Yes, they are. All Romance languages have some overlap. However, stupid fuck Aryan from my comment about Portuguese thought

Portuguese doesn’t seem to be that romantic though. It comes off a bit guttural. A bastardisation of Spanish if you will…

Don’t talk about that queer_cunt Joe!
European Portuguese sounds very different from Brazilian Portuguese. Portuguese people swallow all of their vowels. Estados Unidos does not sound anything like it sounds in Spanish, for instance. It sounds like this: "Statch Ooneetch." Podes is "potch." Porque is "pork." De nada is "na." Estou is "toe." It's very difficult to listen and to speak because of this. I speak enough Spanish to have thought I could get by in Portuguese, but it's crazy talk, I'm telling you.

Now that’s romantic.
Tell me that after you've spent some time in Portugal.

I began learning Portuguese, then quit for Spanish because it sounded smoother. Not much Spanish is spoken in Australia and I eventually tired of both altogether. We’re inundated with Brazilians, so it would make sense to pick up on Portuguese again. Oh well…
@rancidmilko do you understand Portuguese people easily when they talk? I am always relieved when I hear a Brazilian person talking here. I can understand them! Hahaha.

I just got a sweet email from a student who has been trying to find my email for three years and finally got it from another student who was in my class. She said she's never forgotten me. It was really touching to read it.

I wish I could find my 6th grade teacher. She was the best
"Sue ung woahmaing" is kinda how you say that. Some of those sounds just can't be spelled out.

Totally…I switched over to Portuguese just now. A course with Duolingo. It’s a great learning tool, both visual and audio. You can try a free 2 week trial if it interests you.

Out of 10 teachers, you might like two or three. In my experience, and I have a few friends in the profession, teaching requires the utmost tolerance and patience. Many teachers lacking these two attributes shouldn’t be in this line of work.

I can communicate with Portuguese speakers, they speak Portuguese and I reply in Spanish and we are able to understand one another

I was asked by English speakers to help translate for a "Spanish" speaker more than once.
