Lindsborg Then and Lindsborg Now: Part One: Late 1860s to Early 1900s; Part Two: Year 2010 $18.05 Lindsborg Then (Late 1860s to Early 1900s) and Lindsborg Now By Bill Carlson BOOK DESCRIPTION This anecdotal history of Lindsborg, Kansas – often nicknamed "Little Sweden U.S.A. – is a quick read, providing loving insights and historical summaries of a unique small community in north central Kansas. Lindsborg perhaps is best-known nationally and internationally for its "Oberammergau-type" annual musical presentations of George Frederic Handel’s renowned oratorio masterpiece, the "Messiah," presented annually since 1882 every Easter-week by a large community and college chorus with orchestra. Founded by religious Swedish immigrants in 1869, Lindsborg (population 3,300) has maintained its bicultural ethnic roots, and today it is renowned for its festivals, foods, varied music, art of all types, and institutions including Bethany College – with many college activities including the "Swedes’" intercollegiate sports. Some say Lindsborg is better known in Sweden than in the U.S.A., but that may be hard to substantiate. With its Old World charm, along with its American prairie architecture and brick streets, Swedish visitors often say "Lindsborg is more Swedish than Sweden," as the visitors experience Swedish folk costumes, folk music and folk dancing (especially by both a high school group and an adult group). |

Swedish $41.55 "Compact Swedish," a stand-alone 10-lesson (5 hours) program, teaches beginning language strategies for essential communication and traveling needs, plus an introduction to reading.HEAR IT, LEARN IT, SPEAK IT(R) What is the Pimsleur(R) difference? The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Swedish structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Swedish can actually be enjoyable and rewarding. The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren’t given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only pieces — dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or even thousands of words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts. When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That same learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed. With Pimsleur you get: – Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation, – Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically, – The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere, – 30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting. Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever — without books, written exercises, or drills. |
