I have enjoyed studying languages all my life and have used the "501 Verbs" series in Spanish and Italian as well as the Hebrew edition. I have found this to be a very informative book. It has been indispensable to me. The only thing is that I wonder why the Hebrew version doesn't come with a CD like the Italian and Spanish versions. I wish that the publisher would look into this. Other than that, I am very happy with this book.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. I am doing graduate work right now in Israel, and so I need to learn Modern Hebrew as part of my curriculum. This is the fifth language I have learned, so I am not keen to buy lots of books and grammer guides unless they are actually necessary. I hemmed and hawed over purchasing this book at the beginning (I've never used any Barron's language books before), but it has become utterly indispensible! It's like a gigantic French becherelle. There are no shortcuts or abbreviations; every body is listed under every verb, including the infinitive, various tenses, the verb group, the shem poula, and more.

Despite what other reviewers have said, there are MULTIPLE indices to search a verb...either English to Hebrew, the Hebrew infinitive, the Hebrew root, and by similar groups. It is very rare that I cannot find what I am looking for almost immediately, and often times I get sidetracked by interesting, related verbs. I use this book constantly to practice conjugating verbs in speech, for composition, and just for reminding myself of the various rules for certain groups in certain tenses. This book is worth its weight in gold; if you are serious about learning Hebrew, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!

I really like this book.The first one was great but this one is better because I think it is more complete.
Easy to use.

As a low level Hebrew student, I find this reference very helpful. I'm also considering trying to learn one root per day to make it through in a couple of years. It's very organized and useful!

The Hebrew verbs book , 2nd edition is a big improvement over the 1st edition. I especially like the use of examples of the verbs used in sentences and the book starts on the right side as is the Hebrew language
