It really depends... In general, Portuguese speakers understand Spanish better than Spanish speakers understand Portuguese, but that doesn't mean they don't understand it completely, since both are more than 80% similar... Unless it's a variant of Portuguese that's more distant from Spanish, as is often the case with Portuguese from Portugal (which not infrequently even other Portuguese speakers understand). But another thing that makes it easier for Portuguese speakers to understand Spanish than the opposite is that Portuguese speakers study Spanish in school, while Spanish speakers generally don't.
@@figura2000 that only applies to both European Portuguese and Spanish. Most Brazilians don’t have the same ease to understand Spanish, and many Latin American Spanish speakers understand Brazilian Portuguese quite well, but not the European version. European Portuguese has more phonemes so it’s not hard to understand all Portuguese and Spanish around the world, as they have less sounds and speak all syllables.
@@vastoaspecto Portuguese people don’t study Spanish at school…. At least they didn’t, not sure about nowadays. As a Portuguese person I can say Spanish sounds like an easier and older version of Portuguese, hence it’s quite easier to understand. Some words may be unfamiliar but we can always get the meaning by the sentence. It’s almost like Spanish people are speaking Portuguese with less vowels and consonants than the ones we use, and with all syllables correctly pronounced. Ad an example, I emigrated to another country and my kids are native speakers of both Portuguese and the other European language. First time they heard Spanish, as toddlers, they asked me why those people were speaking weird Portuguese. Funny enough, they asked the same when they heard Brazilian Portuguese 😆
@@xz3024 i am Brazilian and i understand very much the spanish, 70~80%, (more difficult when they speak very fast), i think they can understand brazilian pt, but less ...40%~60%...in portuguese whe have many strange sounds when speaking, accents...and spanish has a 'cleaner' sound, they speak very much like the word in 'on paper'...but portuguese from portugal is worse...
learning both and my native language is English, and definitely have to agree with you that Spanish is easier phonetically for sure, still the sound of the Portuguese language is beautiful 😊
I learned Portuguese before Spanish, and while my Portuguese is far stronger than my Spanish at the moment, I'm able to at least hold a conversation in Spanish and I can basically understand everything I hear (barring slang).
As a non-native Spanish speaker. Reading Portuguese is easier than understand them speaking. Brazilan Portuguese is easier though. They do seem to speak more clearly in my ears.
I had to make a choice, because I'm retired, and I don't have time to learn both. I hesitated a little, but two things made me choose Spanish. I'm better at playing Cuban music than Brazilian music. I feel at home in afro-cuban music while I always feel I'm trying to play samba. I rarely heard a European or estadounidense drummer playing correctly Brazilian music. The second reason is : Spanish is spoken in 30 countries. That also means more books, more movies, more music. I almost forgot : I'm french, and I live close to Spain. I can take the train to travel to Madrid.
@@xzevedo Conozco la música brasileña, soy un fan de João Bosco, puedo tocar el tamborim (el pandeiro es demasiado difícil). Como lo dije, me siento más cómodo con la música Cubana y no soy un genio, no puedo tocar todo. Tuve que elegir un idioma.
I'm a Portuguese speaker and I understand almost 100% Spanish but I never studied it before.... Portuguese is the best option first and then you will know Spanish 100% for sure
Eu falo português e entendo muito o espanhol, antes de estudar a língua eu já entendia, meu problema maior é escrever e falar sem parecer um português com sotaque, ler é super fácil principalmente textos de jornais, revistas e outras coisas que usam um espanhol padrão. Tentarei sanar meus problemas em espanhol em um futuro próximo! Hablo portugués y entiendo mucho el español, antes de estudiar el idioma ya lo entendía, mi mayor problema es escribir y hablar sin sonar portugués con acento, leer es súper fácil, sobre todo textos de periódicos, revistas y otras cosas que usan español estándar. ¡Intentaré resolver mis problemas en español en un futuro próximo!
Coming from someone who's native English & was self taught Spanish... I would say to learn PORTUGUESE first. They're both good languages to learn but I'd recommend Port before Spanish. It'll make it easier in the long run for learning Spanish and when you begin learning Spanish your foundation will be so much more boulder than learning Spanish into Portuguese. I speak to my Brazil friends in Spanish and they speak to me in Port. They understand a grand majority of what I say but I only understand about 50-60% of what they say with a generalized idea. None the less, most of us also speak English as a first or second language so we switch to that too when needed. Either way, learning Spanish or Portuguese will open big opportunities and you will always find someone who speaks either of the two, French, German or Mandarin Chinese if you live in the US. :-)
I know BOTH English and Spanish. Spanish is easy I KNOW a lot of people who learned Spanish within 6 months and speak it better than me lol…I want to learn Portuguese so bad! Hearing this video motivates me to learn Portuguese! I can understand some Portuguese when I hear it because some words sounds so similar to Spanish! Brazilian superstar XUXU learned Spanish too and her Spanish is perfect but her English isn’t that great!
I cannot speak either and have only been to Spain but planning to visit Portugal next year.Which language should I learn? Spanish seems to be more practical as used in other places whereas Portuguese is only spoken in Portugal in Europe.If I start learning Spanish now will that help me in 6 months to understand Portuguese at least?
Não é fácil assim, português é mais difícil que espanhol, sobretudo o de Portugal! Se for aprender o português é melhor o brasileiro, se você souber ele, vai ficar fácil aprender o Espanhol futuramente, falo sendo brasileiro e tendo a minha vida inteira entendido espanhol. Eu acho sinceramente que em 6 meses você consegue conversar em português, formar frases cotidianas e ler textos.
I would say it depends on your goals. If you want to focus on speech, so portuguese is the best option and it will also allow you to understand spanish easier since Portuguese speakers understand more than 90% of what is spoken in Spanish, but if your goal is focusing on reading and writing skills you should learn Spanish because, grammatically speaking, Portuguese is a bit more complicated.
Peace. I speak Brazilian Portuguese fluently and have been wanting to learn Spanish. It's been so difficult to find any resources that go from PT to ES, as you said, and it gets boring going through the introductory material for Spanish, which feels like so much time wasted on overlap, as it's basically patronizingly obvious to people fluent in PT. I'm interested now to hear about the bootcamp that you provide and will look into the service. Are these just bootcamps to learn ES or PT from scratch? Or, do you have PT -> ES bootcamps?
You might be an English teacher. I wonder if I could work as a translator abroad as well. Most part of English teachers here are Brazilian, it would be better if they were from outside. Idk I just think my English teacher is not good because I learned much more at home than she taught me.
Se você souber inglês, japonês, alemão, coreano pode ganhar bem, mas não é bom esquecer que tem a questão da moeda, o custo de vida e também as questões que o Brasil é bem mais barato e mais caro que o mundo em várias coisas....(Não sou bom em inglês, por isso escrevi em português)
i am intermediate to advanced in Spanish and just beginning Portuguese...should i focus on completing Spanish first then learn Portuguese or is it a good idea to learn both together even though i am at different levels ?
You can study both at the same time, but you have to be careful not to confuse them. A good way to separate them is to chat via video call with people who speak both languages or use Chatgpt's voice chat tool. I know that Brazilians, at least, really like to help speakers of other languages to speak Portuguese and teach them about their own culture as well; they are usually very kind and friendly.
I would say Spanish is more beneficial. More speakers in the USA and more Spanish speaking countries around the world. For the most part, Brazilian Portuguese is only helpful in Brazil.
It all depends on the circumstances and the objective. There are 9 countries with Portuguese as their official language and there are even more countries where Portuguese is spoken by a significant percentage of the population. Even in the US, there are states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Utah, with very significant numbers of Portuguese speakers. Not to mention that going from Portuguese to Spanish is much easier than the other way around, and that the number of Portuguese speakers is growing much faster than the number of Spanish speakers.
9 countries in the world speaks Portuguese and other fact its that you can communicate with little added learning easely with Spanish speaking and Italian Speaking people. The other way around is not that easy.
The biggest difficulty is portiguese is a way less commun language .spanish has a unlimited amount of material to practice with in online and in person courses podcasts and other materals from beginner to advanced .thst is not the case with portuguese
Portuguese has actually also a lot of resources due to the fact that Brazil has a pretty big media and especially social media presence it is very easy to find Brazilian Portuguese resources. Even here on RUclips. There are just as many resources to learn Portuguese. In fact more and more people are learning it. If you need resources, I can provide you with you plenty.
Macau 🇲🇴 was a Portuguese colony but practically everybody there speak Cantonese Chinese. I have visited Macau 🇲🇴 twice. I'm a native Spanish speaker (from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷) and speak some Portuguese. I saw some signs in both Chinese and Portuguese, but I didn't find any Portuguese speakers.
Thank you very much for this! I really like your videos but I feel that you're a bit oversimpflying learning Portuguese after already knowing Spanish. I learned Portuguese after Spanish and I still think that one has to study Portuguese for some time before being able to speak it fluently. You can't always rely on your knowledge of Spanish because many times the words sound the same but mean a different thing in both languages. It's true that grammair is similar but one still has to go through it because there are more irregular verbs in Portuguese and some verb tenses are formed differently and not used in the same way as in Spanish. If you don't study grammar and check up vocabulary you end up with some kind of Portuñol which is actually the case for many people who claim to be able speak Portuguese.
Thank you! Yes, they are two separate languages so you obviously still have to study Portuguese if you want to become fluent. I didn’t say otherwise. I just said that it helps a lot speaking Spanish. I teach both languages, and I always teach those students who learn both languages about methods on how not to end up speaking Portuñol. I‘ve been there myself, so I know it can be an obstacle when you are learning both languages. As for the grammar, actually all the most important and used verb tenses are used the exact same way in both languages. I never really studied Portuguese grammar because I thoroughly studied Spanish grammar, yet I became perfectly fluent in Portuguese and I‘ve seen many people like that. Spanish vs. Portuguese native speakers who have learned the other language just by practicing their speaking. The same goes with a lot of Italian-speakers who can perfectly learn Spanish in a couple of months and vice versa. Grammar is important but definitely not everything about a language if you focus too much on it. Many people study grammar in and out and still can’t speak. I see it with the vast majority of language students and learners.
You were able to understand _spoken_ Portuguese after having only learned Spanish? Damn!... Most native Spanish speakers I've ever known cannot understand spoken Portuguese, and still some have some difficulty reading it.
Yes, I could read it and understand most of the spoken Portuguese. Of course not all of it. I used to speak with Brazilian friends in Portuñol. They'd speak Portuguese and I would reply in Spanish. That was before I started studying Portuguese.
@@danieljunio8463 Yes! Plus Spanish is ubiquitous. It’s easier to pick up words and hear them spoken by even Americans joking around who do not even speak Spanish. And in Brazil, there are more Spanish language stations you can probably pick up on cable than Portuguese language in Spanish-speaking Latin America, I imagine - though I’ve not been in Brazil in many yearsz
@@itsimplyeve that makes no sense. First, there isn’t a Brazilian accent, there are dozens. Second, the video is about the language. Up to now, there is only Portuguese and Spanish. If you want to attach a flag to both languages, then it should be the flag of each country of origin of the language. Notice the Spanish flag is correct; she didn’t attach the Mexican flag, even though Mexico is the country with more native Spanish speakers. No one would attach the Canadian flag when talking about French, or the American flag when talking about English. To have the Brazilian flag representing a language way older than the country is ridiculous, and shouldn’t be used. And it makes me think of all those red necks that say they speak American. You can learn Portuguese and chose the Brazilian way, but the flag should always be of Portugal. Please concede the same respect to the Portuguese language that you are giving to the Spanish one.
@@moonhqz it doesn't matter if there is less speakers off Portuguese from Portugal something and it properly the language is called Portuguese Brazilian Portuguese is infinix way too much by Spanish if you really want to know in Portuguese in its purest form and make a real connection with it I believe you have to learn Portuguese from Portugal addenda is the fact that Brazil was massive that's why there's more Brazilian Portuguese speakers but actually if you go to most of the African places that speak Portuguese in general it is more closer to the Portuguese from Portugal that is spoken Brazilian Portuguese only really reuseful if you're going to go to Brazil which it wouldn't really matter because if you speak Portuguese from Portugal people still want to understand you 9 out of 10 times and you'll still be able to get around so this whole idea that more people speak Brazilian Portuguese debt for it's better is it factual and is only contextual
@@moonhqz Portuguese is a language with a real flavour to it Anna real flow and a real elegance and preciseness and it's all identity but Brazilian Portuguese is too much distorted by the Spanish in that is spoken from other countries in and around Brazil to be a true representation of what the language really is not saying I hate Brazilian Portuguese it's definitely fun but Portuguese from Portugal is the undisputed king my friend 👑🐐🇵🇹🇵🇹
She just needs to say Brazilian Portuguese, otherwise she must use the Mexico flag for Spanish as there are more mexican people speaking Spanish than Spanish people.
@@bilie9117 but it derived from Spain no? you don’t use the American flag for english as the first people who forced the natives out of America were British
@bilie9117 I agree. It doesn't make much sense for her to use Spain's flag to represent the Spanish language, yet not use Portugal's flag to represent the Portuguese language. I'd be curious to know her reasoning for that.
Brazilians represent 80% of Portuguese speakers and are currently the most influential in the world and on the internet. And they tend to be much kinder and friendlier than the Portuguese ones...
You must be kidding, right?! This is Brazilian Portuguese hence why it is absolutely right to use the Brazilian flag. This version is the most spoken Portuguese around the world so accept it. Any official language schools, dictionaries etc. use the Brazilian flag to teach BRAZILIAN Portuguese.
@itsimplyeve Wow your attitude is horrible. Point is, why not use the Mexican flag for Spanish if you are going by the biggest number of speakers? In RUclips vids French, Spanish, etc. all use the original flags and then they always use Brazil to represent Portuguese. Brazil is a third world country by the way (I know it's not relevant but I thought you should know)
@ MY attitude is horrible?! The audacity some people have … then to say Brazil is a third world country, are you serious? It’s still beautiful and way more popular than Portugal. That’s why most Portuguese learners love Brazil and their version of the language. You might need to check YOUR condescending attitude. To say using the Brazilian flag is rude when it’s rightfully used is ridiculous. Tell that the UN who also use Brazilian flag for Portuguese and so many other institutions. Where do you live? Under a rock?!
@@itsimplyeve you didn't answer my question - why didn't you use the Mexican flag for Spanish if what you say is true? It's disrespectful. Also If Brazil is so good like you say then why are so many Brazilians coming to Portugal (my beautiful country) to work as taxi drivers and live in poverty accommodation and consider themselves lucky?
You lost me with the Brazilian flag. It’s OK to use a Brazilian flag to indicate Portuguese-But not if you’re gonna use Spain’s flag to represent Spanish.
Oh wow, you’re gonna lecture me on that?! Tell that all language apps and schools. Everyone wants to chime in without having knowledge of linguistics and languages.
@@itsimplyeve -My comment has nothing to do with your knowledge of languages or linguistics. It’s about showing even respect to the countries from which the respective languages were born.
@@itsimplyeveshe/he has a point there! But I don't blame you, since you speak Brazilian PT. That happens all over RUclips with a few exceptions. Brazilian PT has a stronger audience and it is easier to learn as you well know. Portuguese people feel that if you just mention Portuguese then show the Portuguese flag, and Brazilian Portuguese, then the Brazilian flag. Just saying! No blame.
Did you watch the video and listen to what I said?! Do ao and come back. I always specify that it’s obviously Brazilian Portuguese I’m talking about. I know what I’m doing. Thanks!

@@danieljunio8463 Yes! Plus Spanish is ubiquitous. It’s easier to pick up words and hear them spoken by even Americans joking around who do not even speak Spanish. And in Brazil, there are more Spanish language stations you can probably pick up on cable than Portuguese language in Spanish-speaking Latin America, I imagine - though I’ve not been in Brazil in many yearsz
Que rico mirarte ❤️
So Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese? I saw the Brazilian flag, not the Portuguese one.
Did you watch the video?
Note that you are being rude and further discouraging people from having a positive view of Portugal.
@@vastoaspecto What? For questioning? :D
Brazilian accent and the widely most spoken version of Portuguese hence why obviously the Brazilian flag. I
@@itsimplyeve that makes no sense.
First, there isn’t a Brazilian accent, there are dozens. Second, the video is about the language. Up to now, there is only Portuguese and Spanish. If you want to attach a flag to both languages, then it should be the flag of each country of origin of the language. Notice the Spanish flag is correct; she didn’t attach the Mexican flag, even though Mexico is the country with more native Spanish speakers. No one would attach the Canadian flag when talking about French, or the American flag when talking about English.
To have the Brazilian flag representing a language way older than the country is ridiculous, and shouldn’t be used. And it makes me think of all those red necks that say they speak American.
You can learn Portuguese and chose the Brazilian way, but the flag should always be of Portugal. Please concede the same respect to the Portuguese language that you are giving to the Spanish one.
@@xz3024??? She attached the brazilian flag because that was the first country that came to mind.
Any class on WhatsApp? For those who want to learn Spanish or English! I’m planning to learn both😊
But you don't talk Portuguese🇵🇹🇵🇹 you talk Brazilian
Brazilian is better 😂
@@randompost4180 you don't know what you're talking about Portugal for life 🇵🇹🇵🇹
@@bangbang100francis6 Theres 220 million brazilian Portuguese speaker and only 10m Portugal portuguese speaker
@@moonhqz it doesn't matter if there is less speakers off Portuguese from Portugal something and it properly the language is called Portuguese Brazilian Portuguese is infinix way too much by Spanish if you really want to know in Portuguese in its purest form and make a real connection with it I believe you have to learn Portuguese from Portugal addenda is the fact that Brazil was massive that's why there's more Brazilian Portuguese speakers but actually if you go to most of the African places that speak Portuguese in general it is more closer to the Portuguese from Portugal that is spoken Brazilian Portuguese only really reuseful if you're going to go to Brazil which it wouldn't really matter because if you speak Portuguese from Portugal people still want to understand you 9 out of 10 times and you'll still be able to get around so this whole idea that more people speak Brazilian Portuguese debt for it's better is it factual and is only contextual
@@moonhqz Portuguese is a language with a real flavour to it Anna real flow and a real elegance and preciseness and it's all identity but Brazilian Portuguese is too much distorted by the Spanish in that is spoken from other countries in and around Brazil to be a true representation of what the language really is not saying I hate Brazilian Portuguese it's definitely fun but Portuguese from Portugal is the undisputed king my friend 👑🐐🇵🇹🇵🇹
Well done. Wish you all the best, but I watched your other video and your Twi needs improvement.
Honestly, I will never tolerate the Brazilian flag representing the language of Portuguese...
She just needs to say Brazilian Portuguese, otherwise she must use the Mexico flag for Spanish as there are more mexican people speaking Spanish than Spanish people.
@@bilie9117 but it derived from Spain no? you don’t use the American flag for english as the first people who forced the natives out of America were British
@bilie9117 I agree. It doesn't make much sense for her to use Spain's flag to represent the Spanish language, yet not use Portugal's flag to represent the Portuguese language. I'd be curious to know her reasoning for that.
@@Forbestravels that’s what I’m saying… She used the Brazilian flag 🇧🇷 for Portuguese (Portugal 🇵🇹)
@@bilie9117Tem que usar a nossa bandeira brasileira pra representar a língua portuguesa , porque Portugal desaparece perante o Brasil .😅
Spanish is way harder
Coming from a linguistic background, not at all. It’s actually Portuguese that is more difficult.
Why you use the brazilian flag? Portuguese is from Portugal not Brazil!
Brazilians represent 80% of Portuguese speakers and are currently the most influential in the world and on the internet.
And they tend to be much kinder and friendlier than the Portuguese ones...
@@vastoaspecto said who
@@vastoaspecto I agree. Also, she should have mentioned "Brazilian Portuguese"
@@jb894Chora tugolino 😂😂😂
So disrespectful to use the Brazilian flag, but everyone does that I don't know why.
You must be kidding, right?! This is Brazilian Portuguese hence why it is absolutely right to use the Brazilian flag. This version is the most spoken Portuguese around the world so accept it. Any official language schools, dictionaries etc. use the Brazilian flag to teach BRAZILIAN Portuguese.
@itsimplyeve Wow your attitude is horrible.
Point is, why not use the Mexican flag for Spanish if you are going by the biggest number of speakers? In RUclips vids French, Spanish, etc. all use the original flags and then they always use Brazil to represent Portuguese. Brazil is a third world country by the way (I know it's not relevant but I thought you should know)
@ MY attitude is horrible?! The audacity some people have … then to say Brazil is a third world country, are you serious? It’s still beautiful and way more popular than Portugal. That’s why most Portuguese learners love Brazil and their version of the language. You might need to check YOUR condescending attitude. To say using the Brazilian flag is rude when it’s rightfully used is ridiculous. Tell that the UN who also use Brazilian flag for Portuguese and so many other institutions. Where do you live? Under a rock?!
@@itsimplyeve you didn't answer my question - why didn't you use the Mexican flag for Spanish if what you say is true? It's disrespectful. Also If Brazil is so good like you say then why are so many Brazilians coming to Portugal (my beautiful country) to work as taxi drivers and live in poverty accommodation and consider themselves lucky?
@@megadethlyPortugal não é um país de primeiro e sim terceiro mundo com um dos piores salários da união europeia, então pare de chorar tugolino!😂
Portuguese and Spanish is one thing.
It really cant be said that someone speaks two languages in reference to Spanish and portuguese
Portuguese is the superior language 🇧🇷.
Not even in your dreams is it going to be superior and for many reasons.
Lol
Sim , você está certo

You lost me with the Brazilian flag. It’s OK to use a Brazilian flag to indicate Portuguese-But not if you’re gonna use Spain’s flag to represent Spanish.
Oh wow, you’re gonna lecture me on that?! Tell that all language apps and schools. Everyone wants to chime in without having knowledge of linguistics and languages.
@@itsimplyeve -My comment has nothing to do with your knowledge of languages or linguistics. It’s about showing even respect to the countries from which the respective languages were born.
@@itsimplyeveshe/he has a point there! But I don't blame you, since you speak Brazilian PT. That happens all over RUclips with a few exceptions. Brazilian PT has a stronger audience and it is easier to learn as you well know. Portuguese people feel that if you just mention Portuguese then show the Portuguese flag, and Brazilian Portuguese, then the Brazilian flag. Just saying! No blame.
There is only about about 10 million in Portugual, Brazil has at least 10 x as more.
Chora tugolino 😂😂😂
If you’re going to use that flag, then say it’s Brazilian Portuguese… Otherwise Portuguese-Portugal… Thanks
Did you watch the video and listen to what I said?! Do ao and come back. I always specify that it’s obviously Brazilian Portuguese I’m talking about. I know what I’m doing. Thanks!
