I really think this book does an excellent job of profiling so much culture and values of Sweden. Well also teaching the language. It is also an ideal speed run through all of the major points of Swedish grammar. My one critique is that it showcases too much specific vocabulary rather than focusing on a small More useful amount of essential vocabulary and the dictionaries at the end seem random in what they include and don’t include.

I've searched high and low for a Swedish language learning book and this is by FAR the best I've found. The learning is intuative, the exercises are engaging, it's got everything you need right there. If you're going to learn Swedish and want a textbook to guide you, THIS is it.
