Italian Verb Test is a mobile phone app that allows you to test yourself on Italian verb conjugations. You are asked to translate a verb from English to Italian, given the pronoun and tense/mood. You can then either enter the answer or select it from a list of suggestions. The correct answer is then shown and your score updated if you got it right.
Anyone trying to learn a foreign language will soon discover that knowing how to conjugate the verbs is an important step. It's not something you think about when using your natural tongue:
I go
You go
She goes
...
And then you start need to consider the different tenses.
I went
We will go
They are going
...
It soon becomes apparent that you need to rote learn all of the different combinations, and I have always found that the key to rote learning is to test myself. In my struggles to learn Italian I decided to combine this task with another interest and write an app.
Italian Verb Test is available for both Android and iOS, with the latter having a more modern feel for the interface.
Italian Verb Test will test you on any combination of the following tenses/moods.
The Pro version will show conjugation tables and test you on over 200 verbs, while there is also a free version.
This was the first version of the app, written for Android.
After completing the Android version I decided to create the same app for the Apple family of mobile devices (iPhones and iPads). I redesigned the interface, to give it a fresher look and feel.
