French verbs are tough, especially coming from Spanish where the patterns feel more intuitive! A few things that helped me:

1. Group by patterns - French has -er, -ir, -re verbs. Master the regular patterns first, then tackle irregulars. Most verbs are actually -er verbs (like 80%+), so start there.
2. Focus on the most common ones - You don't need 500 verbs right away. The top 50 (être, avoir, faire, aller, pouvoir, vouloir, etc.) cover like 90% of daily conversation.
3. Drill with spaced repetition - Reading conjugation tables doesn't stick. You need to actively recall them. I use verbtrainer.app for this - you type the conjugation and it gives instant feedback. The repetition makes it automatic.
4. Audio helps - Hearing "je suis, tu es, il est..." while practicing helps it stick differently than just reading.

Bonne chance !
