I watched the 3rd season of the Norwegian TV series "Dag". I hope there will be a 4th
one, it's really good.

Assimil Swedish 22-28
Assimil introduced the phrase "jag skulle vilja ..." (= I'd like to ...). Is this still
used or would you phrase it differently these days? I haven't come across this in real
life yet.

How is it used in the course? What comes after, object or verb?
Examples:
I'd like [a cup of coffee].
I'd like [to go to Paris].
Anyway, I use the expression "Jag skulle vilja..." in both kinds of sentences.

Thanks Jeff. It's used with a verb so far.

Assimil Swedish 29-31
The lessons are getting longer...
Like in Assimil Danish, there are lots of mistakes (typos) in the texts. This really
shouldn't happen in a book for language learners.
And the audio is horrible. I really like Skånska, but this woman sounds very annoying
and old. And then the guy who speaks through his nose...
Did they get better speakers for the new version?

Actually, I don't think that "Jag skulle vilja..." is as common as "Jag vill...", but it isn't outdated, overly formal or anything like that. (Funnily enough, I just wrote it on Skype)
As for the mistakes/typos/audio, I haven't seen (or listened to) the course, but I remember having seen the occasional oddity in some of my courses (German, French or Spanish).
