Spanish in Brazil?

Wednesday June 25, 2003
No, the language of Brazil is Portuguese, or at least a variation of it. But apparently Brazilians are increasingly learning Spanish as a second language. Join the discussion with a South American who cares in our forum, and if you're really interested in the subject, you might try reading this somewhat dated scholarly Spanish-language article, El español en Brasil.

You are wrong. The second language of Brazil is the english. We neither have spanish classes on school. And portuguese is not a variation of spanish. They are different languages.
