@ante: my house turns into a soap opera set, with my mom suddenly being a huge football nerd
and i turn into the antagonist obviously
@ratatosk: i can't speak portuguese for shit... my native language is spanish, and both languages are very similar, so i can understand everything but when i have to separate them and speak portuguese, i suck :-/ i even mix some english in there too... you don't wanna know more
They do have a lot of the same words, but they don't sound alike. When I first started learning Italian I always had trouble figuring out which was Italian and which was Spanish, when listening to people talk. It's true, if you know one of those languages you can understand (Spanish and Italian), but Portuguese has such a different pronunciation that it's really hard. At least for me. But yeah the reading is easy to understand.
