Ok. So I have a question and hopefully someone here can shed some light on it and point me in the right direction here. My only language that I speak fluently (my mother tongue) is English. I am born in the US to English-only speaking parents and family. I have now studied some Spanish a bit but more recently I have gotten wrapped up in Brazil and it's culture, women and language. So I "jumped ship" for now in studying Brazilian Portuguese. However, I have seen a lot of personal testimonies of people who first tackled Spanish and who claimed this helped them in acquiring BR Portuguese more easily. That makes sense as I have heard that once one learns one Latin-based language it is easier to learn others. However, I only see testimonies and even courses for Spanish speakers learning Portuguese. My question is, do you think it would be more advantageous for me to go back to Spanish and get it first then tackle BR Portuguese? Or is it actually easier to learn BR Portuguese first then go and tackle Spanish? Is one approach superior to the other? I have heard that BR Portuguese is more complex than Spanish so it would seem to me that learning it first would make Spanish easier but I'm not sure about that as I'm a novice. Just my thoughts and my questions here if anyone can help me and give me some advice here it will be much appreciated. Gracias e muito obrigado!!!
