Irregular Verbs in French

When I was learning French at school I don't really remember there being so many types of verbs. I decided to start from the beginning when it comes to verbs since i took a two-year break from learning French. It is really alot to remember.*sigh*
                    
                     The Types
Regular -er, -ir and -re verbs
The -cer and -ger verbs where there is a change in the nous form e.g
commençons / mangeons
The verbs where you have to use a grave accent with the silent endings e.g acheter ------> j'achète
The verbs where you double the last consonant in the stem for the silent endings
e.g appeler-----> je m'appelle
The -vaincre verbs which must use   -qu for the plural endings
e.g convaincre -----> convainquent
The -ir verbs which are conjugated like -er verbs
e.g ouvrir-----> j'ouvre
The -ir verbs conjugated like -re verbs
e.g partir-----> je pars
The -oindre, -eindre and -aindre verbs
The -uire verbs
There is still more. I seriously need to find a way to remember these. Practising them using sentences is probably the best way. This is going to take a while but Aja Aja Fighting!!
