I'm at like b2 or c1 in spanish and I can almost never understand spoken portuguese. Written portuguese (or french or italian) I can read mostly ok but spoken portuguese sounds like someone speaking spanish with mashed potatoes in their mouth.
So Portuguese is to Spanish what Dutch is to German, I see
Those potatoes have a lot to answer for! 🥔
I tried learning Portuguese and the pronunciations just kill me. I took a few years of Latin in school (so I can read but can't speak at all) and one of those years was as an "independent study" while sitting in the back of a first year Spanish class (my teacher taught Latin, Spanish, and Portuguese). I've heard that native Spanish speakers can get along as Portuguese can resemble a really drunk Spaniard. I can't confirm that, but I would not too surprised there's truth in it.
I guess I had an easier time with Brazilian Portuguese because I spent a decade in coastal Puerto Rico and they high speed mumble with tons of slang and a serious dislike of consonants (See Tego Calderón).
