Jag f?st? lite svenska...., November 17, 2004

Reviewer:		J. Corbin (Lund, Sweden)

I am currently living in the Sk?e region of Sweden and am using this program to help improve my Swedish. This program gives a good foundation for spoken and written Swedish - when accompanied by daily practice (newspapers, radio, books, etc...) and exposure to the spoken language.

PROS:
The Rosetta Stone method is painfully simple. The speaker reads a phrase and you click on a matching picture. There is a lot of repitition which makes it easy to retain the information you learn. There is quite a lot of vocabulary introduced, but not so quickly that it gets frustrating.

CONS:
The cost of this program is outrageous. I could take private Swedish Courses with a professional Swedish language instructor for this price. Luckily I was able to borrow a copy from the City Library, or else I would not have used this program.
