Nybörjarsvenska is a comprehensive study aid for basic courses in Swedish as a foreign language. The texts are based on everyday situations and have different linguistic levels giving students an idea of how the Swedish language can be used in different social and professional situations. The grammatical content is presented gradually through instructive tables and examples. A separate pictorial vocabulary consisting of about 1000 words from key areas of everyday life is included at the end of the Textbook. The Exercise Book contains a detailed pronunciation guide. Handy pocket-sized vocabularies are available in 14 languages. The key to the Exercise Book is a useful aid to self study.
