The only book you need to teach yourself Swedish

Do you want to learn Swedish by yourself? This is the course book you need. 

In this book, you will follow a group of people in Sweden through a storyline, as they experience things throughout a year. Through authentic conversations, vocabulary building and grammar explanations, you will build up your confidence with the Swedish language. 

You will learn all the basics, but also more modern expressions and slang. At the same time, you will get to know the characters in the book, which will help you to remember what you’ve learnt. 

There’s even a bit of drama… (someone is killed off in Chapter 8…)

The book covers level A1-B1+. All the answers to the exercises are available in the back of the book, so you can check them yourself.
