Language advice needed
I have been studying Portuguese on and off for a couple years now. I've spent about 6 months in Brazil over the past 5 years and feel comfortable with the language but definitely not fluent. I would rate my proficiency of understanding about 80% spoken conversation....50% television...don't have too many problems ordering things over the telephone. I have a pretty good grasp of the basics but I am definitely continuing my studies.
Having given a little background info, my question is what advice can anyone give regarding studying basic spanish concurrently with advanced level Portuguese?
Would you reccomend becoming absolutely perfect in Portuguese before taking on Spanish or is it reasonable to begin basic Spanish at the same time? Also, I work with a lot of Mexicans, so I have a great oppurtunity to practice. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
