#2Looks fun. Congrats on learning React. I haven't wrapped my head around it yet. (But then again, I avoid front-end like the plague...)
I found an "undefined" thing: http://d.pr/i/Dd2eA
Also, the steps aren't really clear. I got "tener - to have" and "Yo", and I put in "tengo" and hit Enter, and it took me back to the main page, where I had to hit "Play" again. I would have expected it to give me another tense or another verb, but that's not what happened.
I tried again by hitting the envelope arrow, but it basically did the same thing.
It's a neat concept (and reminded me that I need to retake Spanish 101) but it could probably use some more documentation and testing. Hope that was helpful!

I had the same experience, including the 'enter somehow takes me back' bug, as well as the undefined thing
That said, I really like the visual design, and I would absolutely find it handy if I could figure out how to play!

This was a bug, Sorry! I'd previously set the target score to 15, but I changed it to 1 whilst debugging something this afternoon. Noob error - Fixed now :)
Edit: Not sure what the undefined bug was will keep looking, ... thanks for flagging it up.
I added the tooltips in the game to explain what to do but I agree it could be more intuitive.

#5This is great, I'm spanish and I never learned to speak (read pretty well). My conjugation is abysmal so I sound like some kind of backwoods hill billy (the spanish version of that). I may give this a go, get conversational. Great project!

#7Creator here. I only started learning to code properly 7 months ago and react ~3 months ago, so I'd love any feedback.
I hope to add audio, more tenses and more feedback (on your progress through each round) soon.
I wrote a blog post on the development here for anyone interested: https://andycloke.github.io/Building-Verb-Master/
This was my CS50 final project. Can't recommend the course highly enough.

#8I have a trip to Spain coming up soon, thanks!
Re: Show HN: Verb Master – A site for practising Spanish verbs
#9Funny, I am Spanish and I just realised how confusing the verb 'to feel' can be.
The app translated it to 'sentirse', and I didn't do it correctly. Just after that I found the error.
'To feel' can be translated to 'sentir' or to 'sentirse' and both are correct depending on the context. 'To feel the wind' would be 'sentir el viento', but 'to feel bad' would be 'sentirse mal'. I conjugated 'sentir' and it was asking for 'sentirse'.

Very impressive for less than a year's worth of development experience. Appreciate the simple, clean design too. Congratulations on the launch!
How did you load the verbs + conjugations into the system?
