Alright Spanish and Portuguese speakers, I've got a question for you.
I'm quite fluent in Latin, so I can understand a good deal of both languages, and I find them to be quite easy for me to pick up. I do eventually want to learn both, but I'm wondering how much of a task it'll be. Let's say I learn Spanish first, will I be able to very quickly learn Portuguese? Or will learning Portuguese still take about the same time as it took me to learn Spanish?
I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I'd want to learn European Portuguese. I'm not sure which Spanish dialect I'd want to learn. Probably American Spanish. As far as I can tell, the differences between the European and American Spanish are much smaller than the differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese.
Let me know what you think!
