Them Elks goes Linguaphone (without the cassettes)

A few weeks ago, after a little procrastinating (read just under 10 years or so...), I decided to re-join my old church choir. One of the many good things about this is that we practice in the church hall where there is a giant of a bookshelf with all sorts of literature. In this giant one often finds great stuff and I'd thought you might like this gem. Mainly because I have a feeling you too long to expand your knowledges, yes? Well good, here is your chance to learn Swedish, as spoken in 1954, for free!

Our course book bearing the warm welcoming title Swedish for Foreigners. (Yes, ALL of the book is in Swedish but you're probably be smart enough you'll pick it up in no time)

by Gunnar Rosen
third edition
illustrator: Bertil Nilsson

Alrighty then, any questions, so far?

Nice, I appreciate your faith in me, I think I can do this. I am glad we are taking it slow. What is "stort"?
Big or old?
