Wrong. If you though there was a short abbreviated way to learn, whoever told you that stole your money. There are model verbs but there are many examples that are different.
When Spanish speakers made the language they didn't think of an easier, abbreviated version just for you.
I have seen that in the USA people love to learn a short version, but that does not work if you want to learn a language correctly. You still must do things the old way. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY.
By the way, I beg to differ concerning Spanish being harder than French. Personally I consider French conjugation ( not conjugaison, that is French ) harder than that of Spanish.
I have the feeling that you should improve your english as well, because of the "conjugaison"

Yes, there are ways to learn conjugation other than just memorization. Apparently your teacher is not using these ways. The best thing you can do for yourself is to get as much exposure to Spanish as possible by reading and listening. You can watch Spanish television programs, for example.

Just learn the basic patterns for verbs that end in "ar", "er" and "ir" and go from there. You will see that there are patterns. Sometimes you just have to memorize things. I'm an EFL teacher, and believe me, learning irregular English verbs is memorization, too.
P.S. It's conjugation.

You will learn that most of them have common forms and will not be too bad once you get used to it. As for the irregulars though, there is no trick to it. Unfortunately you will need to memorize them.
Seems insane at first, but over time they will get easier. Just hard at first because it feels overwhelming. I know what you mean.

Relax, your'e making it more difficult than it really has to be. Unfortunately, learning is memorizing. Try some things like watching telemundo or univision, and if you have a closed caption tv, see if you can get subtitles in english. Nada en la vida es facil.
