Review: The best self-study language course I have used - I speak both Italian and Brazilian Portuguese and have a C1 CILS certification in Italian. I have friends that I speak to in both languages who do not speak English well and pursue several hobbies through these languages almost exclusively. I am stating this simply to demonstrate that I have used a lot of self-study resources for foreign languages and I have been successful with at least two languages. I am a firm believer that I do not have any specific gift for language learning and that anyone will be successful if they make engaging with the language as it is used by native speakers a daily priority and also have friendships, even if just Internet friendships, that are lived through the language they are learning. That is to say people and processes (systems) are more important than resources. Good resources can get you far if you do things right. And there is a lot of room for us to do things "right". But there are certain resources that are so well crafted that they make things easier for you. They are not just good, they are great. I believe that Complete Swedish is one of these and should actually be used as a model for all of the Teach Yourself Complete series books. Complete Swedish clearly owed a debt in how it is structured to Rivstart. I know that Dr. Haake is familiar with the series and likely used it in her own classes. This is not to say at all that she plagiarized but the structure of that course and how it follows the CEFR and focuses on communication and relationships very clearly influenced Dr. Haake when she created this course. But Rivstart is not a self-study course! You either have to be very patient and put in a lot of work or you need a competent instructor to use Rivstart. Dr. Haake, I believe, has distilled the most important aspects of Rivstart and combined it with her experience and education to create a real gem. I wish I had had something like this for Portuguese back in the day! This, combined with resources like 8Sidor and Lätt svenska med Oskar, will get you to B2. Oh, and Bluey. The Swedish Bluey is the best Bluey. And at under $30, it's a steal. Just the student's book of Rivstart A1-A2 will cost more than that! Some folks who are learning a language on their own for the first time may find this book a bit too hard at first. It might be best to start with something like Pimsleur's Swedish before moving on to this book. In my experience, it can be difficult for some folks to understand that languages are not fungible in the sense that in English you say X but in Spanish you say Y. Other languages are not simply cyphers for English, the same as English with just different words. Some first-time learners can get very hung up on this and fixate on things that are not important making the process seem harder than it is. If you start using this book and early on you get to the point where a few things just don't make sense and you find it difficult to move past them, then it might be best to start with Pimsleur and ease in a bit to the process. But do not doubt that this book is excellent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best self-study language course I have used

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book!
*by J***Y on September 30, 2024*

It’s a really great book to learn beginner Swedish - I was already doing some Duolingo before this book, and it made me happy that I could read and understand the words. The book tells you the “why” on the grammar and how the language works and “how” to form sentences that are grammatically correct within the language. The audio is also available with the book and helps me understand how to speak the words, even the tricky ones. This is definitely a great first step into the language and very beginner-friendly!
