Format:Paperback
My teacher recommended this book to complement our textbook. It has really helped me to make progress. As with all languages,Swedish has its different grammatical stuctures and these are clearly and comprehensively explained.pointing out in great detail how the Swedish form differs fom Engish. I have not seen a Swedish textbook which does this.Another strength is that at the same time Engish grammar is explained fully. For example,no assumptions are made,say about the reader,understanding what an "adverbial clause" is,in the first place. This is paticularly helpful for readers,who have not already learnt another foreign language,where these general concepts of grammar are already very familiar.

This book is very clearly written. If you already know about grammar you may wish to skip the explanations, but if you don't you will find them useful. One particular strength of this book is that it allows for forgetting and artfully sneaks in revision as it goes along.
One problem will always be pronunciation, where a book without a CD will be at a disadvantage compared to a book which includes one. So, though the authors do what they can, supplementing this book with listening to Swedish language would be advised.
There may be better books on this subject, though I find that hard to believe. I'm sure there won't be a better one for the asking price.
(There is an error on page 104, where the wrong word is given for 'that' singular.
Don't get hung up on it like I did!)

Bought for my wife, currently learning Swedish. According to her, the only way it could be improved is if it had an appendix detailing conjugations for all the irregular verbs in Swedish. I'm Swedish by birth, so I'll take her word for it.
