Use Anki, but don't go too crazy with your flashcards. I think "Practice Makes Perfect, Spanish Verbs" by McGraw Hill is worth every. single. penny. Make a list of all the irregular verbs you come across. you'll begin to see patterns. then you'll begin to understand the rationale behin a those patterns. Just speak. Say it wrong, let someone correct you, then afterwards review your convo and make sentences. (I think shared talk is better to find speakers) Finally, realize that a lot of Spanish verbs are irregular for a reason. A LOT of them. Example: Pagar ... hard g sound, right? Gar like Garage. Past tense would seem to be "pagé", but "gé" = soft "g" like hhhey - pa'hey? No. So they change it to pagué, because "gu" retains hard "g" sound. It will come. It can be frustrating, but it will come. Buena suerte :o)
