Need practice with verb conjugations? Or vocabulary? With MANY different language options? Conjuguemos has it all! Not even kidding. It’s amazing.

Just go to your language on the left side of the page (French, German, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, or Spanish) and choose what you want to do. If you want to work on your verb conjugations, you can choose any verb tense (as well as regular/irregular verbs) AND which verbs/pronouns you want to practice. You can then practice for a set amount of time and conjuguemos will then give you the percent of correct conjugations you completed. What are you waiting for? GO PRACTICE!

Italian Conjugation App

 

The “Italian Verb Conjugation Trainer” is a handy, and free, app for Italian students.  Instead of endlessly scrolling through Instagram in the Scripps brunch smoothie line, do something productive – like learning basic Italian conjugations. There is a “quiz” part of this app that will help you keep your skills sharp. In addition, internet is not needed to use this app – which means that you can quiz yourself on an international flight to the country of your dreams, Italia.

Check it out, here.

Spanish grammar exercises

Hello everyone! For students who need some practice with grammar such as getting down preteritos, imperfectos, subjuntivos, etc here is a website that can serve as great practice. You pick what you want to work on and you are given a paragraph with blank spaces for you to fill in the correct tense of the word. Then you can later verify how well you are progressing. Hope this can be great practice!!!  –  Belen
