Swedish language help

This is a good book for what it is intended for. The only thing against it is that we didn't need it in Sweden. Nearly everyone speaks English, at least to some extent, even in the small fishing villages along the coast. The only time we didn't find someone that could speak Englishat a restaurant, we just guessed and were able to order anyway. Ended up with Lasagna, which isn't exactly Swedish fare, but the word they had on the menu looked similar, so we guessed well!

Small but powerful

A good way to get familiar with Swedish if you are a beginner. This book contains practical phrases for a variety of situations. The pronunication of every word is written underneath each phrase phonetically, which is especially helpful/needed when learning Swedish. A handy little book, and even if you end up using it as a coaster you still haven't lost at this price!

A Good Fun Guide to Swedish

I actually purchased this book a few years ago. As a high school student into Swedish culture, I bought this book because it looked fun and easy to read. I was very impressed with this pocket sized text. I felt as though I started learning Swedish right away. I learned my phone number, days of the week and greetings. I taught my friends. They all borrowed the book. I went to Sweden and Finland about a year later. I found it useful. It is not the be all and end all of the Swedish language by any means, but I loved it. I do wish it had an audio tape.I lost the book recently and I have decided to repurchase the same book because I have found none better for the price and quick information it provided.
