To study irregular verbs (Irregular Verbs), we suggest using two methods in this course: the distributed repetition method and the booyya method, which we have developed for you.

Spaced Repetition Method is a method that allows memorizing information without jaggedness. It is based on the theory of Hermann Ebbinghaus. The scientist studied human memory and derived the forgetting curve. His research helped to see how often the material needs to be repeated so that it is fixed in the memory.

Spaced Repetition Method is a method that allows memorizing information without jaggedness. It is based on the theory of Hermann Ebbinghaus. The scientist studied human memory and derived the forgetting curve. His research helped to see how often the material needs to be repeated so that it is fixed in the memory.

We also offer you our own method of learning verbs. We offer you to divide the study of irregular verbs into 4 weeks. We divided the verbs into different groups - next to each group it is indicated what exactly unites the verbs in it. Thus, every week we will study 25 verbs and after 4 weeks we will remember all 100 of the most common irregular verbs!

For your convenience, after each week there is a practice exercise, as well as already created cards, with which you can easily practice the learned forms! Also, we have divided all the verbs for the week into slightly smaller groups so that you can learn as many words as you can at one time.

A four-week program awaits you, in which these verbs are already divided into groups. All you have to do is follow the instructions and repeat different groups of verbs at different times, according to the schedule.
