Prima's Swedish-English Dictionary (Swedish and English edition)

I loved this dictionary (I've got the third edition) : for a book of its size,it has a great deal of the words I need - and the phonetic symbols are clear and easy to get. Of course,for a deeper study of Swedish,one would need a bigger and more detailed one but any dictionary of this size can not be asked more than this, in my opinion.

An Absolute Necessity

I find myself getting absorbed in this book every time I look up a word! There are many useful idiomatic phrases for the word, along with the various related prepositions, endings and assorted definitions. Just browsing through this dictionary is a substantial language lesson. I will get the English-Swedish volume also but am glad the two books are not in one volume, as that would be too much to handle. Readers should go through the notes at the beginning of the book, to get full advantage from how the entries are presented. I highly recommend.

Prisma's Swedish-English Dictionary-A Great Investment

The first time I saw this book was when I decided to buy it,being that there is a great lack of useful Swedish Dictionaries published in the English language. However, when I received this dictionary it well out-did itself. Not only does it have a section on Swedish pronunciation, noun endings, and other grammatical features at the beginning, it gives numerous phrases and other helpful words associated with most every word you look up. Beware, that if you think this book is Swedish-English, English-Swedish (as I mistakingly did), you're in for a surprise. However, if you do decide to buy the complement edition to this book-the English-Swedish version-you are once again in for a treat, as it presents the same quality as this book, only for English-Swedish translations.This really was a great investment, and I urge anyone interested in the Swedish language to pick this (as well as the companion volume) up, along with either Routledge's Comprehensive Swedish Grammar (if you're really serious), Routledge's Essential Swedish Grammar (if you're just interested or need a small review)in addition to a good Swedish course (Colloquial Swedish-with the cassettes of course-is a good beginner's course).
