Intermediate Swedish

This workbook pairs a grammar reference with practice material for learners who have moved past the basics of Swedish. Its twenty-six units each take up one or more grammatical points, illustrating them with examples in Swedish and English before the exercises reinforce them. Vocabulary is drawn from a large corpus of written Swedish, so the language reflects how it is actually used today. Readers can also cross-refer between units, and the book includes more than one hundred exercises with answers for every question.

Each unit closes with a short cultural passage about some aspect of Swedish life. These passages usually revisit the unit's grammar, so the cultural reading also reinforces what was just studied. Across the book, the everyday language is set against the country's culture, society, geography, customs and history, giving context for the lessons.

The volume builds on Basic Swedish and is aimed at second-year students or anyone with a firm grasp of Swedish grammar and vocabulary. It suits independent study as well as use in a classroom.
