Do we need to know all the verb conjugations to carry on a casual convesation?
Answer Hello Wally, No, you don’t need to know all the verb conjugations to carry on a casual conversation in Spanish. If all you’re interested in is Spanish conversation, I would recommend that you try taking a night course in “Beginning Conversational Spanish” at your local High School or Community College through their Adult Continuing Education Program. Many local schools offer these type of courses for a nominal fee. You might be given a small amount of background in grammar and vocabulary in order to help you attain a better understanding of the language, which in turn will assist you with your spoken Spanish. Through conversational courses, you’ll learn to become comfortable with the language and not be bogged down with many grammatical ‘specifics’, so I think this would be a good route for you. Good luck!
