Portuguese is like catalan which is like occitan (southern French). If you know one of the Latin languages, Portuguese shouldn't be too hard, really.
To read? Absolutely. To understand, even though I speak some other Romance languages? Just no.
Ah yeah that's fair enough. But then again that's true of all the languages I've learnt.
Learning spoken English with the BBC accent and then landing in Ireland and dealing with all the local accents... that was some craic alright!
Just learn 3-4 latin languages, and latin ofc and you should be ready to go
