You are the one over exaggerating. I lived in Uruguay for 6 years and I'm fluent in Spanish. I moved there when I was 18 years old. I too had to study Portuguese to understand it. And all my Uruguayan friends that never studied Portuguese don't understand jack. And these are people that have even been to Brazil on vacation. And same with my Brazilian friends and people I came across while there. When it's written, it's easier to try to make out what it means, but when spoken, even slowly, it's hard. I communicate in Spanish and Portuguese almost everyday, and when I mistakenly switch language with the wrong person, they get lost and I'd have to repeat in the correct language. Portuguese speakers do not necessarily speak Spanish (it is not the same language!). In fact, 4% of Brazil’s population is estimated to speak Spanish.https://blog.lingoda.com/en/what-languages-are-spoken-in-brazil/#:~:text=Spanish%20speakers%20in%20Brazil,is%20estimated%20to%20speak%20Spanish. 4% is not much. omohayek: |

As a linguist and a language expert.. if you are intending to stay in Nigeria, I'll advice you learn French because it's easier to learn and we are surrounded by Francophone( french speaking countries) in Nigeria. 70% of the words you see in English lexicons are borrowed French. And french is so interesting that it broaden your horizon and cultural integration is sealed in the course of you learning it. But outside the scope of Nigeria, I'll advise you learn Spanish because it has the highest numbers of countries that speaks it. Spanish will give you opportunities to make friends and as well job opportunities especially in the US. I'm talking from experience because I've seen the practical use of the both languages. I speak French and Spanish. |

naijamanyoutube:You're just stating your own personal anecdotes here, when I've already pointed out that I could do the same. Your personal experience proves nothing about the general case. Personal anecdotes are not the basis for making such sweeping judgments, only objective, peer-reviewed research can. A blog post by a random company is hardly comparable in credibility to the peer-reviewed article I gave you a link to, an article which has actually received 127 citations. Here are more peer-reviewed articles on the subject. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14790718.2017.1350185 http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2014/pdf/1183_Paper.pdf https://ejournal.ummuba.ac.id/index.php/pbi/article/view/203 1 Like |

You are quoting articles with no experience whatsoever, meanwhile I live it on a daily basis. Anyone who believes you will find out the hard way when they get there. Do you speak Spanish or Portuguese? If not then it's useless arguing with you. But if you do, then let's speak and the phone and put it to test and see how much an educated man like you understand. omohayek: |
