Spanish is kind of, sort of everything. We just take advantage of the fact that these are three more or less intelligible languages we can communicate in.Of course this has to be done with respect and not just assuming that a bar tender in Lisbon has to absolutely understand everything you say to them in Spanish. Often, especially in Spain, they pretend that they have a hard time understanding Portuguese when in reality they do. This is all sooooooo wrong  Spanish may be great, but here are ten reasons why I’m learning Portuguese first, why you should too….and why Spanish can wait.Are we convinced the owner is an England supporter? In Spanish … Morocco is the other country that is usually shaded in as well.

Thanks for the comment!I am trying to learn Portuguese because my wife is Brasilian. Portugal is 20 minutes away from here, and my students often go there for weekend breaks.However, I’m often very disappointed with their behaviour! With its number of speakers reaching 178 million, Portuguese has the seventh largest number of speakers of any world language. I agree so much with what you said about Spanish people being resistant to learning other languages, yet I did come across some Spanish people that wanted to learn English more than any other group of Latinos….it was in Santo Domingo, even the very poor made an effort to lean English.
Em posição átona não existem vogais abertas, sendo que em posição átona final, o quadro vocálico do português fica reduzido a três fonemas vocálicos: a, i, u porque o e e o o fechados ficam reduzidos, respectivamente, a i e u: pele [´peli], dedo [´dedu].Não existem no espanhol vogais abertas com distinção fonológica, embora foneticamente haja realizações com maior ou menor abertura vocálica.

It seemed like a cross between Barcelona and Moscow surrounded by the no-go slums that are the flip side of Brazil’s image abroad.My first time in São Paulo…(only joking) (image (c) Howtogetfluent.com)Warts and all, there is no doubt that this country is addictive. There are many more Spanish speakers in North America than Portuguese speakers. I say at the beginning that Spanish may be great and at the end “Whisper it quietly, but I do feel some of the allure of Spanish. Respect for tackling Japanese and I hope you do manage to get to have a go at Portuguese too!Hispanic speakers can even understand the Portuguese language written a little. The Amazon and the threatened rainforests, Oscar Niemeyer’s modernist capital Brasília; iconic images from Rio de Janeiro too: Christ the Redeemer, the Sugar Loaf mountain, Copacabana and Ipanema….I don’t need to sell it to you. Apparently Latin does the same, but in a more difficult and irregular way. I don’t know any Latin….but I want to learn some.Good luck with your Englis, Einara. but like i said i love brazilian culture, ,music ,and the people are so friendly no disrespect to portugal i would only ever study portuguese because of brazil and anything after that would be a bonusThanks for the comment, Kevin! All aboard….for Portuguese. The intricate tense structures of English, German and Italian (perhaps ever so slightly less in French) encourage a certain type of clear and somewhat legalistic thinking.

I fell in love with Portuguese from my very first class; I loved the similarities  and differences that it had with Spanish. I’m a Brazilian/Portuguese, I grew up in Portugal and I can tell you, the european portuguese is way different from the Brazilian, people in Brazil often don’t understand a Portuguese, well but they don’t even understand each other either due to several different accents in the country hahaha And yeah, when I say my native language is portuguese people try to speak with me in spanish even though they don’t speak spanish at all, I always tell them “gracias” or “buenos dias” it is not portuguese.Thanks for the interesting comment, Lucas.
