 to C2.

Spaced repetition

Every answer moves the level of that exact card, whether it is a single verb form like hablo or a single word.

After a correct answer the next review comes in 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days. A miss drops the card one level and brings it back tomorrow.
