With effort and practice, a Spanish speaker might be able to learn Portuguese more easily than someone who speaks a completely different language.

Are Brazilians considered Latino?
Actually Latino does not mean Spanish. A true "Latino would be someone who speaks Latin. People from the US call Spanish speakers Latinos, because they know that Spanish is a language derived from the old Latin language. So actually every person that speaks a language that comes from Latin is considered to be a Latino. That includes Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, and French. Brazilians don't like to be called Latinos because the stereotype that Latinos all speak Spanish. Latin America is called like that because people there speak 3 Latin languages, Spanish, French and Portuguese, as opposed to English which is a Germanic language. Haitians speak French, so technically they are Latinos too, since French comes from the Latin language. The correct term is "Hispanic" if you want to refer to a Spanish Speaker.
