A combination of useful phrases and the graft of verb conjugations is a good approach. Then you can build a conversational ability, appropriate for a sympathetic listener while building up the details needed to know how the irregularities manifest.
"Puedo usar" saved me a few 10s of km when I cycled across spain and met a road crew relaying the surface in the middle of nowhere. Was also able to make use of a washing machine in one b&b.
I used an interactive book, lots of gaps to fill in and details to read made it really engaging, much more than a screen can, I had two spanish friends I can practice pronounciation with.
