5.0 out of 5 stars A great phrasebook
I have been to Sweden several times now and wanted to learn a little bit of the language. I have bought other phrasebooks which have been useful but this is one of the better ones. It is split into different sections with lots of very useful phrases and includes a phonetic way of saying them- I prefer to listen and try and get the pronunciation right so an audio alongside this would be very handy. Sections include small talk, weather, directions, apologies- useful for topics for English speakers! I also like the First 24 hours after arriving and the last 24 hours before leaving section. This book is good to use alongside other learning tools including watching Swedish TV, reading in Swedish and attending Swedish classes which I do, in order to immerse yourself before you head to Sverige.
5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive list of situational phrases
Another great offering from this language book series. I haven’t checked that there are 1500 phrases but there are certainly a lot. Following an initial section on pronunciation, all of the phrases are in English, Swedish and phonetic Swedish. Although I’m not a fan of phonetic sentences, I appreciate that it is better than nothing and a lot cheaper than providing mp3 files using native speakers. However, I would love the option of obtaining such audio.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy conversational Swedish
This is an easy to read book with lots of good explanations, I’d call it “lite svenska” it’s not too heavy and is a good introduction to the melodic language of Sweden.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Effective
Excellent book for learning Swedish if you need to have a basic understanding. Split into sections is a great help.
5.0 out of 5 stars So useful
It’s so useful to have something written to refer to when my mind goes blank when I’m put on the spot!
1.0 out of 5 stars Not much content
Seriously, I could not believe how little content this book has. Absolute waste of money!
Good.
Plenty of information.
Very useful! Survival Swedish!
This book is really useful! I am self-taught in Swedish, and I found this book to be very useful regarding the most common phrases that can help you in conversation :) it is divided by sections so you can find the phrases you need easily, and it has a phonetics section to help you with pronunciation.
"Det var ett tag sedan!’’ – 'It’s been a while!' – Learning Swedish made easy
Lingo Mastery continues to be a valuable resource to make Swedish more accessible to a wider population. Following in the style of Swedish Short Stories, this new volume of 1500 Swedish Phrases is full of new vocabulary to enhance communication. In the Introductory Note the goal is stated well: ‘Learning a new language is almost like opening a hidden door in your brain, which leads you straight into a whole new world! It changes the say you think and how you perceive things around you, not to mention that you could come to learn phrases and ways to express your self that might not even exist in your native language. Swedish is an interesting language to learn…With this book, you will learn how to handle a variety of situations in Swedish, no longer having to rely exclusively on English…most Swedes speak English…When you learn to speak read, write and understand Swedish, you will also, simultaneously, begin to understand the culture and its people in ways you didn’t before…The best way to learn a language is to dig all the way down to the roots in order to understand its foundation. That is what we are going to do in this book: provide you with the necessary tools for starting to speak Swedish…’What follows, before the phrases that placed here to learn, is a fine lesson in pronunciation of vowels, consonants, combinations of letters, pronouns, the importance of stress and intonation, and then the supply of valuable lessons begins – colors, numbers, greetings, date and time, common questions, when someone is being rude, medical, ordering food, transportation, religious questions, emergency, technology, conversation tips, date night, money and shopping, children and pets, traveler’s guide, directions, apologies, answers, small talk, business, the weather, hotel, sports and exercise, the first 24 hours after arriving, the last 24 hours before leaving, – all spelled out in accessible format with Swedish to English translation to correct pronunciation for learning. And so it proceeds with one of the more accessible adjuncts to mastering the Swedish vocabulary in a manner that places words in context and thus – easy to remember!The technique is solid and the lessons well taught. This is a very fine continued introduction to Swedish – encouraging further enhancement of global languages! Grady Harp, August 21
I’m learning
Very good book to lear basic ot common words Swedish.
Very effective
This book is effective, it does not dwell too much on theory, it gives you examples, lots of them in many different situations, dating, restaurant, common questions, business, answers, ...You have the english translation first, which gives you the opportunity to do reverse translation, from english to the target language, very very effective way of learning, of checking one's progress.It is very complete, there are courses that cost much more and are less effective and well thought.
