 Hard to find your way around, however this is an essential book December 16, 2007

The second edition of this book could really use some additional indexing.
This book is not a dictionary per se - it does not purport to be one - so usually the process begins by finding a Hebrew verb in a separate dictionary. The three dictionaries that I use present you with with the INFINITIVE of the verb, or FIRST PERSON MASCULINE, none gives you the ROOT. Unfortunately, there is no index in this book of infinitive or first person masculine forms of verbs. Indexing is by the ROOT only in Hebrew.
In the English index, the sequence is very confusing. The page sequence is from right to left in accordance with Hebrew script, but the columns on each page run from left to right.
As a result it is difficult to identify the verb you want to research. Usually it requires back-tracking to the closest English word, and then scouring through the conjugation pages of possible candidates for the infinitive or first person form of the verb.
However, once you actually identify the verb, the information is exceptional. All tenses and constructs are included. I would say that despite its shortcomings, this book is essential to students of Hebrew.
 501 Hebrew Verbs Works at Several Levels June 14, 2008

Barron's 501 Hebrew Verbs perfectly answers my needs as a third semester student of conversational Hebrew. It is well organized, user-friendly, and accurate. Examples of usage would be desirable but would also increase the size of the book. The introduction tends to be technical and is probably better suited to advanced students than to relative beginners. Overall, the book is an excellent value.
HEBREW LANGUAGE REFERENCE December 2, 2008

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
 A must for serious Hebrew students June 19, 2008
An excellent aid for the intermediate and advanced student. Has added more roots to the book and the book now opens from right to left. One slight problem is present. The listing of the verb forms in order of binyanim instead of in order of more common usages may not be an improvement over the 1st edition. I hope the binding is more substantial in the new edition. Overall, it has proven to be an excellent reference.
Excellent Resource December 12, 2008
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!
