Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Swedish thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of A Voyage to Abyssinia by Father Jerome Lobo was edited for three audiences. The first includes Swedish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Swedish speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Swedish in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Swedish Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Swedish or English.

This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Swedish thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of A Voyage to Abyssinia. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Swedish-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Swedish, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Swedish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Swedish or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement® (AP®) tests.
