How similar is Portuguese to Spanish?

How similar is Portuguese to Spanish?

And in extension, how similar are Brazilian and European Portuguese to each other?
And in further extension, which one is closer to Spanish?

The grammar of both languages is very similar and there are a lot of words which are easily recognisable as a lot of the time there is only a difference of one or two letters.

I think this is what makes it easy for speakers of either language to understand the other. The similarity is so much so that I did have to restart one Spanish speaking exam as I had slipped into speaking Portuguese subconsciously. However, there are always those faux amis.

In my opinion Brazilian Portuguese is closer to Spanish than Portuguese Portuguse in terms of the pronunciation of words.

European Portuguese is very similar to Brazilian Portuguese. I'd say that the main difference is grammar as there are quite a few disagreements on what is/isn't grammatically correct. We can still understand each other quite easily understand each other even if it takes a little inferring.

In my opinion Brazilian Portuguese is closer to Spanish than Portuguese Portuguese in terms of the pronunciation of words, but other than that they are both very similar.

Sorry! I wasn't being sarcastic.

Five is a huge number of languages. That's what I mean- you already are a real polyglot!

Worth learning? Any resources for Brazilian Portuguese?

As I'd love to learn the language of Brazil!
