It starts as a really good language book, but... I started to feel irritated along the course.

First and foremost, there are errors here and there... Poor proofread...

The two male voice actors (Kalle/Robert or the one who read Unit 8 text) are annoying: one speaks with an extremely sleepy voice (not sure whether he stayed focused), the other speaks as quickly as he can, like he doesn't want you to follow! His voice is not as clear either, as in he has something in his mouth while talking... I felt the impulse to skip the whole text whenever the two speak.

The contents, especially the dialogues, are getting boring from Unit 6/7 as well. The characters (for dialogues' sake) are superficial and shallow as well.

I don't know if I should consider this book "read" until I am actually fluent in Swedish. I have worked through chapters 1-4 like 3 times, and I've worked through 5-8 once or one and a half times, and I've skimmed the rest.

I'm trying (sort of) to learn to speak Swedish. So far, I've only gotten through the first chapter . . .

Very helpful for leaning Swedish in your own. But must accompany real life practice
