# VerbPal

> VerbPal is an AI-powered language learning platform specializing in verb conjugation mastery through contextual practice and spaced repetition. It supports 10 languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, English (ESL), German, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, Dutch, and Romanian.

## Core Purpose
VerbPal solves the "fluency gap" where learners know grammar rules but freeze mid-conversation. It uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm to move verb forms from short-term memory to long-term instinctive recall.

## Supported Languages

- **French** — passé composé, être/avoir, subjunctive, reflexive verbs
- **Portuguese** — future subjunctive, personal infinitive, European and Brazilian variants
- **English (ESL)** — phrasal verbs, modal verbs, tenses, irregular verbs
- **German** — separable verbs, V2 word order, Konjunktiv II, strong/weak verbs
- **Italian** — passato prossimo, essere/avere, congiuntivo, -isc verbs
- **Polish** — perfective/imperfective aspect, verbs of motion, reflexive się
- **Ukrainian** — future tense constructions, aspect pairs, survival verb core
- **Dutch** — inversion, separable verbs, subordinate clause word order
- **Romanian** — four conjugation groups, subjunctive (să), a fi / a avea
