A weird fact: the Portuguese understand Spanish perfectly where the Spanish can't understand Portuguese very well at all, kind of like a one-way mirror. Very true but I wonder why. I've taken 3 semesters of Spanish and if I go to Brazil or Portugal, they can understand me alright and I probably have a hard time decoding what they say. Sure they are spelled differently, but sometimes pronounced the same? Having a Portuguese housemate would help solve my woes. Learn portuguese and keep my Spanish.
