    Depends of which Brazilian, some favela negros speaks a """"dialect"""" that doesnt seems to be portuguese.

    There's a regional variation.

    I find portugal accents easier. It sounds clearer and closer to spanish.

    Some accounts of brazil are hard to understand where they make tones that almost sound nasely but expressive.

    Brazilian Portuguese is probably easier to understand.

    European Portuguese has more complex phonology which results being able to say the same thing with half of the syllables sometimes compared to BP.

    In BP everything is pronounced in a way that more directly ressembles how it's written, which makes it easier to understand if you already know the word in the written form or by analogy with other romance languages.
    Based on these examples the brazilian ones is way better to understand.
    They said dezzesette in portugal accent and im like what?
    You miss some sounds sometimes they dont even say all the sounds sometimes and its less clear. They cut off sounds more in words and its not as sharp

    Reminds me of how spaniards muffle their speech with a lisp in a way. Its annoying to hear them say th when there is no god dam H after the T or a Th where there is a C like in Altagracia.

    More or less the same. Portuguese in general is a melodic language and Brazilian Portuguese even more. The European version sometimes sounded like Russian lol.
