Understanding spoken Portuguese, however, is more difficult. Although on paper Portuguese words look similar to Spanish, they actually sound very different. Consonants are slurred, and vowels are flat and truncated, nasal or sometimes disregarded completely. Although English is widely spoken in tourist areas, knowing a few Portuguese words will make your trip more rewarding. Do you speak English? Fala Inglês?
