Skandinaviska sagor – Skandinavische Märchen auf Schwedisch

About the book

Content and approach

Fairy tales offer a natural and enjoyable way to learn Swedish. As you read accessible Swedish stories, you also discover the Nordic tradition of legends set among forests, mountains, lakes, trolls and other mysterious beings. This book contains 30 traditional Scandinavian fairy tales and legends adapted into straightforward A2-level Swedish. The adaptations preserve their plots and atmosphere while making them easier to follow. Under each story is a list of important words and expressions, with the relevant terms highlighted in bold in the text. That means you can read without constantly reaching for a dictionary. Intended for A1–A2 learners, independent study and relaxed reading, the collection combines complete stories, vocabulary support in Swedish and German, classic Nordic-style illustrations and learning through context. Each tale brings the language and the world of Nordic folklore a little closer.
