What is VerbBoard?
A focused tool for learning verbs. Languages: English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, etc..
Each verb shows full conjugation with TTS audio for every form and example sentence.
How it works
Pick a language on the home page. The Verb of the Day is one tap away. Open any verb and play audio for every form and example. Pronouns for each person are in a collapsible block. Switch between female and male voices. When your interface language differs from the verb's language, examples get a translation button. Mark verbs you learned with โ
. Export them for Anki from the Verbs page.
Practice
Sign in, then start a session on the Verbs page. Choose 3, 6 or 9 verbs and how many times to listen to the audio for each. Move on after listening. Finish a session to earn a badge. Verbs you marked known come back at 1, 3, 7, 16 and 35 days, with a "Recalled it" button when they resurface. Verbs you are still learning keep returning too. It happens on its own.
Fill in the blank
On a verb page, press "Fill in the blank" above the Examples. Each example sentence loses its verb form. A label tells you the tense and person. Type the form, then press "Check" (or Enter) or "Show answer". Missing accents still count as correct, and the exact spelling is shown. In Russian, stress marks and ะต/ั are forgiven too. After you answer, the full sentence appears with the form highlighted, and the audio for that sentence unlocks. Translations keep their own button. It works for sentences that have a tagged form, so not every verb has it. It needs a free Google sign-in. Your answer counts are saved to your account progress, never the sentences. The mode is not remembered between visits.
Accounts and practice
Browsing needs no account. Practice does: a free Google sign-in saves your progress across devices. On Android it is one tap. Verbs and badges you collected before signing in are kept. You can delete your account and data yourself on the privacy page.
Wrong audio?
Audio is machine text-to-speech, so some forms can sound wrong. Next to each audio button there is a small flag, faint until you play a clip. Tap it to say what went wrong (sounds like a different form, wrong stress or vowel, cut off or noisy, or something else) and add a short note if you like. Reporting needs a free sign-in, and once you report a clip its flag stays filled on all your devices. Reports are counted per person. A triangle in place of the flag marks a clip already confirmed as a known issue; tap it for a note.
Search
Your studied language is selected by default. Or select English and type a verb in English to cross-search in your studied language.
If a verb is missing, VerbBoard may be able to add it automatically, but this is not always possible or quick. Where it isn't, missing searches are tracked and covered in future updates.
Install
VerbBoard is on Google Play for Android. On an Android browser, the home page has a link to the store listing.
