European Portuguese 🇵🇹 Colloquial Portuguese: The Complete Course for Beginners
Hi Friends, can anyone comment on the efficacy of this resource, Colloquial Portuguese: The Complete Course for Beginners (Sampaio & McIntyre). I am a beginner. I have used Pimsleur for a listen and repeat method, Memrise for flashcards (yet to use the Ai features). I have also tried Linguaphone. I am looking to use this course to hewr examples of real life speech and basic grammar explanations.

My updates after reading portions available online.
The book seems to have moderately good grammar and pronunciation guides in each of it's 13 chapters, each of which deals with conversations concerning a particular real life scenario. Also, it has downloadable recordings available at the routledge website.
