    I tried learning Portuguese and the pronunciations just kill me. I took a few years of Latin in school (so I can read but can’t speak at all) and one of those years was as an “independent study” while sitting in the back of a first year Spanish class (my teacher taught Latin, Spanish, and Portuguese). I’ve heard that native Spanish speakers can get along as Portuguese can resemble a really drunk Spaniard. I can’t confirm that, but I would not too surprised there’s truth in it.
