This is a forum where some time ago a poster said he understood why a Brazilian had opted to play for Real Madrid rather than one of the English clubs chasing him as he would find it easier to settle in Spain as they spoke the same language.

They don’t.

They don’t.

Blimey, I agree with you!
Also, there's not a lot of Spanish spoken in Portugal in my experience.

Nothing pedantic about it. You said most Brazilians speaks Spanish they don’t. My first boss was Spanish and fluent in English, Italian and German. I didn’t assume most Spaniards spoke those languages.

BTW, a pendant.

They also speak/understand Portuguese in Uruguay in the border regions with Brasil. Brazilians find it easier to understand Galician than European Portuguese (linguistically, Galician is extremely similar to Portuguese but today is spoken with a Castillian-influenced pronunciation). Also, Brazilian Portuguese is somewhat influenced by Spanish which is a syllable-timed language whereas European Portuguese is a stressed-timed language (just like English). So all this means that Spaniards consider Portuguese to be Spanish spoken by a drunk Russian.
