Sorry, spoken cantonese would be very hard to learn from a book. As the grammer and many of the pronounciations are very unique to the dialect itself. A lot of the sounds are in long lower tones and have no vowel components.
The only practical way is to listen to real voices from cantonese speakers. As with learning any other language, learn short practical daily use terms and phrases first and build on them as you get more proficient with it.
I don’t think you should use books, as Cantonese uses many verbal/vocal words/sounds that don’t exist in the Chinese language or not very common or don’t make sense in mandarin. maybe you should get a personal tutor or a friend to teach you.
