Have been reading this on and off for the last 6 months。 I’ve read the first half of the book around 3 times。 I put it down for a while and breezed through the 2nd half。 I think the book was great and had a lot of useful words and vocabulary which I am trying to implement everyday。 Would recommend this to anyone learning swedish。 I think I’m ready for my first actual Swedish book 😬

I think the book fulfilled its purpose， easy stories with vocab lists at the end of each chapter。 I did learn quite a few new words but the stories were relatively boring which i found a little disappointing。 Overall good for beginner readers， just don‘t expect a great plot from the stories。

Excellent！ Not too easy， nor too difficult。 Just right。

This book is a great concept and has really helped me to gain confidence in my Swedish reading ability。 The stories themselves are really interesting， however there is a great satisfaction when you finish each short story in knowing that you have been able to understand a story in a foreign language。 It's just a shame that there is currently no follow-up targeting the next level of reader。 This book is a great concept and has really helped me to gain confidence in my Swedish reading ability。 The stories themselves are really interesting， however there is a great satisfaction when you finish each short story in knowing that you have been able to understand a story in a foreign language。 It's just a shame that there is currently no follow-up targeting the next level of reader。 。。。more

Some stories were more interesting than others。 But I liked the format， the word lists， the fact I could listen to the audiobook whilst reading the kindle version of the book， and the läsförståelsefrgor for each chapter。

Gabriella ，

Great selection of stories from many different genres， with well thought out vocabulary。 I liked the comprehension questions too。 I would love a second version of this book at B1-B2 level to follow on！

I have just finished Short Stories in Swedish for Beginners by Olly Richards。 I think it is really good。There are eight short stories。 The first has four chapters and I believe the rest have only three （did not go back and verify）。 Each chapter ends with a summary， a vocabulary list， and a five multiple choice question quiz。 There is an answer key and a Swedish English Glossary。 The book begins with an Introduction and chapters on How to Read Effectively and The Six-step Reading Process。I was ab I have just finished Short Stories in Swedish for Beginners by Olly Richards。 I think it is really good。There are eight short stories。 The first has four chapters and I believe the rest have only three （did not go back and verify）。 Each chapter ends with a summary， a vocabulary list， and a five multiple choice question quiz。 There is an answer key and a Swedish English Glossary。 The book begins with an Introduction and chapters on How to Read Effectively and The Six-step Reading Process。I was able to read and understand the stories even though I did not know all the words。 I followed the six-step process。 I read each story once without looking up any words and then a second time looking up words and phrases。 Having the Kindle edition was very helpful since it included hyperlinks for some of the new vocabulary。 。。。more

There's a lot to like about this book。 There aren't many others with stories in simple Swedish so it fills a real need。 I like that stories are short and cover a variety of topics and settings so there's a nice range of vocab。 The problem for me was that the stories were a bit too childish。 Characters behaved in the weirdest ways and the plots felt kind of like a steam of consciousness。 Ultimately I couldn't bring myself to finish it。 （But I was able to read Vinden från öster by Margit Sandemo s There's a lot to like about this book。 There aren't many others with stories in simple Swedish so it fills a real need。 I like that stories are short and cover a variety of topics and settings so there's a nice range of vocab。 The problem for me was that the stories were a bit too childish。 Characters behaved in the weirdest ways and the plots felt kind of like a steam of consciousness。 Ultimately I couldn't bring myself to finish it。 （But I was able to read Vinden från öster by Margit Sandemo so if you can read these stories you can probably try over of the books from the Isfolket series。）If you enjoy the stories or can get past them and enjoy the book for its pedagogical strengths then I'd highly recommend it。 Otherwise I look forward to giving a chance to any follow up Olly Richards writes because like I said there aren't very many books for learning this great language。 。。。more
