My students often play pictionary in my Spanish classes and sometimes would complain if they chose a verb, saying that they didn't know how to draw a verb. So these cards really helped them to overcome that.

I do like that every verb has a sentence underneath it, conjugated in the present tense, first person singular form (yo form). However, there is no pronunciation, and there is no English translation - which is good for learning - helps the student to get away from translating in his or her head, but then there is the question of true meaning, which will hurt confidence and thus motivation in learning. All in all, a great idea - verbs on cards! Huge size, so great for classroom learning, and a really wide variety of categories of verbs. For the price, this is a great tool to have in your Spanish library.

Beware, these cards have NO ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS on them. Most of the illustrations seem self explanitory; however, there are a few that are questionable. For instance, one figure seems to be running or skipping and all you have to work with is the word "brincar." Luckily, I have a live-in translator who tells me that the word means "to hop." On the other side of the card they use the word in a simple sentence (in the first person) "Yo brinco en un pie;" again, if you do not have a translator you'll need to look it up yourself to find out that the sentence means, "I hop on one foot."
Personally, I think these cards are great, especially since I'm a visual learner. I'm willing to research online, and through my spanish dictionary, to find the english translations and then write it on the cards myself.

I liked this because it gives a visual, and it helps you remember the verbs. I really like them. My only quam is that there were some words that were unclear and I had to ask a friend.

This is a quick and easy method to learning Spanish verbs alongside a picture AND a sentence conjugated in the first person so you can apply what you are learning! GREAT concept!

I agree with the reviews above. These are beautiful cards that are a must have, which can be improved by adding English translation and the phonetic pronounciation of the verbs. I use them with my 3 year old son, and I have no Spanish background.
