Cara Sarah,
a confusão entre essas 2 linguas é compreensivel, pois são linguas muito semelhantes.
No Brasil, você não terá muito problema com isso, porque entendemos bem o Espanhol, mas não sabemos o porquê, o contrário não é verdadeiro: se você misturar o espanhol com o português, nos paises de lingua espanhola, terá maior dificuldade de ser compreendida.
Dont worry, you are in the good way.
