This type of verb isn't too bad since you retain the stem TABE-. All you have to know is how to plug in the endings.

I never memorized lists of verbs, but rather listened to how they were used and when I would want to use a verb, I would look it up to make sureit was used correctly. In that way, you can slowly add to your knowledge without hurting your brain too much.

In the meantime, check out our grammar section for a few primers on verb types.

This is a really nice site regarding verb conjugations. Actually, this is where I studied Japanese verb conjugations and I find it very systematic. I hope it will help you too.
