PURPOSE: Speaking conversational Swedish.

MATERIAL ASSIGNED:

Foreign Service Institute, Swedish Basic Course. (SBC) {Provisional Version}.

LL Call No.: PD/5121/U6

RESTRICTION: None

MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF CREDIT AVAILABLE: 4 units

METHOD OF STUDY:

For each Unit in SBC,

1. Listen to the entire dialogue while following the English translation in the book to tell you what the foreign sentences mean.

2. Listen again, stopping the tape after each sentence and repeating after the speaker. You may glance at the foreign transcription to help you with details in the pronunciation.

3. Listen and repeat each sentence several more times. Avoid reading the written Swedish.

4. Read each sentence in English and try to produce the Swedish translation without looking in the book or listening to the tape. Check yourself against the tape.

5. Say the sentences of the dialogue along with the speaker on the tape again and again until you can produce the foreign sentences easily and quickly given only the English ones as cues.

For Units 1-7 read the Hints on Pronunciation sections and practice the exercises on tape, following the instructions in the book. You may increase your comprehension of the language by listening to the Listening In sections. The other sections of the text may be useful, but they are not part of the course and will not be tested.
