This review is from: 301 Polish Verbs (Barron's) (Paperback)

The 301 Polish Verbs is a great advancement over the 201 Polish Verbs. In addition to getting an extra 100 verbs, all the verbs are fully conjugated, in all tenses, and the introduction is much more informative and easier to understand. Each verb now has at least one example sentence to help ensure proper usage. In addition, this book contains 42 sample tests with answer keys. The verb index in the back of the text is easier to read; however, it still lacks an alphabetical listing of perfective verbs. So if you don't know the imperfective verb a lot of time can still be spent searching for it. This is a great reference and I highly recommend it for all levels. I can't wait for 501 Polish Verbs?

This review is from: 301 Polish Verbs (Barron's) (Paperback)

this is obviously not a book to be used on it's own. but accompanied by a quality instructional text, this book is great. for example, once in a while you'll encounter a word in an instructional book that doesn't look like the infinitive to any verb. this book will help you to figure those words out. in addition, it allows you to compare various verbs by presenting a verb and all of the ones that are similar. if you spend time learning maybe 5 verbs a day, you'll see that your vocabulary and knowledge of polish increasing tremendously.
