From English to Swedish: A basic Swedish textbook for English speaking students (black and white edition): 1

Excellent quality book that will get you reading and understanding Swedish from the get go. Nice chunks of vocabulary are introduced each chapter and are reinforced with frequent repetition. The story is continuous and engaging enough for a beginner.The creators have included audio recordings that can be found online. So this book tooks all the boxes for someone seeking comprehensible input in Swedish at a beginner level.This and Alfred Ghost are the best books for a beginner in Swedish, in my opinion.Buy it and you won't regret it!

È un manuale molto ben strutturato,ideale per principianti ed autodidatti.

O livro é ótimo, porém não abre em todas as versões do Kindle e também não abre no Kindle reader, ou seja, só dá pra ler no android. Na Amazon do Brasil não oferecem a versão impressa, só na amazon americana, deixando o livro caro. Servirá como mais uma fonte para aprender o Sueco.The book is great, but does not open on all Kindle versions and also does not open on the Kindle reader, that is, you can only read on android. In Amazon do Brazil they do not offer the printed version, only in the US amazon, making the book expensive. It will serve as another source for learning Swedish.

Nice book to learn a bit of swedish :) It's really helpful and the examples are great.

Bengt and Carol Hällgren's "From English to Swedish" series is remarkably user-friendly without sacrificing quality and rigor in their presentation and explanation of grammar and vocabulary, all while being infused with fascinating insights into “Swedish mentality”. Moreover, the fun and varied practice exercises are truly worth their weight in gold.Delightfully illustrated, their books tell a fun and relatable story of cross-cultural encounters. One doesn't even need to be an exchange student to want to know what will happen next as the American protagonist, Ashley Chapman, navigates her year in Sweden with the Lundström family. I find it charming that the authors have drawn from their very own extensive cross-cultural experiences to inform the story they tell. It makes the books so much more "real" and "alive" than most conventional beginner and intermediate language textbooks.The Hällgrens’ work is truly a labor of love, as can be seen from the fact that they painstakingly recorded Youtube videos in which they guide their readers through the pronunciation of every single vocabulary list, spanning the full thirty chapters across both books. It's also possible to follow along with their recordings of various segments of the story, though it's necessary to buy the books, of course, to have access to the full story.As a foreign language educator myself, I can say with much enthusiasm and confidence that this series is the real deal! I looked far and wide. There aren't many quality resources for learning Swedish to begin with, and of the ones I did find, this series truly stood out from the rest for all of the reasons above. I just ordered Book 2 and I feel ready to hit the ground running when I move to Sweden in the fall. Bengt and Carol, tack så mycket / thank you so much!
