Usefull, but with a flaw
It's what I expected, more or less. Each verbs are fully conjugated in Cyrillic and Latin letters, so that's good. There's also a general treatment of Serbian verbs in the beginning that is reasonably well done. I deduct a star because, as another reviewer stated, not including both aspects of each verb is pretty annoying

This book is really great if you want to learn some useful verbs in Serbian. There is also an explaination about how every tenses works at the beginning. Plus, this book also show the verbs in Cyrilic serbian which I find pretty cool.The only down-side of this book is the lack of verbs it contains. Besides that, I would have give a 5 stars.

Great! Unless you're trying to learn aspect.
On one hand, it's great.On the other hand, it is maddeningly frustrating. Why? Certain omissions.It only presents one form of each verb. Sometimes it's the perfective aspect, and sometimes it's the imperfective aspect. It's not consistent as to which form it presents. And, of course, some verbs function as both.Suggested improvements for future editions:1. Note the aspect of the verb in each entry.2. Provide the verb's aspectual pair (if applicable).At the very least, provide the infinitive. It would be better to provide also the 1st person singular (or 3rd person singular, whichever), and the past participle. With those forms, most mid-level students would be able to make reasonable guesses at the remaining forms, at least for regular verbs.3. [for a truly exceptional book...] note if the verb usually takes a direct object (if it's transitive and takes the accusative), or genitive, or dative or instrumental, or is most often used with a certain preposition (and what case that preposition takes).It's funny that the introduction of the book emphasizes the importance of learning both aspects of new verbs.... and then does not provide that information. Looking forward to a future edition!

Accuracy issue
My Serbian tutor has told me some of the conjugations are incorrect....

Faltan contenidos FUNDAMENTALES.
Faltan contenidos FUNDAMENTALES para ser un libro exclusivo de verbos serbios. Los idiomas eslavos tienen la dificultad de tener dos verbos distintos para una misma acción y se usa un verbo u otro en función a si la acción ha terminado o no (aspecto verbal PERFECTIVO e IMPERFECTIVO). El libro lo menciona y recomienda aprender las dos formas de los verbos pero en la lista no aparecen los pares de los verbos correspondientes. Tampoco da ninguno de los 4 ejemplos de uso por cada verbo tal y como pone anunciado en la portada. Las listas de verbos así como las conjugaciones de los mismos cualquiera puede sacarlos en la Wikipedia... Decepcionado.

I am sorry to say that this book is a waste of money.My Serbian friend, a medical doctor, says that it is full of mistakes. Especially when strong verbs is concerned.The organising of the book is clear, but the contents are useless ...
