FSI Swedish Basic Course developed from a need to provide a more comprehensive and up-to-date curriculum than had been afforded by an earlier work, Spoken Swedish. The latter had been produced during the 1950's by William R. Van Buskirk and Frits Frauchiger of the FSI linguistic staff, with the assistance of members of the staff of the Post Language Program of the American Embassy in Stockholm.
The Swedish Basic Course provides all of the essential information and vocabulary for learning to speak everyday Swedish. It uses drills and exercises to cover a wide range of conventional situations, and also covers grammatical structure and pronunciation pitfalls that present difficulties for the English speaker. The latter part of the course emphasizes reading and translation. With 15 CDs and a book.
