Spanish verbs for A1

Two tenses and 48 verbs cover most of what a beginner says.

At A1 you need the presente of the verbs you use every day and, soon after, the pretérito perfecto compuesto (he comido) to talk about today. The 48 verbs on this site are the first level of the app: ser, estar, tener, hacer, ir and the rest of everyday Spanish.

Most of the 48 are irregular in the presente, which is exactly why they are worth learning first. Play with the presente alone, then add the perfecto.
