    Idk how it’s like from the opposite perspective, but as a native Spanish speaker, I can understand Portuguese at like 70% if the person speaks slowly. Sometimes it even sounds more like a dialect than a different language.

      It’s similar for me. I understand a lot of Spanish dialogue up until I encounter some false cognate like “rango” (trans. “faixa” or “intervalo” and not “dinner”).

      It’s also hard to not do the Portuguese abbreviations like “pra” instead of “para la”.
