Portuguese and Spanish I was thinking about Spanish and Portuguese and how similar and different are these languages from each other. The most of people think: it's better learning Spanish if you're a speaker of Portuguese and vice versa. However, for me it's kind of tricky because sometimes I just get confused about the vocabulary and thinking: "okay, this is Portuguese but is it Spanish too?". There are a lot of words similar and both languages share a great spectrum of vocabulary. In that point I get confused. I think the similarity is good for almost everyone less for me. Of course, the shared vocabulary makes things easier but I mix the vocabulary on my mind. Sometimes I use Portuguese words instead of Spanish and this makes learning harder in a certain way. So, I'm afraid of learning "Portuñol", a mix of both languages, instead of Spanish. Well, we will see soon how it will end, lol
