    Default Native Spanish-speakers: do you understand Portuguese or Italian more easily?

    IMO Portuguese is easier to understand when written, but Italian when spoken.

    Both, since I lived in Rome in my childhood and I went many times to Brazil (I have relatives in Río and Fortaleza) I can speak both in equal mostly.
    Grammar is really easier in portuguese though.
    In italian I have some problems with "doppie consonanti" especially.
    But I love both languages.

    I understand both but I studied both for a while. Italian and brazilian portuguese are equally easy to understand for me. Portugal portuguese is harder to catch.

    If you grew up in Rome that make you an native italian speaker instead a spanish one. Anyway, you gain my whole respect, only few people could domain 4 languages.
