Book Overview

Designed for those with limited learning time, this book is not a condensed outline of all aspects of Swedish grammar. Rather, it focuses on simple everyday communication, helping students use previously learned phrases and vocabulary more effectively and with great versatility. After introductory discussions of vocabulary building, word order and the formation of negative sentences and questions, the author offers concise, easy-to-follow coverage of the parts of speech. Numerous examples are included to demonstrate each rule of grammatical usage with the emphasis throughout on simple constructions rather than complicated ones. A selection of useful expressions and a glossary of grammatical terms round out this excellent, inexpensive guide, perfect for self-study or as an adjunct to a language course. Whether you are just beginning the study of Swedish or wish to review the fundamentals, Essential Swedish Grammar enables you to learn in a systematic way, at your own rate, guided by your own requirements and interests.

Excellent resource for Swedish Grammar

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

This tiny volume has everything you really need to understand Swedish grammar. It covers all the aspects briefly, and in no more complicated terms than a textbook (which are hard to find for Swedish for some reason). There are usage examples, irregular verb tables, and some details on Swedish punctuation. Funny how only one reviewer so far has found the definitions of grammatical terms in the back. As for the 'molecular structure' review, pay that foolishness no mind. If you are looking for a textbook, look elsewhere (and let me know if you find a good one). This is a reference book, and a very good one.

Don't listen to the low reviewers

This book is excellent. It goes over every bit of Swedish grammar, with examples. The book is logically arranged for easy reference, with separate sections for nouns, verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, etc. To the one reviewer who said knowledge of English grammar terms is necessary: no, it isn't. The book has a glossary in the back that explains any linguistic terms used, from the most advanced to ones as simple as "noun". I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn Swedish. Linguophiles will love the presentation, but anyone can appreciate a quick course that presents all you need to know about Swedish grammar in under 100 pages.
