@Abina Àine Well, I don't know if it will work for you, because I'm a native speaker so I can't really measure how much Portuguese you need to know to understand Spanish. What I do know is that people who are more educated on Portuguese (people with good grammar etc) tend to understand Spanish a lot better that common elderly people with lower levels os education. Both languages are super similar tho. I believe Spanish and Portuguese are closer to each other than Standard German and most dialects of Swiss German for example. My advice is: learn whatever you really want to. If you're not interested in the language itself, the whole process will become unfeasible. But if you just want to raise your language count, or if you are interested in both of them, than Portuguese first

[@oakstrong1]

"They were shocked that I spoke X language" (X = whatever the native language is) is a theme of some KZbin polygots that just make me despise them, and quite frankly, not believe they can even speak the language beyond Duolingo level. In fact, I watched one such person do the placement test, and while passed, he was struggling and made a couple of mistakes. When you consider that Duolingo goes barely above CERF A2 level (maybe up to C1 in more popular languages like Spanish) and the test does only not cover the whole of the language course, it is clear to me that their language ability is less than "fluent", another word they often use. One such guy took a test in Spanish, which happens is a language I'm learning right now: I could understand most of the test and could guess 65% - 70% of the answers despite only having passsed the first checkpoint and having no prior knowledge of Spanish or any closely related language, shows how relatively easy the test was! (I've also watched native speakers of taking the test and still be recommended to study with Duo, only skipping the first checkpoints). I'm think it's great to be able to speak a foreign language even a beginner level - and much maligned Duolingo can get you there if you use it correctly - my friend is a proof of that and I would be very happy if I could understand Duo's podcasts. What annoys me are naysayers who pretend otherwise: bashing any X app (they all livr to hate Duolingo because it's actually a pretty good compared to many) and then go on promoting equally useless app they happen to like and often get revenue from as an influencer. THERE IS NO ONE APP that can teach you a language to a fluent level! Each has their strengths and shortcomings, including classroom learning, but you still have to work a lot outside the app/ class if you want to become fluent and even then, it takes a long time to achieve true fluency. (As you can see, I'm not there with my English despite using it every day at work and in private life.)

[@marker52]

@@oakstrong1 Definitely. If you're aiming for any sort of high level in any language, you should never rely on one source. 'Fluency' requires thousands of hours of being immersed in the language, whether it be watching native content, reading books, or interacting with natives. Apps such as duolingo or textbooks serve to bring you to a very basic level where it won't be as painful to start immersing in the language, and whether you continue or not after that is on you. At the end of the day, there is no one "method" that can get you to fluency. Anyone that sells people on the idea that you will be fluent you take [certain course] is being disingenuous. (By the way, your English is amazing for a non-native) :)

As someone fluent in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German, the key for me in all these choices (aside from English, which is my mother-tongue) is attraction to the culture/country. I’d find it _extremely_ difficult to find the motivation to randomly learn a language if: 1. I wasn’t particularly attracted to the culture/country. 2. I wasn’t going to have any real chance to use the language. If you’re being a polyglot for being a polyglot’s sake then, IME, unless you are supremely self-motivated and/or financially rewarded for this, this is extremely difficult to do. My key advice to _anyone_ thinking of being multilingual from scratch: 1. Be attracted to the places/cultures that use the given language, otherwise the motivation to continue will drop off very quickly. 2. Try to ensure you pick languages that you will have the chance to use on a regular basis. In my case, I visit France, Spain (South America), Italy and Germany regularly so am constantly getting the opportunity to actually _use_ the languages and keep them ‘topped up’ in the real world. 3. Enjoy it! If it’s a chore, stop. It isn’t worth it. Shakespeare said: _No profit grows where no pleasure ta'en: in brief, sir, study what you most affect._ He is saying saying that nothing useful comes from work without _enjoyment!_
