Verbs are the protein of a language diet... February 28, 2000

As a homestudied sudent of modern Hebrew I have found this book to be an invaluable source to my learning. In fact, as I have covered most of basic grammar, it is now the core of my Hebrew study, aside from conversation. I use it's neatly organized verb index to strengthen my vocabulary. It is slim, not a bulky book, but eminently thorough and probably contains every verb you will ever need to know. In the front and back are the verb indexes in Hebrew-English, English-Hebrew. When you look up a verb the book gives you the root ("shoresh") of it and directs you to one of 235 numbered example conjugations after which your verb follows. A must have for the serious Hebrew student!
 Exceptionally useful little book May 6, 2007

After you've dipped into past and future tenses, and about the time you get frustrated at having your pronunciation corrected a dozen different ways after you were told 'These verbs are all in the same group and are conjugated the same' -- you are ready for this little book, and you will treasure it. I still refer to Bolozky's '501 Hebrew Verbs' for a range of things -- gerunds, imperatives, semantic variations in usage, etc, and couldn't do without it -- but part of the success of Tarmon is it's size and portability, where Bolozky fails -- you can't have everything.
It gives 265 tables, and in each table, all the major modern Hebrew verbs that are absolutely identical in pronounced conjugation, whether that's only one other verb, or a hundred. If you have memorized Liktov, then there are dozens and dozens of verb roots that will line up perfectly through all the tenses on Chart 1. If you know Ledaber inside out, then Chart 91 shows you hundreds of verbs that conjugate exactly the same in all respects.
It is easy enough to use for the purpose for an advanced beginner, once you've figured it out, but the size does rule out some user-friendly frills.

This has quickly risen to the top of my stack of grammatical references. It's a little more useful for my work than "501 Hebrew verbs," though it doesn't replace that book, which is full of examples and particulars. This one is essentially a different "sorting" on the verbs, grouping them by their common attributes, binyan (semantic class) and gizrah (syntactic class), narrowing the number of distinct cases to 235. For readers who seek learning through patterns, this is a big help.

This book is excellent. It will become one of the most important books you have, second only to a dictionary.
Finally I found the sequel to my first Verb Tables November 6, 2007

Hebrew Verb TablesWhen I started Hebrew lessons long ago, we were told to use the older Hebrew Verb Tables, by the same author, and I grew to love it and be totally dependent on it. However, after all that usage it started to fall apart. Besides, I came into a new class, and they too wanted a verb book like that. I went through 201 Hebrew Verbs (OK, but not as easy) and now finally also 501 Hebrew Verbs (very thorough, but far too lumpy to easy take with you, and then I found the next edition of these Hebrew Verb tables. I immediately bought the book and it is even better than the first, including now also a reverse look-up for the verbs, from English to Hebrew. And that was actually the only thing I really missed in the older edition. I am completely happy again!!
