This grammar-reader is based on almost twenty years' experience of
teaching beginners the Swedish language and is reassuringly
practical in approach. Miss Hird's aims are threefold: to provide a
compromise between the traditional grammar-readers and the new
textbooks which are not designed for beginners outside Sweden; to
supply grammatical information and exercises and reading texts
together for ease of reference; and to stimulate the student's
interest in Swedish life, institutions and culture. The grammar
part of the book is in seventeen lessons, each comprising a text in
Swedish which Miss Hird has specially composed to include useful
vocabulary and graded grammatical points upon which exercises
(including translation exercises) are set for practice. The central
theme of the texts is Stockholm, and attractive drawings illustrate
it. To help the student, there is a full vocabulary list covering
all the lessons, a brief summary of Swedish grammar, a glossary of
grammatical terms, a check list of irregular verbs and a
comprehensive index of the grammatical points covered in the book.
In the reader part of the book, the texts chosen range from a short
play by Strindberg to a sketch by Stig Claesson, one of Sweden's
most popular contemporary authors. Each text is preceded by a short
biographical and literary introduction and is followed by questions
designed to test the student's comprehension and to stimulate his
appreciation.
