I am Brazilian and I speak Portuguese.
Some people think that Brazilians speak Spanish, but that is not true and i also makes me
I saw a couple of movies and tv serie's closed caption/subtitles referring to Portuguese as Spanish, I thought it is so weird :dunno:
I speak Portuguese and I learned Spanish at college and I took three years of German when I was younger. My wife is learning French and she teaches me some words once in a while.
It was so much fun to put the words together when we went to Quebec and nobody spoke in English to us, so we kind of had to try with gestures, it was so much fun. It was fun up to the point we got a flat tire, and with nobody that could change our tire and could speak English with us, it as quite an adventure.
I love learning new stuff, so go ahead, use your brain, make your life worth it and remember that knowledge is the only thing nobody would steal from you.
Sorry for the long story, I just wanted to share this with you.
Cheers,
Fernando
