Hi all,
Verbarrator Spanish verb drill programme has some great reviews on Amazon.. yet I wonder if anybody on this forum has used it successfully and can recommend it?
I wonder if it is available in the UK and if it works with Windows 7 or older versions? It does look attractive having seen a couple of youtube review/demos and it could maybe get me through the minefield that seems to be Spanish Verb conjugation.
My worries.. that the audio sounds quite unnatural and that the sample sentences may be limited in variety and become dull. Anybody tried it?! Thanks,
Edgel

Verbarrator is made by the same company that makes Spanish Like Crazy... they use fake reviews to push the product. It may be a good program (many say Spanish Like Crazy is a good product despite all the fake reviews), but you should not trust any of the reviews. Personally, I would not pay for a product from this company. There are many other great products out there.

Thanks, my feeling was that the reviews were all perhaps just 'too' good to be true. On the other hand I downloaded the free demo today and it (despite the very limited access given) shows great potential for drilling verbs.
The price will probably stop me getting the programme but I haven't personally seen anything quite like it for oral practice and just hearing vast amounts of verb conjugations all at once. It seems it could work and perhaps save a lot of time.
I guess it speaks volumes that nobody here has tried it.. maybe there is a similar, cheaper, perhaps better product around?
