Rivstart's new 3rd Edition uses both humor and seriousness.  Students get good opportunities to develop their skills in reading, writing, listening and conversing in Swedish.

The teaching material contains varied text types and fun tasks with a focus on communication. The formal language of the teaching material helps the students to easily navigate between different content parts - grammar, facts about the Swedish language, useful words and phrases and information about Sweden. The content and grammatical progression are based on the level descriptions in the Council of Europe's level scale (GERS).
