I do not recommend getting the Pimsleur Danish Audiobook because I feel "Teach Yourself Danish" is a better value and easier to use. This book offers easy step-by-step learning and 2 audio CDs for your trip to Denmark.List price $28.95.
5. Pimsleur Swedish Audiobook (Audio CD)
Listen to easy Swedish translations and repeat after the speakers on the CD - it's as easy as that. A small drawback are the higher prices of Pimsleur language CDs. This item does not come with written materials, but you'll be able to communicate in Sweden!List price $49.95.

Icelandic can be hard to learn, but this book with 2 audio CDs is probably the best course available. This language book is very nice for Iceland travelers that want to learn to speak and understand the Icelandic language.List price $29.95.
7. Beginner's Finnish
While Finnish is often not considered one of the Scandinavian languages, travelers will still get far speaking it in Scandinavia, especially in parts of Sweden. This book is a thorough course of Finnish and, if you don't memorize a lot of it, will make for a good reference book while you're traveling in Finland and Sweden.List price $14.95, 290 pages.
