Summary: Very Helpful!
Review: I'm a beginner and a language lover, and when a friend of mine gave me this book as a gift I was thrilled. It lists Russian alphabetical order in the front, which is helpful for newbies like myself, and also has an index in the back where you can look up the English verb. As a beginner, this is very helpful. I have never not been able to find a verb here. However, I would not recommend it for someone who has not studied Russian at all. It does not describe the different forms of the verbs, and it can be a little confusing at first. Also, the ability to read Cyrillic is a must; there is no romanization.

Summary: Learn your Conjugations!!
Review: If you are serious about studying a foreign language, the most important thing you can do is learn to conjugate verbs correctly. Russian is no exception to this rule. This book is an excellent tool for anyone who has trouble with conjugation. Each verb is fully conjugated with perfective and imperfective forms, as well as past and future tenses. More than any other reference book this one will help you to drastically improve your speaking abilities.

Summary: Pretty good but a few problems
Review: On the whole, this is a good reference for beginning or intermediate students of Russian to have. However, in keeping with Beyer's teaching methods (he's a professor at my college), it often ignores complexities of the language for fear of confusing the reader. In most cases, this is not a problem, but there is at least one exception. There are russian imperfective verbs which have multiple perfective forms, and he only lists one, which might make you think it was the only one. People in one of my classes tried to use it to say that they'd cut themselves shaving and burnt their tongues drinking coffee, and instead ended up saying that they'd completely chopped themselves up while shaving and burnt their tongues to a crisp. So there are problems with the book. But it is certainly a useful reference.

Summary: Helpful For Beginners, But Not a Necessary Study Tool
Review: The supposed value of this book lies in the fact that it lists verbs in all their conjugations and tenses. Whereas this may be helpful for beginners, the fact of the matter is that once you learn the grammar rules governing verbs, you won't need this book!However, in all fairness I must write two good things about this book. First, seeing all the conjugations and tenses of a verb laid out on one page is helpful in making sense of the various verb forms, especially in terms of keeping them distinct from each other. And second, this book provides a list of some of the most useful verbs that you can study as a beginning student of the language. My advice is to examine your own personal learning style and ask yourself if you really need this book, because once I learned the rules of verb formation, this book did little more than gather dust on my shelf.

Summary: Necessity
Review: This book is a very useful tool for the beginning to intermediate student of Russian language. It provides a lot of verbs and their full conjugations, which can often be confusing to students. Every serious student should own this book. However, once you advance in ability, you will notice a few shortcomings, such as questionable translations in a few cases. The book also fails in some cases to provide a sufficient explanation of which case is to be used with the given verb in what kind of situation. Still, this book is very useful and will greatly help the student of Russian to learn the typical conjugational patterns of the language. I highly recommend this book to early students of the Russian language.

Summary: This is a necessary reference book for all Russian students.
Review: This book leads you through all conjugations of the two infinitive verb forms. The only problem is, sometimes, locating the necessary verb is difficult in the index. I recommend this book for all my students. It is especially helpful with the command forms.
