thanks
I had planned to learn some very basic Portuguese before we go to Rio. I just wondered if Spanish would be any help at all! We did get by ok with only English last Easter in Rio.

When I first started to learn Portuguese I was surprised at how many words are the same in both English and Spanish. If you concentrate on these words first applying the proper accent then you already start off with a good vocabulary.

Spanish in Portuguese are both romance languages and grammar is almost identical, lots of words are the same, lots make no sense from one language to the other.
The problem is understanding the accents, my first language is Spanish and I would never said that I do understand Portuguese because of my Espanol. Never
