    Can a Spanish speaker understand Portuguese? Most often, Spanish and Portuguese speakers can understand each other more or less. I've heard that it's typically easier for Portuguese speakers to understand Spanish speakers. Why? I'm not sure! If you know, feel free to leave me a comment letting me know why that is. As you see in the video, I can understand Bianca on a very basic and slow level. I'm sure fluent Brazilian Portuguese would be tough to understand.
    I'd say I did pretty well in this challenge, and it was a lot of fun speaking Spanish and Portuguese with Bianca. Maybe in the next video I could try to understand the Portuguese from Portugal instead of Brazil. Thank you for watching, you're awesome :) New videos every Saturday.

    Hola, I'm Nate. I used to not know any Spanish at all, and I had no interest in learning the language. I thought learning Spanish would be boring, a waste of time, and would provide no value to my life. Then I started taking Spanish classes in high school and everything changed for me. I struggled with learning the language a lot at first, but thanks to my teachers and my Spanish speaking friends, they helped make the learning process fun. Within a few months, I had gotten to a conversational level, but more important, I had become a more confident person. The real win for me, though, was the friendships I made and strengthened. I discovered that not only did I have higher self esteem, but being out in the real world with people, whether old friends or new ones I met, made me feel more alive and connected with the world around me. Now it's my goal to create videos that make you smile and inspire you to learn Spanish or another language!

    I went to my girlfriends home country of Paraguay last year and we traveled into brasil. I was so fascinated that she would talk in Spanish to Brazilians , and they would speak to her in Portuguese with seemingly zero language barrier

    What I do know is that mutual intelligibility between Portuguese and Spanish is asymmetrical, meaning that a Portuguese speaker can understand a Spanish speaker. However it isn't the case when it's the other way around

    Portuguese and Spanish speakers can understand each other, but it takes a lot of effort

    My sister's husband is from brazil so I had been learning Portuguese for a while to talk with him. Things between them aren't so great at the moment so I haven't been learning, but this gave me some motivation to practice anyway! P.S. Bianca é muito inteligente e bonita!

    There are not more Portuguese speakers in South America than there are Spanish speakers that’s ridiculous

  • @nosferatu7585

    My family spoke Portuguese with me growing up. I am a huge fan of Brazilian culture and watch their telenovelas all the time trying to increase my vocabulary in Portuguese. I remember all the mistakes I made learning Spanish. It is fun the relation between Spanish and Portuguese. You can never assume you know another language from the same root family without effort it's not an overnight process.

    Apart from the difficulties of the spoken language, Spanish and Portuguese also have distinct grammars. ... A Spanish speaker and a Portuguese speaker that have never been exposed to each other's languages will understand around 45% of what the other says. In real life, of course, this is not that common.🥰🥰🥰

    En Brasil hay mucha gente que piensa que aprender el español es fácil pero no es verdad. Creo que puedo hablar y escrbir en español con fluidez pero hay muchas diferencias entre los dos idiomas. Nunca hablaré español como un nativo pero es un gusto y un privilegio comunicarme en este idioma tan lindo. Saludos desde São Paulo, Brasil.

    Thanks for this video! I haven't practiced Portuguese in a solid couple of years and this was fun to try and remember. Bianca has a really nice accent that I've never heard before :)

    You did pretty well for not having much exposure to Portuguese. Like you, I was born and raised in the US and learned Spanish fluently in school (I am also a teacher (and an interpreter)). Then I also studied Portuguese afterward. The main thing that's hard for Spanish-speakers learning Portuguese is the pronunciation (the grammar and vocabulary are very similar to Spanish, so those are generally so much easier). If you were to spend just a little time getting used to Portuguese pronunciation, you would be able to understand a lot right from the beginning- after that, it is basically just a matter of learning the words that differ and the "false friends" (like "escritório¨ which was mentioned).

    Em Portugal "zoeira" não é usada numa conversa normal. Temos outra palavra que no Brasil tem conotação sexual.
