2000+essential Italian verbs

My use of Italian verbs have really taken off since purchasing this book. Brilliant Terry Hext

Not the best book of its kind

First of all, I would have never rated this book with 5 stars simply because of its misleading name. It's called 2000+ Italian verbs, but there are ONLY 250 fully conjugated verbs. Having said that, the 250 verbs have multiple conjugations, including all the indicative, the subjunctive, conditional, and imperative forms. One of the best qualities of this book is the clear organization and layout; it only takes a couple of seconds to find the verb and conjugation that you are looking for. A significant part of the book is dedicated to "Verbs in Action". Here you can find all kinds of examples about verb rules and usage, as well as mini quizzes. I have to say that I found this part of the book the least useful and barely used it. The highlight of this book was the interactive cd-rom which was extremely useful in expanding one's vocabulary (verbs included). The cd is very flexible and you can even add new vocabulary terms to the existing ones. This is a big time saver when you consider how much time is wasted on the preparation of flash cards alone, now you can have to program make the flash cards for you! I still would have to recommend "The Big Green Book of Italian Verbs" because of the quantity of information alone. It includes 555 verbs (instead of just 250) and all the conjugations that are found in the 2000+ book. Unfortunately, the layout of the Big Green Book is not as clear as that of the 2000+, so it takes a few seconds longer to find what you are looking for.
