All About Spanish Verbs

Learn the most common uses of the most essential Spanish verbs through practical examples.

What is All About Spanish Verbs?

It’s a collection of podcasts that improves your comprehension of the language and your ability to communicate by going beyond the classroom, teaching you the many meanings of Spanish verbs that you were never taught, and how to use them in daily conversation with practical examples.

Your Spanish teacher and textbooks will only teach you the most basic definitions of a verb, barely revealing the tip of the iceberg. However, the vast majority of Spanish verbs have many other meanings and uses in idiomatic expressions that you’re never taught.

In fact, many very common Spanish verbs aren’t taught all, which means you’re supposed to somehow discover these verbs and learn how to use them on your own. It will take months and sometimes years before you’re exposed to the majority of uses of a verb, leaving you lost and confused in conversation and unable to fully express yourself.

With All About Spanish Verbs, you focus on the verbs you need the most, the verbs you need to be able to follow a conversation and understand what’s being said. You’ll learn the most common verbs used in everyday conversational Spanish, the most common uses of them, improve your ability to carry on a conversation as well, and without a doubt you will significantly accelerate and minimize your learning curve, .

And instead of learning with overly complicated grammar explanations and trivial examples, you’ll feel like you’re actually having a conversation because you’ll hear meaningful and practical sentences that mimic how native speakers use Spanish verbs in daily situations.
