About this app

Spanish verbs don't have to be scary.

Whether you're just starting to learn Spanish or pushing toward fluency, verb conjugation is usually what holds you back. It's the missing piece of Spanish grammar that keeps you from speaking confidently. Other apps make you memorize. We teach you to understand, so conjugation finally clicks and you can actually hold a conversation.

Ella Verbs is the Spanish verb app built for learners who want real progress.

How Ella Verbs works:

Learn a concept → Quiz until it clicks → Level up. That's it. No games, no fluff. Just a clear path from present tense to subjunctive, broken into 50 manageable levels. Our Smart Quizzes adapt to your weak spots, so you're always practicing what you actually need.

What learners are saying:

"In 22 days I've learned more than in all the years before." ★★★★★

"I am not afraid to form sentences or speak anymore." ★★★★★

"Learned more in 3 days than 3 years on Duolingo." ★★★★★

"Great for beginners but essential for serious learners." ★★★★★

We're rated 4.9 out of 5 stars based on 12,500+ reviews.

What you get:

• 50 levels of bite-sized lessons and quizzes covering 18 tenses
• 2,300+ verbs with full English translations, synonyms, and step-by-step conjugation guides
• Smart Quizzes that target your weak spots automatically
• CEFR level tracking (A1 → C2) so you know exactly where you stand
• Practice your way: typing, multiple choice, flashcards, listening, speaking, or sentences in context
• Full lessons on tricky topics like ser vs. estar and reflexive verbs
• Works offline on iOS, Android, and web

Built by learners, for learners:

We're Jane and Brian: an Irish couple living in Spain, learning Spanish ourselves. We built Ella Verbs because we couldn't find a method that actually taught conjugation instead of just drilling it. Since we're a small team, we personally read and respond to every email (really). We release updates almost weekly and have shipped 50+ improvements each year since launch.

This is a fantastic app. Even the free version teaches you lots. I used Duolingo for years but never felt like I understood why some sentences are the way they are. I abandoned Duo and found another app called EWA, which is great for training your listening in Spanish, but something was still missing. I then discovered the Ella app and have to say it is the perfect way to learn Spanish verbs, actually understand the verbs and start to retain them. Thank you so much for this valuable tool.

Thank you so much for the very kind words! I'm so glad Ella could be that missing piece to help you finally understand those pesky verbs and conjugations. It sounds like you've built a fantastic learning routine and we are thrilled to be a part of it. Happy learning! Best wishes, Jane :)

As previous reviewers have said, I regularly use Duolingo which is good but very limited when it comes to conjugation of verbs. The only way around this is to learn them in a different way - and this app is excellent in helping you do that. It's clear, easy to follow and gives you simple, bite size learning chunks. I don't normally provide reviews but thought this one deserved a pat on the back!

I have used Duolingo every day for over 4 years and I feel that my ability to conjugate verbs in different tenses should be better than it is. Ella Verbs plugs that gap by offering some structured learning, including in the vosotros form. It's really helpful and user friendly. I started from level one, because I thought that a recap would be useful, and I found that the explanations for stem changing verbs and irregular verbs were much better than the random offerings of Duolingo.
