I studied Spanish for years in school and just couldn’t get past intermediate level. I just started taking Italian this year and I feel like I’m learning and understanding so much better; part of that could be because of the similarity to Spanish, and already knowing some Spanish words, but to me, Italian just seems to make more sense grammatically and somehow my Italian pronunciation is easier for computers to understand than my Spanish pronunciation is.

I have partial Spanish, Portuguese and Spanish ancestry. I learned Spanish in high school and university in my home city Toronto. I was nearly fluent and Latin Americans said I spoke it like a native. I haven’t spoken Spanish in years, but I can still read and understand some of it. I did a “crash course” in Italian for my first trip to Italy in 2018 and people complimented me on my Italian. I had to relearn it for my September 2023 trip to Italy and again, I was able to use the language. I am now learning Portuguese to prepare me for my trip to Portugal next year. In my opinion, if you know one romance language, learning another one will be relatively easy. I also know some French.

I'm a native Spanish speaker and I learned Portuguese a long time ago. I haven't practiced it much recently. I also learned the basics of Italian but I would really like to get fluent. As a Spanish speaker, the easiest part of both Italian and Portuguese is: Italian = Pronunciation Portuguese = Vocabulary and grammar Italian vocabulary and grammar are more similar to French. And Portuguese pronunciation is a little more similar to French, in my opinion. That's because Portuguese has nasal vowels but Spanish and Italian don't. Also the rr in Portuguese is like French r. Spanish and Italian have the same r sound.

I learned Spanish from high school until my first year of college. I understand Mexican Spanish quite well even native speakers talking to each other such as during a conference call. My speaking is sufficiently phrasebook level. Last year I started Italian on Duolingo and started watching older Italian movies in Italian when I could. I have recently finished the Duolingo course which is disappointingly short and repetitive and have increased my KZbin channel watching and just begun Italki tutoring in Italian. My speaking level is much lower than my comprehension which is already pretty good from the Spanish base. I am more enthusiastic about Italian even though it is at a much lower level than Spanish. I think that is the most important thing. Though sometimes you don’t have that choice. Example you are transferring to work in Mexico City then study Spanish. I will be visiting Mexico soon for work as well as welcoming a new team member who is Mexican to our work group. So definitely still will keep up with Spanish though not so actively. Incidentally I did try a few Duo lessons in Portuguese and found them really easy though the pronunciation is a bit harder and less obvious. Probably Italian’s modifiers and slightly different past tense is a little curve ball from Spanish. That and all the S+ consonant words sb, sv, and no change to the double LL. Portuguese seems fun too. Eventually once I reach a certain point of satisfaction I may consider going at it.

How to learn a language....you wanna know how?...get a lot of freaking input. Output is not important at the beginning and will never be in the forfront. You need to get input.....A TON. What can that entail?: - reading - listening (radio, podcasts, vids, listening to friends that know your target language or just people that know your target language in general) - watching stuff, like vids, movies, tv series etc. Put with a big discrepancy more time into reading. The reasons are as followed. - way more input in a short period of time while also learning how to read the language (knowing how to read stuff in your target language is always of advantage) - because there are no pictures (usually) and no video the author has to describe a lot of stuff which equals out in you getting input that you probably wouldn't meet in the other options or at least wouldn't meet as often in the other options. read stuff that interests you and if it is easy to understand than that is a bonus. As long as you read you learn even if you do not understand a whole lot. Generally speaking you will pick up a lot of things subconsiously..for instance certain letter combinations, you'll meet certain words with a high frequency and start to read these words way faster even if you might not understand this word/these words at the moment; you'll pick up on grammar (for instance endings, when natives use which ending in which scenario), you'll pick up on how natives use certain words and their meaning in different contexts and probably way more. If I convinced you and you are about to start more reading for your target language I'll highly advice you to not overthing stuff. Don't look up every word, don't even look up every second word. You might not know a lot of words and you might not understand certain phrases which is okay just continue reading. The reason for that advice is because once you start looking up every word or every second word you'll waste a lot of time, effort and probably get discouraged. You might think it doesn't take a whole lot of time checking out an unknown word, especially with the internet nowadays but you will be thinking incorrectly. Most words have a bunch of different meanings depending on the context which in turn means that you can't just take the first meaning that the web or online dictionary spits out. And what about in the same phrase there are two or more words that you don't know and you'll look up every one of them. You try to figure out which meaning fits, you think you got the meaning and after reading that phrase with these meaning in mind you end up finding out that it just doesn't fit....congratulations you just wasted several minutes and are now annoyed and frustrated. That time you could have just continued reading. Some words you'll understand later in your journey. Sometimes it takes time. Even when that doesn't happen but you have met that word already so many times. You have a reference point, then you might want to check out the meaning of that word in that context you last met the word and in that case there is a higher likelyhood of you finding the correct meaning and being confident about it as well. Now about me, who am I to tell all that stuff. Who am I to say how to effectively learn a language, weeeeell......I am just a rando in the internet at the end of the day. I don't really have credentials to show for and I can only tell you that I know three languages and especially the last language I have learned pretty effectivly by that method. Besides english I know german (which is my native tongue) and russian. Russian is the last language I learned. I would also like to add that if you will follow my advice you might and probably will doubt that advice several times throughout your journey. I "know" that for a fact because I have lived through it. What I have described is NOT how it is teached pretty much anywhere. Not in schools, not in language schools, not in these places where people do their exams for "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages" (aka A1, A2, B1 etc)..nowhere. Which is the reason why you'll question it many times. The first time I got introduced to it was when I actively wanted to learn more about that subject through the internet. In school barely anyone gets really efficent in languages. In english you might make a case for the opposite but for the next langauge that is not case. I don't know one person from school who got efficent in french or spanish when I still went to school and had these subjects even though we all had to put in so many hours into these languages, had to do so many homeworks etc. For me and for you it'll probably be very similar: I saw very quick and rapid progress at the very beginning. But this progress will at one point or another stail and I wouldn't notice it for several weeks if not months. That happened to me several times throughout the journey. I doubted what I did and several times thought that at that point I needed to change something. In these moments I thought about my conversations. If I remembered that the people I often talked to in that language started speaking either faster with me or used more complexe vocabulary than I knew I was on the right track. Or if one of these people told me that my language skills improved I knew I was on the right track. Which helped me even more so tbh was when I noticed that I got better at reading and that it started to be easier for me and that it was that energy consuming for my brain anymore. Everytime I noticed that it didn't take much longer till I noticed my language skill being better than they used to. And guess what....everytime I worked on my language by reading as my main focus. Everytime I doubted this method and thought about my reading skills I noticed them improving, being better compared to months or even weeks ago.

Sou brasileiro e acho que existem mais países e pessoas que falam espanhol. Porém o português é mais bonito de se falar.

[@1Maestr00o3]

Good joke

[@mep6302]

Você está errado

[@CountofSerenno]

Olá do Canadá. Eu também penso português é mais bonito para ouvir e falar. Eu aprendi português para duas semanas agora então eu não é muito bom.

[@Lucario-Good]

Bueno , si es vuestro idioma materno claramente será para usted mas bonito de hablar

[@sgill4833]

I need to pass A2 in 6 yrs but want to learn Spanish as well. So should I learn Spanish first and then Portuguese. Right now Im leanring Russian. Wanted to start woth the hardest language first.

[@gregoneill990]

I'm asking myself the same question. I'm tending to Spanish as Spanish language cinema is far and away bigger and better than the other two.

🇧🇷🇧🇷NA MINHA OPINIÃO ITALIANO PORTUGUÊS E ESPANHOL E GALEGO, SÃO AS LÍNGUAS ROMÂNICAS QUE MAIS SE PARECEM ENTRE SI. NÓS NOS ENTENDEMOS TÃO BEM! SÓ O FRANCÊS E O ROMENO QUE NA MINHA OPINIÃO É MAIS COMPLICADO DE SE ENTENDER...🇧🇷🇧🇷

O Francês e o romeno são complicados quando são falados , mais escretos saõ com irmaos com os outros

I saw brazilian flag (my country) so I'm here haha you're so beautiful 🥰

[@joaojosesilva693]

The portuguese language should be represented by the Portuguese flag is yhe motherland of the language.

[@mustafabelal38]

Which one of these languages is your favorite?

[@milagrosjimenezderuiz7788]

If you learn Spanish you can go 23 countries without change the language, is more more useful

[@logan9920]

Português first its the hardest for English speakers doing one year than switching to Spanish and Italian.

[@InteractiveDNA]

You learn Brazilian Portuguese you know most of Spanish and some Italian, but not the other way around.

[@nikoeboo]

Do u recommend learning Spanish or French? Which one is more useful and easier? Did u like France or Spain more? Are those languages similar?

[@itsimplyeve]

Yes, they have the same roots but are quite different. I find Spanish to be much easier in terms of pronunciation. Spanish grammar is also a bit more simple. I'd definitely recommend starting with Spanish first if you want to learn both languages. I have lived in both countries and up to date, Spain is definitely my favorite!

[@nikoeboo]

@@itsimplyeve ty for answer🥰

[@toatoa6094]

I also recommend spanish, spanish is the easiest of all romance languages and also the most popular nowadays

[@nikoeboo]

@@toatoa6094 I will take that into consideration :)

[@ЛогинПаролин-х6ь]

They 3 are OK, and yes, Spanish is more popular namely nowadays, unlike centuries ago, when French was the most widely spread diplomatic language. French and Italian are for exquisite and aristocratic things: fashion, classical music, opera, cuisine, wines, design of furniture, parfumerie, jewellery, architecture, arts, classical culture. French and Italian have more profound aristocratic history than English, Spanish and Russian. Aristocracy of England spoke French 700-1000 years ago and of Russia 150-260 years ago. French and Italian even sound much more exquisite, very beautiful and romantic. British and American elites now rule the West, but they use the language which borrowed 29% for French+6% from ancient Greek +29% from Latin. Even the word language originated from French "langue"

[@josephduran3977]

Spanish and English are the two most widely spoken european languages in the world, so make your choices.

[@pauvermelho]

Portuguese it's the 3°

[@kornet_85]

Spanish italiano Portuguese= modern latin.....pd French and Romanian is the more far away Latin lenguages from latin

[@mep6302]

In my opinion, Italian is the closest language to Latin, second is Spanish, third Portuguese, forth French and last is Romanian.

[@kornet_85]

@@mep6302 yes is like you say....but a minor lenguage is closer the Sardinian

[@zetnikoven]

similarities, Doesn't make confuse us? These languages have very similar vocabularies some of them almost the same writing? Today I am afraid the learning these languages after Spanish.

[@belle_pomme]

TheUrbanEve: Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian? Me: French

[@joaojosesilva693]

I don`t understand wy you put the brazilian flag next to Portugal? The mother country of the Lusitanian language is Portugal! If you put Brazil then you have to put the rest of the portuguese speaking countries; Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, Cape Verde, Goa, Diu, Daman, Macau, East Timor, etc. In my opinion you are not being correct.

[@itsimplyeve]

Well, I’m speaking about Brazilian Portuguese mostly so logically I put that flag, i did not learn the accent from Portugal. And it’s rare to meet Portuguese around the world as well as learn from media. Most pop culture is always Brazilian.

[@joaojosesilva693]

@@itsimplyeve if you are really talking about Brazil you don't need the Portuguese flag. As for your difficulty in seeing posts about the Portuguese language, I think you are very distracted. Try to do research on the Portuguese language in its origin, you will see that you will find many Portuguese posts about the Portuguese language.

[@FKAwalkwithwade]

Which should I learn first

[@mep6302]

I recommend Spanish because it's the second most spoken language unless you don't want to go to Latin America or Spain.

[@jaxieredu]

Hi What Portuguese did you learn? The European or the Brazilian?

[@itsimplyeve]

Brazilian

[@gessemouraflauzinocarvalo7288]

Spanish,second language of world,very simple.

[@NelsonBlandonArceda]

TOTALMENTE de acuerdo contigo amigo. A nivel mundial, en todos los aspectos y campos, el #Inglés es el 1o, y el #Español es el 2o. In fact, in the #USA the second spoken languages after #English is #Spanish.

[@jardstenmark5005]

between italian and spanish, wich was easier to learn?

[@itsimplyeve]

Definitely Spanish for me!

Does learning Portuguese make Spanish easier to learn

[@itsimplyeve]

Yes, but it’s easier to learn Spanish first.

[@nikolairocca8578]

I hate when people don’t use the flags of the original country like using Brazil instead of Portugal

[@itsimplyeve]

Well that’s your problem. I’m talking specifically about Brazilian Portuguese because that’s the one I learned. And official language schools do the same if you haven’t noticed. They use the Brazilian flag to teach BRAZILIAN Portuguese if you agree or don’t doesn’t matter. It’s how it’s done.

[@oliverbr816]

i totally agree with you but telling one of your viewers that “if you agree or don’t doesn’t matter “displays a certain lack of tact.

[@alexurfantasy]

@@oliverbr816why are you being such a hater ? Brazilian Portuguese is way more relevant then Portuguese from Portugal anyway . As a Spanish speaker I can pretty much understand Brazilian Portuguese but Portuguese from Portugal is almost incomprehensible

[@ashtonshorts6904]

¿Tu hablas francais?

[@ilanchii]

Spanish the easiest of the 3, once you know Spanish you will be understood in the other 2

[@nehabind7233]

Which dialect of Spanish u have learned ? And which dialect is easy to learn ? And is Spanish and there dialects are different?

[@itsimplyeve]

I learned European Spanish because that's what is taught here in schools and later on I lived in Spain. But nowadays I speak a mix since most of my friends I communicate with are Latin Americans. I'd say Latin American Spanish might be easier to understand because it is often much slower, like Mexican or Colombian Spanish. However, of course, there are still exceptions (e.g. Caribbean Spanish is very fast and not as clear since they often don't pronounce certain letters like the s sounds and ending of words) All in all it doesn't really matter which variant you learn as they are all the same language. It's like deciding on British or American English. At the end of the day, it's the same language.

[@michellevenus661]
