      I always feel like Portuguese is the romance language that hated their parents and refused to participate in any family activities. Like Latin is in the front seat yelling back “Cur non eritis sicut sorores tuae!” and Portuguese is in the way back going, “Pare de tentar controlar quem eu sou!”

          People speaking Russian always triggers my Portuguese language processor, so yeah I’d say that’s accurate.

          Here’s the thing about Portuguese: you can go from portuguese to other romance languages much more easily than the reverse. If you want to learn Italian, French and Portuguese, start with Portuguese.
