What is easier to learn Portuguese or spanish?
I think it'd be easier to learn Spanish but it'd more interesting to learn Portuguese. I want to learn stuff where it isn't the norm.If you are going to learn ONE language, you will find that Spanish is much more useful. It is also a bit easier to learn. However, if you want to learn BOTH, learn Portuguese first and then later learn Spanish. The good thing about Portuguese is that once you know it you can understand Spanish as well (not perfectly, but a good portion of it). This does not work in reverse, Spanish speakers can understand almost nothing of Portuguese.I am currently in Brazil learning Portuguese for the same reason: it is more out of the norm to know Portuguese than to know Spanish. I stand out and I like that. However, after learning Portuguese I know that it will be relatively easy for me to learn Spanish, so that will be my next goal.Portuguese is much more harder to understand depending on your origin. If you're american or english, I'm pretty sure Spanish is a lot easier, as HUNDREDS of english words originated from Spanish. On the other hand, if you're from eastern europe (Romanian, Ukrainian, etc.), Portuguese will be a walk in the park, since there's many alphabetical and phonetical similarities. Besides, phonologically and even in written terms, spanish is much more fluent and easy to grasp than portuguese anyway.
Is Brazilian Portuguese much different from Portuguese spoken around the world?
The difference is something like American English to British English. The reason Brazilians tend to have more difficulty with European Portuguese, is because we do not get exposed to their accents. Ever... It's rare for a Brazilian to hear the European version of our language. But the Portuguese get bombarded with Brazilian media, such as music, tv shows.
Are Portuguese and Spanish interchangeable?
No. A person who learned Spanish won't be able to understand Portuguese (unless he learned Portuguese separately), and vice versa. Spanish and Portuguese sound quite similar, and many of their words are the same or very similar; you can notice that they have a common origin. But there are enough differences to cause this situation (that people can't understand one another).
How similar are French and Portuguese languages?

They share many vocabulary and grammatical similarities, making it easier for speakers of one language to understand the other. However, there are also significant differences in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary between the two languages.
Do all the people in South America speak Spanish?
