How to learn verb conjugation
Conjugation is where most learners stall. The vocabulary is there, but the verb comes out in the wrong tense or person. Memorising tables does not fix this. Drilling each form until it is automatic does. Here is how to do that without drowning.
One form = one card
A verb like Spanish hablar (to speak) is not one thing to learn. Its present tense alone is six forms: hablo, hablas, habla, hablamos, habláis, hablan. Treat each as a separate flashcard. German works the same way: lernen gives ich lerne, du lernst, er lernt. You are learning forms, not "the verb".
Start with the present, then expand
Master the present indicative across many common verbs before touching other tenses. It carries most everyday speech, and the patterns you internalise, regular endings, the rhythm of pronoun plus ending, transfer to the past and future.
Front-load the irregulars
A small set of irregular verbs appears constantly: Spanish ser, estar, ir, tener; German sein, haben, werden. These break the rules, so rote pattern-matching fails and they need extra reps. Learn them early and often.
Let the schedule do the work
You cannot predict which forms you will forget, so do not try to. With spaced repetition, forms you answer correctly get pushed weeks out, while shaky ones return tomorrow. Ten minutes a day spent this way beats an hour of staring at a conjugation chart.
