Votes: 0 Here are some tips, from personal experience, in order to avoid the main mistakes:
1) As much as possible, avoid learning languages that are very related (Spanish- Portuguese)
I found it very difficult to distinguish those, since there are indeed very close. Hence, I couldn't build an oral sentence in Portuguese without putting some "hispanismos" (says my Portuguese teacher) in it. In the beginning, I perceived it as a challenge to talk both of them in a pure way, but I confess that I finally gave up with Portuguese and decided to focus on Spanish : indeed, from my experience, it is more profitable to learn deeply one language than to multiply too superficial experiences.
2) Understand the working of each language (English- Latin related languages)
Some languages have their own specificities and it is helpful to memorize them : for example, "function" in English will be translated into "função" in Portuguese and "función" into Spanish. You will notice that the stem remains unchanged : what changes is the termination. Keep in mind that the English "tion" is the equivalent of the Portuguese "ção" and the Spanish "ción". That tip can be useful to switch from one language to another but it is highly variable following the languages.
3) Listen a lot (French,Italian,Spanish,Portuguese)
A good way to differentiate languages is the pronounciation : listen to videos and podcasts so that you see the differences between Italian "chiamare" and Portuguese "chamar" ! | Votes: 0 Here are a few tips, from individual experience, keeping in mind the end goal to evade the primary errors:
1) As much as could reasonably be expected, abstain from learning dialects that are exceptionally related (Spanish- Portuguese)
I thought that it was extremely hard to recognize those, since there are in reality close. Henceforth, I couldn't construct an oral sentence in Portuguese without putting some "hispanismos" (says my Portuguese educator) in it. Initially, I saw it as a test to talk them two in an immaculate manner, yet I admit that I at long last surrendered with Portuguese and chose to concentrate on Spanish : in fact, from my experience, it is more productive to learn profoundly one dialect than to increase excessively shallow encounters.
2) Understand the working of every dialect (English- Latin related dialects)
A few dialects have their own specificities and it is useful to remember them : for instance, "capacity" in English will be deciphered into "função" in Portuguese and "función" into Spanish. You will perceive that the stem stays unaltered : what changes is the end. Remember that the English "tion" is what might as well be called the Portuguese "ção" and the Spanish "ción". That tip can be helpful to change starting with one dialect then onto the next however it is very variable after the dialects.
3) Listen a ton (French,Italian,Spanish,Portuguese)
A decent approach to separate dialects is the pronounciation : listen to features and podcasts so you see the contrasts between Italian "chiamare" and Portuguese "cha | Votes: 0 Here are a few tips, from individual experience, keeping in mind the end goal to evade the primary errors:

1) As much as possible, avoid learning languages that are very closely related (Spanish- Portuguese)
I found it very difficult to distinguish between those, since they are indeed very close. Hence, I couldn't build an oral sentence in Portuguese, without including in it some "hispanismos" (says my Portuguese teacher). In the beginning, I perceived it as a challenge to be able to talk in both of them in a pure way, but I confess that I finally gave up with Portuguese and decided to focus on Spanish. Indeed, from my experience, it is more profitable to learn thoroughly one language, than to multiply two superficial experiences.
