Amigos Spanish

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffJanuary 9, 2012Amigos Spanish allows users to practice conjugating Spanish verbs. Its intuitive interface and variety of activities make it a great choice for students of Spanish.The program's interface is basic, with large graphical buttons for each of the program's functions. There's nothing fancy going on here, no sounds or animations or attempts at making verb conjugation fun. In fact, much of the program consists of grids of words and phrases. The program will not entertain you, but it will help you with your verbs. A built-in Help file gives detailed instructions for each of the program's functions. The program has several features, including tests, word games, and crosswords. The full version includes 700 verbs, and users can customize both the verbs and the tenses that they work with at any given time. The program also includes a conjugation table with explanations for how each tense is conjugated. We found all of the features intuitive to use, and learners of all ages should find this program helpful, with one caveat: users need to already be familiar with the basics of conjugating verbs. Although this is a great program for beginners, this is not the program to start with if you suddenly decide "I think I'll start learning Spanish today." In conjunction with Spanish classes or other self-study materials, however, this program is a fantastic asset.Amigos Spanish has no time limit on its trial period, but it does limit trial users to 10 verbs. The program installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.
