The Spanish Dial-A-Verb Wheels

Spanish learners need a Spanish Dial-A-Verb if they are going to learn the 50+ forms of every verb presented in their language textbooks! The Dial-A-Verb wheels begin to be especially useful when students encounter the second or third verb tense. Without this aid all of the tenses begin to run together in their mind. These wheels help develop a sense of order in the total verb system.

There are two versions to choose from, depending on the learner's goals:

  • Spanish Dial-A-Verb 5000
    • Its index to over 5000 Spanish verbs points to a model for all the verbs a student is going to encounter in a typical elementary or intermediate course.
    • Because it is simpler than the 8000 model (below), it is ideal for students simply trying to pass a general education requirement.
    • Author: Kenneth L. Bryant, PhD
    • Integrated web verb conjugator.
  • Spanish Dial-A-Verb 8000
    • Its index to over 8400 Spanish verbs points to a model for all verbs in modern use.
    • It appeals to majors and people with career goals involving Spanish.
    • It models all regular, orthographic, radical, and irregular patterns.
    • With this wheel, any student can confidently conjugate any verb in any person of any tense in the entire language — and the index is compressed enough to fit on the surfaces of the wheel itself!
    • Author: Kenneth L. Bryant, PhD
    • Integrated web verb conjugator.
The two models can be used in the same class, if necessary, because the 5000 model includes the numbers used on the 8000 model. That means that in the classroom the teacher may refer to models by the numbering system on the 8000 model and students who have the 5000 model can easily follow the same model on their wheel.

Online Spanish Verb Conjugator (free)

The conjugator page is designed for teachers or students to use:

  • Students can:
    • generate study sheets for any number of verbs in the tenses they need to know for a test, etc.
  • Teachers can:
    • generate handouts and overheads customized to the tenses and irregularities under study.
    • create links in their online syllabus that will open a study sheet with the exact verbs and tenses they want their students to study. For instance, if you have introduced the present, preterite and imperfect tenses and are now introducing the present subjunctive of some irregular verbs, you could make a link to a page that illustrates the verbs that pick up an unexpected “g” (like tener and venir) in the present indicative and subjunctive (while providing examples of all previously studied tenses) by generating a link that does exactly what you want: Click here for today's practice sheet.
Some Testimonials

From a U.S. citizen taking up residence in Mexico: “When I was first given the Spanish Dial-A-Verb as a brand-new Spanish student, it seemed overwhelming and I wasn't sure what to do with it. However, as I began to study the various tenses, I was having a difficult time keeping them straight and finding some way of organizing them in my mind. At that point I began to refer to the Spanish Dial-A-Verb and what had seemed so confusing (the spelling changes, the irregular verbs, etc.) actually began to make sense. As a “Big Picture” person, I realized that I had been getting bogged down in the details and the Spanish Dial-A-Verb (or “Wheel” as I call it) provided the perfect overall view that I needed. Now, I wouldn't be without it! It has helped my Spanish improve more than any other resource I've used and I love that it's light, thin, and compact for traveling!”

From a professor of Hispanic Linguistics: “These verb wheels are a monument to organization and conciseness. They are much easier to use than the N Spanish Verbs Fully Conjugated books. I intend to recommend that my beginning and advanced students order the appropriate wheel. Thank you for making such a fine product available to foreign-language instructors.”

From a parent: “I like my 8000 so well that I wish to order one for my son Jim. Please mail to him, but send all financial papers to me.”

From a high school teacher: “Thanks — We love them!”

From a professor at a community college: “My former students have told my current students how useful the Dial-A-Verb wheels have been, and they have become cherished family 'heirlooms,' being handed down from one sibling to another. They also continue to be of use to my former AP students who have pursued Spanish in college.”

From a traveler: “I have wanted to drop you a note for awhile to express my appreciation for Dial-A-Verb, which over a three-year period accompanied me to both Central America and later South America, making me the envy of all gringos of the latin world.... I am recently married to a Chilean woman who is just beginning her English studies. Where is the English version for Spanish speakers!!! Please rush me one when complete.... Thanks for your useful product!”

From a university professor: “I always suggest this verb wheel as an optional course material to my students. I find that some students initially think that they won't need to rely on their brain if they have the wheel, though. For some, it's a good and reliable aid. It really depends on the individual. It's a VERY clever device.”

From a university professor: “You know, I have heard about verb wheels for a long time, but have never been able to find one, either at bookstores or teacher supply stores. Neither could figure out where to order it. As you know, a simple search, 'verb wheel' found you and exactly what I was looking for.”

From a high school teacher: “What a unique product you have created in your Dial-A-Verb! Very handy!”

From a foreign language textbook author: “Thank you so much for your comments about my webpages.... What a super field we are in, foreign languages.... I'll be looking at your brilliant website often. Thank you for the Verb Wheel 8000. It is brilliantly designed.”

From a foreign language tutor: “I just really wanted to say thank you for your dynamo product! I used this same verb wheel when I was in high school and now I am recommending it to the students I tutor. It is truly invaluable!
Thank you
Thank you
THANK YOU!”

From a high school teacher: “I would just like to thank you very much for sending me information about these two items. They are great and so thorough! I'm sure you won't mind, but I have taken the liberty of forwarding the information to some of my peers and of course to my students. Several students have already responded and expressed their gratefulness.”

From an instructor at a technical institute: “I remember Dial-A-Verb from years ago and have one, and I just started this fall having our bookstore buy it and offer it as optional for our Spanish students. So, thanks for the memo, I will save it for ordering info but we already have it. A very handy tool! Good luck.”

From a high school teacher: “I have in the past and I am in the present requesting students buy one of these Verb Wheels, especially if they are going to continue their Spanish studies beyond high school. It's a great tool especially for the upper levels of Spanish such as the AP Spanish classes.”

From a high school teacher: “First of all, I love your verb conjugator website; it is a very useful tool! Secondly — and I should have asked this favor before I did it — am I permitted to supply a link to your conjugator website, for my students, on our EdLine class website? I wasn't sure of the legalities of it all, but if I am not permitted, I will take it off immediately. Thank you for your time, and keep up the good work of educating!”

From a student: “Thank you so much for putting this conjugator online for public use! This helped me a ton with a Spanish paper I was writing.”
