Swedish: A New Basic Course (Foreign Service Institute Language Series)

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 1950s by William R. van Buskirk and Fritz Frauchiger of the FSI linguistic staff, with the assistance of members of the staff of the Post Language Program of the US Embassy in Stockholm.

FSI Swedish Basic Course is intended primarily for use as the foundation for intensive classroom use with a qualified instructor, but it has also been designed so that the student who does not have the benefit of an instructor may use the text and its accompanying tapes with profit.
