I would warmly recommend FSI Swedish which I find even better than Assimil http://fsi-language-courses.org/Content.php?page=Swedish Besides it is free and contains both reading and audio.
But nothing is better than using simultaneously different methods. That is what I did with Swedish, drifting from Assimil and Teach Yourself to FSI. Then if you find one boring you just use another one and so on and so forth.
Lycka till !

Bump!
I can't find linguaphone anywhere for a reasonable price.
I don't think there is an English-based assimil and I'm not going to take a risk if there might be, I don't know anything about French or German.
I downloaded the FSI book thing.
Anything else that might help? Some textbook or something?

Oh!
And I'd -prefer- something which is modern. But I'll take anything that's reasonably old, as well! :)

Thought I'd already written this, strange...
But you'll want to check out LingQ.com's Swedish library. All modern stuff, with audio and matching transcript. Arranged roughly according to level. Armed with something like Teach Yourself Swedish (which I own and have used and which is quite good), you should pretty much be set!
