Now in its FOURTH Edition.

If you have taken a second-year course of Swedish, or already have equivalent background, this book is the first step on your path to fluency. Like the earlier books in the series, Swedish: The Basics, Swedish: More Basics, and Swedish: Beyond the Basics, the focus in this volume is on practical Swedish, with an emphasis on building vocabulary to the level needed for fluent conversation.

The reading pieces include a diverse set of characters in a wide range of settings as well as details on the history, culture and geography of Sweden.

Many exercises reinforce the explanation of more advanced grammatical concepts. They can be filled directly in the book.
