Portuguese's most similar language is not the spanish. It's the galician (D'you remember Pedro Antônio?). There are groups that defends that the two languages are the same.

But, I can understand easily the wrote spanish and the most of wrote italian. And I understood completely a Balotelli interview in italian during World Cup, when he spoke slowly.

Curious that I don't have any spanish or italian class in my life.

Italian feels significantly less familiar than Spanish to me. However, my mother has a surprising (in the same way) understanding of spoken Italian - though that probably has something to do with overexposure to my grandpa's opera records at a young age

My mother sings some things in talian, a dialect from veneto mixed with portuguese and native brazilian words.

Look it:


In portuguese is
- Por que choras?
- O Celta sempre joga de noite e não posso ir ao Balaidos.

In english
- Why you are crying?
- Because Celta play only at night and I can't go to the Balaidos (Celta's stadium)

That was the 3rd match of the group and the 1st without Maradona (dopping). What a great team we had. The morale went to the underground after the Maradona's dopping but look at these names: Goycochea, Islas, Sensini, Ruggeri, Simeone, Redondo, Chamot, Zanetti, Maradona, Batistuta, Caniggia, Ortega, Basualdo...

[Shoegazing Leo]

Abel Balbo was a very good striker, but it was eclipsed by Gabriel Batistuta.

[alanrotoi]

Yeah I loved the Balbo-Batistuta delantera but Balbo couldn't stand out in the national team. Anyway we had Caniggia that is the kind of striker I like. A bit backward + ultra fast.

Like Bebeto

[alanrotoi]

You mean Bebeto similar of Caniggia. Yes I've never saw that but basically yes. But look, that kind of player needs a "ball keeper", a good 10 (or a brain player, often a 10).

Hungarian certainly isn't...

Italian too. Romance languages.

BTW I hate when they say "Spanish" instead of "Castilian" because Galician, Asturian, Aragonese are Spanish languages too. I accept Castilian as Spanish because it's the most popular but it isn't completely accurate.

I speak Castilian a spanish language.
