Using this book,

We have designed this book for anyone wishing to acquire basic

conversational Swedish, that is the grammar, pronunciation and

intonation as well as basic vocabulary and a range of phrases necessary

for communicating digerent needs. We also provide you with some

background information about Sweden, its regions, history, traditions

and way of life.

Each of the eighteen lessons contains three passages - a 'Text', a

'Dialogue' and a 'Factual text'.

In the 'Text' you learn about the lives of a group of characters:

Rebecca, an English student spending a year at Stockholm University,

Bill Morris, an English export representative travelling in Sweden, and

the Swedish Forsberg family of Jan, Eva and Joakim holidaying in the

South of Sweden and then pursuing their daily lives. Other characters

appear in the story from time to time

The 'Dialogue' is to provide you with a number of ways of meeting

conversational needs arising in everyday situations you are likely to

encounter, such as, for example, 'Asking for things' or 'Expressing

likes and dislikes'. It is often followed by fbrther notes on other

constructions you can use.

In each lesson you will find numbered language notes which

explain, for example, aspects of word order, inflexion and agreement as

well as providing all kinds of colloquial constructions and other useful

information. By referring to the 'Grammatical index' you can use

book as a concise reference grammar, though lack of space preclud

great amount of detail. More detailed sources of reference are P

Routledge, 1993, or Philip Holmes and Ian HinchliEe, Essenha

Swedish Grammar, Hull Swedish Press, 1991. Another substan

of exercises are Swedish Exercises for use on PCs by the same

with Chris Hall, Hull Swedish Press, 1995.

You are provided with a list of vocabulary after each

dialogue. You should note particularly that a word is explaine
