Description
Improving your Portuguese is a fun and rewarding activity, but learning how to conjugate verbs can be a pain and slow your progress to fluency.
For English speakers learning their first foreign language, the burden of learning verb conjugations can make communication impossible and attempts at conversation frustrating.
For centuries, effective learning of Portuguese has involved repetition and self-testing of the different verb conjugations by the student in his own time. Now this process has been brought up to date with VerbSquirt.

How VerbSquirt works
The need to conjugate Portuguese verbs on the fly can make spontaneous conversation difficult for even intermediate speakers of Portuguese.
VerbSquirt’s approach is to simulate the rapid recall and listening skills needed for a conversation involving Portuguese verbs, and to help the user improve those skills.
Instead of asking for conjugations based on the name of the tense, VerbSquirt challenges the user to find the closest possible Portuguese translation for the English action they want to describe.
Once fluency improves, VerbSquirt helps the user gain familiarity with the different rules of conjugation for Portuguese verbs, and with the exceptions, leading to a better understanding of the subtleties of the language.
