GETTING STARTED

Choose one of the links to the left to get started studying any area that you're interested in. If you're a beginner, you may want to cover the Pronunciation section first. After that, it is recommended that you go into a section of numbers study or vocabulary study - just to get you used to hearing words pronounced, and to give you an idea how to say words as you see them.

It doesn't matter which areas you go into after you start, because if you have any sense of curiosity whatsoever, you'll find yourself learning something on each and every page.

Language is a very personal thing! We all talk about things that interest us, and walk away from conversations that we find dull or boring. You only need to study those areas that you want to develop in, though you'll find that most of the material will become inter-related in due course.

As long as you're proceeding in your own development, and as long as you're able to say what YOU want to say, don't let anyone else tell you that "you have to say this or that in any given way." There's a lot of flexibility in Spanish, and you can learn to speak it however you wish.

SPANISH VERB CONJUGATION

A difficult area for any language is the study of verbs and what happens to them when you're trying to communicate. This is called conjugation.

The first major hurdle in conjugating a verb is to recognize the timeframe of the action. This is called tense recognition.

There are 5 basic time-frames for Spanish verbs, those being present, past (imperfect & preterite), future, and conditional. For more information on these, see Introduction to Verb Tenses.

Even so, more divisions occur through a division into mood, being indicative or subjunctive. Indicative mood is used when the action is real and valid. Subjunctive mood is used to communicate conjecture, doubt, suspicion, wish, etc. These will become clearer through usage.

More divisions occur in recognition of actions in progress (progressive tenses) and perfective aspects.

Progressive tenses are formed through using the verb "to be" (estar) plus a present participle. These tenses show all actions as on-going, "being done."

Perfect tenses are formed through using the verb "to have" (haber) plus a past participle. These tenses show all actions as completed, "having been done."

Though the number of charts may seem overwhelming, a bit of diligence and effort will pay off in your recognizing patterns throughout. If you look at English objectively and analyze the number of variables in verb conjugation (spelling being the worst), you will see that Spanish is much easier in its formations.

The pages listed do not include all of the conjugation patterns that exist in Spanish. More pages are being developed, further providing examples for the subjunctive, progressive, and perfect tense formations. Check back often!
