The Learn Tab: Your Class Assignments

On your dashboard once you’ve joined a class, you’ll see the first assignment from your teacher. Your assignment contains three different tasks:

Lessons

Lesson task within student assignment on VerbMaster Learn Tab

Each lesson introduces a verb type in a specific tense, teaching you the patterns you’ll need before you start practicing.

Verbs

Verb task within student assignment on VerbMaster Learn Tab

After each lesson, you’ll practice verbs that use the concepts you just learned.

Choose Learn from Scratch if you’re unsure, or Test Out if you know it well.

Infinitive Vocab

Infinitives are the base forms of the verbs you will learn in the assignment.

You’ll practice them in groups so you can learn them faster.

Spot the Patterns

Here’s the secret: the more verbs you practice, the more you’ll notice endings and rules that repeat. Once you catch on to these patterns, every new verb gets easier to learn and Spanish starts to make sense.

The Review Tab: Your Memory Superpower

When it’s time for you to review a verb form, the app will take you straight to your Review Tab. This is where you make sure verbs don’t slip away.

Here's how it works:

  • The app knows when you’re about to forget a verb form.
  • It brings that form back for review at just the right time.
  • Each time you practice a verb form, it sticks in your memory longer.
With VerbMaster, there is no failure.

If a verb is tricky, you’ll just see it more often until it clicks. Easy verbs show up less. That means you’ll eventually master every single form.

Your Goal: Keep Your Reviews at ZERO

On your Review Tab, you’ll see the number of reviews you need to complete. Here's what this number really means:

  • When you have zero reviews, you’re caught up and the verbs are safe in your memory.
  • If the number grows, it means you’ll start to forget those verb forms—so complete them as soon as you can!

*Always aim to get your reviews down to ZERO*—each time you hit zero, you’ll earn bonus study points for leaderboard rank and dressing your verbolotls.

(You’ll learn more about these features below).

Meet Your Verbolotls

Sure, learning is its own reward — but that doesn’t mean you can’t have extra fun along the way. Your Verbolotls are verb companions that evolve with you on your journey. Every time you learn a new verb, you’ll hatch a new Verbolotl to grow, glow, and style.
