I have just acquired Colloquial Gujarati and Teach yourself Gujarati. I have looked
through both books and they do seem quite similar so I'm guessing they'd compliment
each other nicely. Should I do both of them at once or should I do one and then the
other? Also, how is it best to study with these methods? There isn't really any
instructions on how to study that go into detail. How fast should I progress through
each chapter? Obviously, I know different people move at different paces, but I like
to have a daily plan of what I'll do.

I'd say stick with one until you get stuck then switch to the other. Once you get stuck, switch back. And so on.

From what I heard the "colloquial" series was rather crap. So I'd start off with the other one, and then go back to the colloquial one. Reason being the main crtisicsm of it was that it was not simple, nor for beginners, even when it claimed to be. The content is accurate I think, but lacks explanation which is suitable for someone who speaks English or any other I.E as a mother tongue.
