I can understand a lot of Portuguese & Italian because it’s similar to Spanish, especially if it’s written, because I’m fluent in Spanish. As humans, we live looking for patterns in life, and languages that are based in Latin have tons of similar patterns. For some people that can get confusing, and make trying to actually grasp the new language nearly impossible.
