This is a very useful tool, once you reach the moderate level of German comprehension, and are having problems remembering the rules for weak and strong verbs, unusual conjugations, and so forth. German verbs work a lot like English verbs, fortunately, so once you’ve been at it a while, you can dispense with tools like this (it takes a good deal more work to remember the gender of nouns, unfortunately). This book includes a good introduction to verbs and conjugation – one of the benefits to studying a foreign language is learning the rules of your own more clearly, and the introduction here teaches both adequately. I bookmarked the pages for “sein” and “haben,” the two irregular verbs one uses the most, and I got a lot of mileage out of that. In general, a very handy aid, and at a convenient pocket-size.
