Recommended Resources for European Portuguese
General recomendations
Try to study for 15 minutes every day, consistency is more effective than cramming once a week.
Try to order in your local cafe or Supermarket counter in Portuguese, they will not laugh, they will be happy that you are trying, and most peoplw will help if you have difficluties.
If you are looking for A2 certification for Portuguese Residence or Citizenship, then the best place to start will be your local High School. Most major Towns and Cities offer night school lessons starting September / October each year, althought these are getting more popular so yo umight need to join a waiting list.
It is also likely that they will add back the Citizentship module, that I did back in 2008. The new Citizenship requirements have an requiremt to understand the culture, history and flag of Portugal.
