Comments on: Book Containing Nouns and Their Gender? http://www.transparent.com/swedish/book-containing-nouns-and-their-gender/ Language and Culture of the Swedish-Speaking World Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:27:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Charlie Anderson http://www.transparent.com/swedish/book-containing-nouns-and-their-gender/comment-page-1/#comment-104 Charlie Anderson Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:58:32 +0000 http://www.transparent.com/swedish/?p=22#comment-104 I just received my Svensk skolordlista which I found at Pilegaard in Denmark, www.antikvar.dk/pilegaard . The price was slightly higher than Bokus but they deliver to the US (shipping is fairly expensive). It took about a week to get it. I found the Routledge dictionary, one of the Prisma series, but from the description I wasn't sure if it actually listed the gender for each noun or if it simply discussed the issue. A sample page would have been very helpful. Thank you for the effort in providing the interesting and helpful discussion.

I have seen it in the foreign language section of Waterstone's.

Where I live in the US, there are not any language classes for learning Swedish? Also, which other grammar books for learning Swedish do you think are good to have for the beginner? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and Thank you, Lelia Hiya Anna,

I found two Swedish grammar books in English from Routledge, but no dictionary, not even as an out-of-print item. Maybe Sean will come back to tell us. And btw, Routledge website must be one of the most user unfriendly websites ever! Ugh! I did some serious searching yesterday, and I still must say that Svensk skolordlista is so far the best all-around resource I have found. Not just for the noun gender problem, but also for prepositions, verbs, idioms and explanations. Hi Merril,
