Does anyone know if the Portuguese version of this book is European or Brazilian?

It is a neutral version. That is what is written in the book anyway.

How would you rate you level in Portuguese, or any language really, after completing the
self-teacher?

I saw in another thread, that you actually asked a similar question, but nobody responded to it. I have the books, but have not used the Portuguese one yet. That goal is for next year. Upon browsing and checking the glossary, and by guessing I would put it approaching A2?

The amount of words are about 1000+, but below 2000. This book is geared towards beginners after all, so do not rely just on this resource, even how great it is.

Maybe A2. I have used the French and the German, but not the Portuguese one. I like them, but I think they're only
suitable as supplementary material since there's no audio.

In my eyes, if you had to travel to Brazil/Portugal in a few weeks, and wanted to "get around" I'd happily use this book. With some extra vocabulary and grammar study, you could have a really good time without being completely blinded by the language itself :)
