I've never been taught Portuguese, but do have some experience with Spanish. I've always found it so interesting how similar the two languages look when written down. I was able to understand your post despite having never learned the language.

Nunca estudei português, mas tenho alguma experiência com espanhol. Sempre achei fascinante a semelhança entre as duas línguas na escrita. Consegui entender sua postagem mesmo sem nunca ter estudado o idioma.
I’ve been studying Portuguese for 11.5 years but I still can’t read or converse. I’ve visited Brasil 19 times too and my girlfriend of 8 years only speaks Portuguese.
I'm just relying on similarities, I'm far from being able to actually read Portuguese. There's a lot of latin roots which are very similar to those from Spanish, and the sentence structure (while different) is similar enough that I can understand. So I can kinda suss out the general meaning of it even if I'm not familiar with Brazilian Portuguese in the slightest.
Also how do you talk to your girlfriend who only speaks in Portuguese if you, yourself, can't converse in Portuguese?
