Get Started in Swedish Absolute Beginner Course: (Book and audio support) (Teach Yourself)

Very good and easy to understand.

The book, contrary to its claims, is not for absolute beginners. There is very little introduction to the language before you’re asked to listen to and interpret fairly complex dialogues.

This book is definitely not a book for beginners. No introduction to the language or basics of it. It jumps straight away to long texts and missing a lot of explanations and translations

I am no linguist, and I found this very difficult to use, the spoken Swedish on the CD is spoken very quickly and not repeated. It didn't feel like a beginners course at all!
