  • I learned Portuguese as an expat, and the general consensus among expats was that the kids who were in a pt-speaking country first had a much easier time learning Spanish (and particularly getting the accent right) later than the other way around.

    I found that after a day or two I could just read Italian, and could negotiate basic needs in Rome without a phrasebook.
