I learned by rote too.

Then when I thought I 'had it', before I went to my Spanish lesson I would have breakfast in a bar run by a Columbian friend & she would call across the bar I work - we eat - they live - he is and so on so that I could say them 'out of order' as it were.

I find that once you have learned one tense & understand the pattern, the others are fairly easy.

It's learning when to use them that is then a little harder..................
