Thanks! Right now I am still trying to build a basic vocabulary by learning some Anki decks, but eventually I hope to move on to reading ynet and haaretz, and then eventually writing. I am also thinking about buying https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0764137484/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LZ8RQTH/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1516171666&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=hebrew+grammar&dpPl=1&dpID=41kWZonU27L&ref=plSrch. I already try to listen to כאן (via TuneIn) daily, even if I can still only pick out a few words like אכשיו, בקר, לילה תוב (:. At the moment I only listen ג (mostly music), but hopefully in the future I will be able to listen to and actually understand most of what is said on א!
I had this book when I was little; don't know if there are new editions available. It has those nice old tables. [EDIT: found another version that might be the one I remember; 201 didn't sound like the right number. The cover I remember was just closer to the (prettier) old version.)
I also found this convenient site online [EDIT: changed link to one that actually knows Hebrew phonology], though it's a bit weird in that it titles the entries by infinitive; usually in Hebrew grammar the singular male third-person past tense is considered the "base" form. But you can search by any conjugation, so it's all good.
My personal advice, and the philosophy used by most such references - treat the binyanim as etymology, not conjugation. There are very regular rules for plugging in a root to a binyan, but there are no rules for figuring out the meaning based on root + binyan, except for the passive/active pairs of binyanim which are very useful to keep in mind while learning conjugations. But for these purposes, just focus on the tense-and-pronoun (or aspect-and-pronoun) variants.
If you want something extensive, I recommend 501 Hebrew verbs.
