Ella Verbs: Learn Spanish
iOS Universel / Education
Hola! We are an Irish couple (Jane and Brian) living in Spain and learning Spanish. We started Ella Verbs as we were looking for a way to improve our Spanish verbs and make the jump from intermediate to advanced speakers. We tried many ways to improve our Spanish grammar (books, apps, tutors – you name it, we tried it!), but never found the one that clicked. So we built it!
We aren’t your typical Spanish flashcards or verb trainer app. Our philosophy is “learn, quiz, repeat”. We teach you, then quiz you and then surface content again when you need it most. It’s been proven that quizzing helps with concentration, identifying gaps in knowledge and long term retention (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). You’ll enjoy our personalised Smart Quizzes to help you improve your Spanish conjugation faster!
Because it's just the two of us, we personally read and respond to every feedback email and review. So if you have an idea, issue, question or whatever, please get in touch! We really want and listen to your feedback, and regularly release new features and improve existing ones (to date we've released 30+ updates per year!). Together we want to help everyone learning Spanish to master their verbs :)
You can reach us in-app, or by emailing us at jane@ellaverbs.com or brian@ellaverbs.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
This update includes lots of small improvements and fixes:
* We now handle verbs with multiple conjugations in certain tenses, e.g. "contradecir" in the future and conditional
* Speed up app loading time
* Add option to not speak pronouns in sound settings
* Do not auto accept a non reflexive verb missing "se" (but still accept for manual check)
* Some speaking quiz improvements
* Do not generate smart quizzes for tenses that haven't been quizzed enough
* Fix some text-to-speech issues
* Attempt to fix duplicate reflexive answers showing in "would also accept" (this was a tricky one so let us know if it doesn't work!)
We really hope you like the update, and that Ella Verbs is helping you learn Spanish! Please remember: if you have any feedback, you can let us know at support@ellaverbs.com :)
All the best,
Jane and Brian
