This book was not really helpful to me as were other Teach Yourself titles. I do not know exactly why, maybe because I was just not motivated enough? Maybe the storytelling was a bit too slow for me? Anyway, I was not feeling like I am actually making a progress in my Portuguese.

Had to rush through it because it's a non-renewable library loan. Would love to spend more time with it at a later date.

Didn't like the divider sound in the audio part.
European Portuguese with British English.
Rather prefer the Brazilian version.
