Spanish- Primary language

English- Also Primary and taught it from a young age

Portuguese- 8 years. I speak it somewhat fluently. It was a little easier to pick up with it being a Latin language. Occasionally I'll find myself slipping into Spanish in order to fill the holes.

Mandarin- 10 years of learning and speak it fluently with very good pronunciation. My writing is the complete opposite and is pretty pitiful to look at.

How is Portugues, from a phonology standpoint, hard to pronounce or just a bit challenging...?

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

Not too bad coming off of Spanish. It might be harder for someone who doesn't have their native languages being of Latin origin. I hear Anglos struggle with European Portuguese more.

Does your dialect come from Peninsular Spain or from Latin America and so forth?

The reason why I say this, is because Euro-Portuges apparently sounds slavic... perhaps like Polska

Latin America, Guatemala in particular. I'm from a part of the country that's more "rednecky" so we sometimes shorten things like saying "si seño"
