Hi all,
I'm looking for a vocabulary book in the vein of the Wort fur Wort series ie. thematic lists intended for the intermediate or advanced learner. I've had a good old root around and haven't been able to come up with anything, not even on the Swedish-to-English side of things. Does such a thing, or even a basic '5000 Swedish words' exist? Thanks for any help! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi,
After a few more weeks of searching for an 'Advanced Swedish Vocabulary' I gave up and decided to write one myself. I now have about 3000 words compiled and am aiming to get it published - either professionally or as a public domain internet downloadable. If anyone has expertise that may be brought to bear on proofing the list (being a Swedish native speaker or scholar of the language), then please PM me. UK residents preferred, so that we might meet in person before finishing the work (essential). I have been careful in double checking everything whilst compiling, so the work shouldn't need too much chopping and changing. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It won't help you, but for those who know German there is a very good book, which was released just a few months ago:
Lothar und Irmela Adelt: Grund- und Aufbauwortschatz Schwedisch ISBN 978-3-87548-533-2 It contains a vocabulary of 9000 words (that's the claim) in about 100 categories. This is not just a huge list of words, but it comes with many examples of the vocabulary in context. The authors write in the introduction that they collected the vocabulary and examples by ploughing through all Swedish language textbooks available in German. It's by far the best vocabulary book I've seen for any language. The book comes with a CD-ROM that contains the book in PDF format.

Outstanding - that's towards the larger end of the scale as far as vocab books go. I can read German, so will order it forthwith. Thanks for the tip! 1 person has voted this message useful |
