Practice what trips you up
ConjuGato does not force a specific lesson program on you. It is built to work with other materials, so you can get it in sync with what you’re learning in your class or workbook, and add more when you’re ready.
Go at your own pace, focusing on a small set of verbs, one troublesome tense, or specific grammar quizzes. At the end of each practice session, you can review the results and the history to see if anything needs more of your attention.
Pick the Spanish you need
Choose Spain or Latin America to get right verb forms and pronunciation, or even practice regional Argentinian and Chilean vos forms.
