    It’s strange that as a native portuguese speaker, I can understand spanish (at least the mexican one from chavo) fine, but my spanish friends can’t understand me at all.

      That’s pretty normal, a few years ago I ran into these Brazilian bikers in Argentina and they didn’t speak Spanish or English, so it was really hard to communicate. We (Spanish speakers) really rely on you guys understanding us. I can read Portuguese without much trouble, though, it’s the pronunciation that gets me.
