My biggest gripe with spanish is J having the "ha" sound. Juan is spelled "Hoo-an", Jesus is "Heh-zus", etc. If you can get over that, the rest is mostly phonetically sound, like portuguese
I think you'll find even in Spanish Juan is still spelled Juan and Jesus is still spelled Jesus.
Portuguese, to me, sounds like this: msh msh oowow msh msh. I love it.
It's striking how different it sounds. I have knowledge of Latin, French and German, and Portuguese sounds way more like a German dialect on casual overhearing than the one it's derived from or its modern descendant it's closely related to!
