http://lexin.nada.kth.se/swe-eng.html, a good online dictionary.
http://www.lysator.liu.se/language/Languages/Swedish/Grammar.html, a pretty short grammar overview, but still useful.
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/1290/, Björn Engdahl's Swedish course.

Other than that....well, read online newspaper, for it is great practise. Also, I find the books of the Teach Yourself! series to be very good, or at least they did help me a great deal. All in all I'd say that the most complex feature of the Swedish language is its pronunciation. But once you manage to master that damn "sje-sound," the worst is done.

I also am learning Swedish, and what is helping for example: watching a movie with swedish subtitles (if the dvd has that function), i've bought a swedish harry potter book, with disks on which it is read out loud, a swedish e-post adres and installing The Sims2 in swedish, all the standard teksts i know, so in swedish i also understand them Smile

I started learning swedish a while ago but dropped it. Dunno why.
It wasn't really fun to learn it for me. But it was kinda easy for me to understand when I was reading something swedish. Maybe it's because I'm german and there are many words that are almost the same in swedish.
