Spanish. I was a Spanish, French, Latin, and ESL teacher before retirement. 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. and returned to Spanish. So Other Romance languages, like Spanish, French and Italian, have a lot in common with Portuguese. These languages are considered some of the most beautiful and romantic languages in the world.Now, let’s get real: They are called Romance languages because they descend from the language Roman people spoke and not because they are romantic, but the fact remains that we have come to associate them with love.But French, Italian and Spanish are not alone in the Romance language family! Enjoy it! The two are often bracketed together (they share 80% or so of their vocab/structures and an intertwined history). So if you love soccer, Portuguese is a great language to learn.French. No! in Spanish without ever having studied the language. And you will soon be able to use it for Portuguese learning. Just look at the maps of the world under languages and you will notice that the Philippines is shaded the same colour i.e., along with all of the other officially Spanish speaking countries. IsabelleMany thanks for your comment, Isabelle. Other Romance languages include Catalan, Romanian and, you guessed it, Portuguese!Because of this, Brazil is a big player in international business, so learning Portuguese might give you an edge in the business world.Portugal’s history of exploration brought together food, culture and products from around the world, so And Brazil and Portugal are just the tip of the iceberg! Methods, matrials and stories to help you maximise your effectiveness on the road to fluencyIn-depth explorations, actionable tips and inspiring conversations for language learners who REALLY want to get fluent…..plus a little but of fun along the way.I’m sometimes asked in surprise why I’ve chosen to learn Portuguese instead of its close – and more pushy – relative, Spanish. As a Spanish speaker who learned both languages I tell you with no doubt that Portuguese is easier to learn.
This means thatPlus, speaking a less commonly studied language looks super cool on any résumé.Perhaps because it is overshadowed by its super-popular sibling, it can be difficult to find in-person Portuguese courses.
He sent me a song he wrote and sang, which made me realize how unbelievably beautiful this language sounds.I am Spanish speaker and I can have a conversation without so much problem with a Portuguese speaker, I can even read in Portuguese, there are some differences grammatically between these two languages, but are just a few, and you can learn them so quick. Thanks for sharing. I have no problem with Spanish at all and I wouldn’t say I’m putting down that language. Great for modern architecture lovers….as long as they drive a car (image (c) Howtogetfluent.com)Ding, ding! I tried to enrol in a Portuguese class three years running in university. I teach ESL in the USA and I have students from different countries in my classes and I find that the students that make the fewest efforts to learn English are those from Spanish-speaking countries. Portugal is popular with tourists for its beauty and affordability.Sports fans rejoice! Opportunities for speaking and listening to Spanish are greater than Portuguese. I am definitely getting a desire to learn Portuguese now. (image (c) Howtogetfluent.com)And I thought Chico Buarque was a musician….there’s much to learn in Portuguese letters (image (c) Howtogetfluent.com)Nice instruments, guys!

They believe that the world begins and ends with Spanish.They are so convinced that Spanish is a great international language, but it is not. Even those who had good education basis, hardly use colloquially form.. It’s because it’s faster, simpler to speak. I have a humorous dig at Spanish but only because I think Portuguese is under appreciated and could do with a bit of a boost. There are sizeable communities in Boston, the New England states, California (although Spanish is of course, much more widespread in the US). You could also try an app such as HelloTalk, which I’ve heard good things about (though I haven’t tried it myself yet). Do 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 am hoping one day I will be able to have a basic conversation with my Brasilian family.Good luck, Jim. That’s one problem I don’t have, not knowing any Spanish at all!Wow! O mesmo quadro vocálico mantém-se em posição átona, pois não há elevação vocálica nem mesmo em posição final: leche [´letfe], dedo [´dedo].Conclusão final: Verificamos muito sucintamente que o espanhol e o português, embora tendo como tronco comum o latim ibérico, apresentam diferenças em todos os seus aspectos, desde os fonético-fonológicos até os lexicais, sem deixar de lado algumas diferenças morfológicas e sintáticas. And I have to be nice to them but I always get itchy because I want to yell at them that “this is Portugal not Spain, your stupid!” but I can’t I teach English in Spain, but I live very close to the Portuguese border. It’s a sweet language.Thanks very much for the great post.
