Reader Reviews:
Not for English speakers (4/4 people found this helpful)
As the introduction says, this book is intended for Swedish speakers who are learning English. It does not give Swedish noun declensions or verb tenses. Also, it gives the pronunciation of English words but not of the Swedish words. This book shouldn't be sold in US bookstores.
If you are learning Swedish, the Prisma dictionary is much more useful.
No gender indication for Swedish nouns (2/2 people found this helpful)
Indeed, this dictionary is quite useless for learning Swedish. Main flaw: no gender indication. Say, you want to translate "an oak". This dictionary won't give you a clue whether it is "en ek" or "ett ek". Also no plural forms are given. So for non-Swedish speakers, this is quite a waste of money.
Very inefficient for English speakers to use! (2/2 people found this helpful)
This book does not contain the genders of the nouns, or their formation in the plural. It is obviously for Swedish speakers only.
