    I would say Spanish is more beneficial. More speakers in the USA and more Spanish speaking countries around the world. For the most part, Brazilian Portuguese is only helpful in Brazil.

    Coming from someone who's native English & was self taught Spanish... I would say to learn PORTUGUESE first. They're both good languages to learn but I'd recommend Port before Spanish. It'll make it easier in the long run for learning Spanish and when you begin learning Spanish your foundation will be so much more boulder than learning Spanish into Portuguese. I speak to my Brazil friends in Spanish and they speak to me in Port. They understand a grand majority of what I say but I only understand about 50-60% of what they say with a generalized idea. None the less, most of us also speak English as a first or second language so we switch to that too when needed. Either way, learning Spanish or Portuguese will open big opportunities and you will always find someone who speaks either of the two, French, German or Mandarin Chinese if you live in the US. :-)

    I had to make a choice, because I'm retired, and I don't have time to learn both. I hesitated a little, but two things made me choose Spanish. I'm better at playing Cuban music than Brazilian music. I feel at home in afro-cuban music while I always feel I'm trying to play samba. I rarely heard a European or estadounidense drummer playing correctly Brazilian music. The second reason is : Spanish is spoken in 30 countries. That also means more books, more movies, more styles of music.

    Peace. I speak Brazilian Portuguese fluently and have been wanting to learn Spanish. It's been so difficult to find any resources that go from PT to ES, as you said, and it gets boring going through the introductory material for Spanish, which feels like so much time wasted on overlap, as it's basically patronizingly obvious to people fluent in PT. I'm interested now to hear about the bootcamp that you provide and will look into the service. Are these just bootcamps to learn ES or PT from scratch? Or, do you have PT -> ES bootcamps?

      Portuguese has actually also a lot of resources due to the fact that Brazil has a pretty big media and especially social media presence it is very easy to find Brazilian Portuguese resources. Even here on CZcams. There are just as many resources to learn Portuguese. In fact more and more people are learning it. If you need resources, I can provide you with you plenty.

    @goranknezovic3587 Před 6 měsíci +4

    Thank you very much for this! I really like your videos but I feel that you're a bit oversimpflying learning Portuguese after already knowing Spanish. I learned Portuguese after Spanish and I still think that one has to study Portuguese for some time before being able to speak it fluently. You can't always rely on your knowledge of Spanish because many times the words sound the same but mean a different thing in both languages. It's true that grammair is similar but one still has to go through it because there are more irregular verbs in Portuguese and some verb tenses are formed differently and not used in the same way as in Spanish. If you don't study grammar and check up vocabulary you end up with some kind of Portuñol which is actually the case for many people who claim to be able speak Portuguese.

    • @TheUrbanEve
      @TheUrbanEve  Před 6 měsíci +4

      Thank you! Yes, they are two separate languages so you obviously still have to study Portuguese if you want to become fluent. I didn’t say otherwise. I just said that it helps a lot speaking Spanish. I teach both languages, and I always teach those students who learn both languages about methods on how not to end up speaking Portuñol. I‘ve been there myself, so I know it can be an obstacle when you are learning both languages. As for the grammar, actually all the most important and used verb tenses are used the exact same way in both languages. I never really studied Portuguese grammar because I thoroughly studied Spanish grammar, yet I became perfectly fluent in Portuguese and I‘ve seen many people like that. Spanish vs. Portuguese native speakers who have learned the other language just by practicing their speaking. The same goes with a lot of Italian-speakers who can perfectly learn Spanish in a couple of months and vice versa. Grammar is important but definitely not everything about a language if you focus too much on it. Many people study grammar in and out and still can’t speak. I see it with the vast majority of language students and learners.
