Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for Swedish Grammar

This tiny volume has everything you really need to understand Swedish grammar. It covers all the aspects briefly, and in no more complicated terms than a textbook (which are hard to find for Swedish for some reason). There are usage examples, irregular verb tables, and some details on Swedish punctuation. Funny how only one reviewer so far has found the definitions of grammatical terms in the back. As for the 'molecular structure' review, pay that foolishness no mind. If you are looking for a textbook, look elsewhere (and let me know if you find a good one). This is a reference book, and a very good one.

Don't listen to the low reviewers

This book is excellent. It goes over every bit of Swedish grammar, with examples. The book is logically arranged for easy reference, with separate sections for nouns, verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, etc. To the one reviewer who said knowledge of English grammar terms is necessary: no, it isn't. The book has a glossary in the back that explains any linguistic terms used, from the most advanced to ones as simple as "noun". I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn Swedish. Linguophiles will love the presentation, but anyone can appreciate a quick course that presents all you need to know about Swedish grammar in under 100 pages.
